Hugh Connington

Ser Hugh Connington is Lord Rodrik Connington’s youngest brother and a knight of the Order of the Red Antler. With his wife, Helaena Merryweather, he has a single son, Ser Gerald Connington.

Appearance and Character
Hugh sports long, blond hair, a matching full beard, discerning blue eyes, and a brawny physique. He is shorter than his two older brothers, but much more spirited.

He is paranoid and agitated when out in public. He expects the worse from others save those closest to him, which leads him to treat life as a continuous game of strategy against hostile elements.

History
Hugh was born as Lord Axell Connington’s youngest son and first child by Lady Mylenda Selmy. Like his younger sister, Cassana, he learned how to fight from his mother, a warrior woman of renown.

He fought in the War of the Three Thieves, though he did not join his family in the assault on Grey Gallows. As Axell’s youngest, he was charged with commanding the Stormlander fleet offshore.

He accompanied his father during the Mummer's War and witnessed the surrenders of Bitterbridge and Highgarden.

He joined the Order of the Red Antler upon its creation, and has served Lord Gwayne Baratheon ever since. When Gwayne was incapacitated, Hugh served as the Red Stag’s primary agent outside of Storm’s End.
