Baelor has blonde hair of a pale hue which he keeps neat and cut. While his family is prone to excessive weight, the young knight does not suffer this due to his frequent fasting. Baelor is built like a swordsman, broad and quick. His face, in spite of his age, is lined with austerity and worry.

[b]Description:[/b]
Born the seventh child of Lord Manderly, his fate was apparently sealed when his father subsequently named him Baelor, after the pious king. 

Even as a boy, he rarely laughed or smiled, to the point that his father, Lord Wylfred, would refer to it in a letter before his death and that of his wife, Lady Cassana of House Hornwood. Watching their ship wreck in the Bay of Seals killed what childhood remained for him, and he’s grown into a harsh and bitter man, utterly uncompromising, seeing the world in black and white, where right and wrong is indelible. He found comfort in Faith.

When his eldest brother rose to the position of Lord of White Harbor and Warden of the White Knife, Baelor was only a young lad and studying a lot in the White Sept. However, around the age of thirteen a new interest and idea took shape in the young man’s mind. The Faith was lacking a sword and shield, while it clearly deserved them. He resolved to become a man of piety, a knight who would uphold all oaths and vows sworn.

With the exile of the Manderlys to the North nearly a thousand years ago, and the demise of House Gardener, the Knightly Order of the Green Hand was taken over by Baelor’s house. It was however only a titular entity up to Baelor’s ascension to knighthood. He had studied religion and his house’s history well enough and came to the realisation a lot of its supposed glory was hollow.

He took an active role in reinvigorating the order, and attracted swords and pious knights by his example. Baelor has named himself Shield of the Faith and Defender of the Dispossessed, after two of the titles the Manderlys possess. Baelor commands the Seven’s Seastar, an impressive war-galley.

Recently, he has lead 76 fellow knights south to a pilgrimage to the Quiet Isle, which coincided with an invitation of Lord Jasper Arryn to attend his nameday’s tournament. Baelor recognises in the young Arryn lord a fellow spirit and means to be present and participate in the event, together with the other Seventy-Seven.
