Osmund Mullendore

Osmund Mullendore is the second son of Lord Martyn Mullendore and his wife, Cassana Hightower. He was appointed Lord Commander of the City Watch of Oldtown after he aided Lord Arthur Hightower during the Hightower Affair.

Appearance and Character
Osmund looks like his father in his prime, with jet-black hair and blue eyes resembling those of his mother. A tall man at 6'2 in height, he is well-built and vigorous. He keeps his face shaved, due to his inability to grow a beard beyond unkept fuzz.

Osmund is a fighter through and through, dashing and good with a sword. He is proud of his achievements and a brutal foe to the enemies of Oldtown, but he is kind and considerate towards his family, especially his wife and her daughter Hanna. He is faithful to the Seven and is known to visit the Starry Sept at least once a week. He enjoys living and is a man who laughs at japes and is receptive to people.

Osmund is a strong man, making him a powerful man in the field, and is also considered attractive. Many people consider him slow of wits, but those who underestimate his ability to observe will soon learn the truth.

History
Osmund was born at Uplands in 408 AC to Martyn Mullendore and his wife Cassana Hightower. As a second son, he spent more time sparring than learning how to manage a lordship. Still, he learned his letters and became more observant of suspicious activity.

He squired for Wilbert the Tall, a knight in service of House Mullendore, and was knighted at the age of 20 by him. He won small honours at tourney around the Reach, but has never won a joust. He was the champion of a melee at Uplands in 429 AC. He then came into the service of House Hightower as master-at-arms of the Hightower.

During the Second Hammer Uprising, Osmund was helping the City Watch quell the mob at the Starry Sept when Ser Duncan Hammer kidnapped Addam Hightower, but after it came out that Addam Hightower had been kidnapped, he stayed loyal to Lady Aelora while the Warsmiths ruled Oldtown. He was key in Lady Aelora's plot to regain Oldtown, and helped the City Watch arrest Ser Benedar Bulwer.

After the return of Lord Arthur Hightower, he was consequential in the Hightower Affair, where he was selected for his loyalty as a judge in the trials in the Hightower as a stand-in for the Warrior. He was amongst the ones who tried to prevent the death of Rhea Flowers. After the trials, Osmund was raised to be the Lord Commander of the City Watch of Oldtown.

After the Second Hammer Uprising, Osmund was betrothed by Arthur Hightower to Olenna Costayne, a widow whose husband died fighting the Warsmiths, but was part of House Costayne, Hightower vassals who rebelled against them. He took both her and her daughter Hanna Hunt in, and treated them both with the respect they deserved, including Hanna, whom she treated as his own. They were wed in 436 AC.

After trying for a long time to conceive, the pair finally had a child in the 12th Moon of 437 AC, a girl whom they named Ellyn.
