Aethan Rivers

WIP

Ser Aethan Rivers is the bastard son of Lord Orynn Smallwood and his lover, Cerelle Roxton. Aethan was raised in Atranta as a ward and squire of Lord Laswell Vance, and befriended Theowyn Vance and Arton Rivers during his time there, ultimately being knighted by Theowyn during the hunt for his Laswell's killers.

With the recent death of all his trueborn siblings, Aethan's father has called him and his bastard sister, Joanna Rivers back to Acorn Hall, their futures uncertain.

Appearance and Character
Aethan is a tall, strong, and vigorous man, in the spitting image of his father. He has a head of thick, wavy, dirty blonde hair, and a pair of warm brown eyes. A stubble rests along his chin, as does a thin scar on his left cheek.

Though vain and debaucherous, Aethan is a good man at heart, and values strength and loyalty above all else. Many know him to be a happy and gregarious person, in direct contrast to his father, with whom he has a rather strained relationship. His pride has led him to believe that perhaps his father would have him legitimized as his heir, despite signs indicating the contrary.

Early Life at Atranta
Born in 419 AC as a bastard to Lord Orynn Smallwood and Cerelle Roxton, baby Aethan was whisked away rather quickly from Acorn Hall to Atranta, where he would be raised as a page and later squire of Lord Laswell Vance. Growing up there, he would befriend Theowyn Vance, Lord Laswell's eldest son and heir, Byron Vance, and Arton Rivers. The four of them were thick as thieves, and
