Criston Connington

Ser Criston Connington is Lord Rodrik Connington’s younger brother and the current Castellan of Griffin’s Roost. Criston is married to Jeyne Swann. His sole surviving child is Arianne.

Appearance and Character
Criston has balding, red hair, light blue eyes, severe eyebrows, a full beard and goatee, and a round but sturdy physique.

A true secondborn son, he is dutiful and content. He prefers sedentary life and finds great joy in remaining at Griffin’s Roost. He is not quick to anger, though he is quick to laugh.

History
Criston was born in 475 AC as the secondborn son of Lord Axell Connington and Lady Shyra Connington, who passed away while giving birth to him.

Criston was a blessing to his family while growing up. He rarely found himself in trouble, attended most of his maester’s lectures, and never provoked his siblings.

He married Jeyne Swann in 392 AC and with her had a son, Edric, who died a year after his birth, and a daughter, Arianne, who lived.

He was the castellan of Griffin’s Roost during the War of the Three Thieves, seeing no combat. He partook in the Mummer's War with his father and brothers, but again saw no combat.

Since Rodrik’s appointment to the small council in 410 AC, Criston has served as the castellan of Griffin’s Roost. Though he has done little of note, he did join Lady Milanna Sunderland’s naval alliance shortly after its creation.
