Andar Royce

Raymun Royce is a knight of House Royce and current heir to Runestone, the seat of his father, Lord Reynard Royce. Since 408 AC, he has lived in King's Landing as a hostage.

Appearance and Character
Raymun is quite unlike his father in appearance, taking after his Hightower mother. He is tall, but not large like his father, and has brown hair and striking blue eyes. He has a far leaner frame than his father, though is still adequately fit from years of training.

Raymun can be characterized by bouts of fun and solemnity. A life estranged from his family has done some harm to his connections to others, and he has grown even further detached due to an unhappy marriage to his wife, Meredyth Rosby -- one forced upon him by the Queen.

Raymun finds peace in being alone, and thoroughly enjoys the 'company' of dragons, from a distance. He can often be found on the walls of the Red Keep, gazing out over the city, or somewhere atop Rhaenys' Hill where he might have a view of the dragons within the Dragonpit.

History
Raymun was born to Lord Reynard Royce and Leysel Hightower in 394 AC, their second child and firstborn son. As such, Raymun was raised as heir to his father's lands and titles, and received an education befitting of this fact.

When fourteen, Raymun was still squiring for ___ when the Vale marched to war. He was not with his father and Lord Alaric Arryn when they suffered a catastrophic defeat at the Ruby Ford. However, as recompense for House Royce's treason, Raymun was taken to King's Landing to serve as a hostage.

In King's Landing, Raymun served House Targaryen's household and was treated well. He almost immediately began training with the Master-at-Arms of the Red Keep -- Desmond Darke -- and the man soon became a father figure to young Raymun. There were few else that Raymun trusted or even liked in the city.

In 412 AC, Raymun was informed that he was to wed Meredyth Rosby, one of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting, and a member of a loyalist house. With his new wife, Raymun has sired two children -- Anya in 413 AC, and Desmond in 414 AC -- though the marriage is not a happy one.

Raymun was knighted by Desmond in 415 AC for his services to the Red Keep and the royal house, and it has been one of his proudest moments, and something he has been grateful, ever since.
