Landon Tully

Landon Tully was the Lord of Riverrun and Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. He is the only child of Lord Brandon and Sanelle Bracken to be legitimised, and the half-brother of Berena Tully. He has three siblings by his mother: Serra, Alys, and Damion.

Appearance
He was dark of hair, tall, and had a small moustache above his full lips. He was growing in a beard, but just barely. He looked like a man who would struggle to acquire as much.

He has caramel brown eyes. He is tall and broad, and has a commanding presence. His voice is powerful, and he typically presents himself in the manner of a lord, contrary to his previous bastard status.

History
Landon was born in the year 382 AC, the second child of Lord Brandon Tully and his mistress, Sanelle Bracken. He was the first son to be born of Lord Brandon, and such was cherished by him and his. Called "The Golden Boy of House Tully" by some, Landon was a strong youth and a strapping lad, and was a page during the War of Three Thieves.

Afterwards, Landon returned to court with his father, remaining in King's Landing until 406 AC. During such time, he came into his own, and was famous for conquering many of King's Landing's brothels.

His bastard nature led him to serve in the Goldcloaks for a short time before retiring. Several run-ins with local bands of thieves had soured his reputation during that time.

Despite his failings, or despite his virtues, perhaps, Landon was a humble man, and never demanded anything of his father. When Brandon passed from the mortal coil late in 406 AC, it was said that Landon mourned a day and a night, and saw his father to rest himself.

The Taming of the Lady
Landon returned home to a court expectant of him. His younger sister, Berena, was weary of him, but Landon soon proved himself a capable man, and an appeasing lord. He sought to soften tensions between himself and Berena, even taking her out hunting, and teaching her how to use a crossbow.

He also took to bed Elinor Vance, who disappeared from Riverrun soon after. The conspiracy led to Landon confronting Berena about, and eventually reprimanding her.

407 AC
Landon's crimes were brought to light during the Tourney of Harrenhal, as Berena spread word of what he had done. Landon returned to Riverrun thereafter, but not before being confronted by Maegor Waters on his dragon, Morghul.

A duel ensued between the two, which Landon lost almost immediately. He was made to confess his crimes before the people of Riverrun. Shortly after returning to Riverrun, a mutiny occurred, which forced him to flee from his seat.

Quotes
“This is how I rule,” he said. “This is how I will be Lord of the Riverlands.” - Landon, to Berena

“Change comes and goes. It is an ebb that will not see an end. With every new ruler comes a new court, and with every new court comes change. What about the change frightens you, Berry?” - Landon, to Berena

“That’s exactly it. They are as bad as the court of King’s Landing. One moment, one man fights for one thing, and the next, he has gone back on all that he is fought for. They scheme for power, and money, and I tell them that I am but a man, and need time to adjust to my position. They bow their heads and simper, and they gossip. They know what I and her did, just as you know it.”
