Heya Drew, I've been lurking over the past day as gowi caught me doing and this looks really neat!
If there's room for another, I'd love to throw in some tentative interest.

House Description
House Seat
Highgarden
Head of House
Lady Paramount Elinor Tyrell
Recent History
House Tyrell has long been ruled by powerful women from behind the curtain, and the time has now come for a woman to become the Lady Paramount of the Reach, a first in the history of the region. The ascension of Elinor to the position of Lady Paramount has led to little celebration however, for she rises to power in the immediate aftermath of a sailing accident on the Mander that led to the deaths of her mother, father, and elder brother. Some whisper of foul play, others of a punishment from the Seven after House Tyrell allowed worshippers of R’hillor to practice their faith within the Reach. Whatever the reason, likely nothing more than a freak accident, Elinor now finds the responsibility of the most populous and prosperous region of the Reach thrust upon her. Inexperienced and unknown on the political stage, none know what to expect from the new House Tyrell.
House Relations
House Hightower
Relations between the Houses Hightower and Tyrell look certain to strengthen in the coming days, reaching new heights. Florian Tyrell, the late Lord Paramount of House Tyrell, had been in the final stages of organizing a wedding between his eldest daughter, Elinor, and Ser Jorgon Hightower, the heir to Oldtown. While Elinor has now found herself in the position of Lady Paramount, she was aware of the arrangement, and it is broadly expected that she will continue with the plans. Together, Houses Hightower and Tyrell are expected to rule the Reach.
House Florent
Cold, at best. Relations between houses Florent and Tyrell have been on a downward spiral ever since the War of the Five Kings, in which the house openly rebelled against their then-lord, Mace Tyrell. Forbidden from stripping the Florents from Brightwater Keep by Queen Daenerys, a source of great strain on the relations with the Royal Household, the Tyrells instead implemented a series of punitive measures against the Florents. These included increased taxes, and the taking of a ward. Since, despite seventy years having passed, relations have only gotten worse.
House Greyjoy
In the War of the Five Kings, under Euron Greyjoy, the Ironborn led a brutal assault on the Shield Islands. The stories haunt the lords of the Reach, and though the Shield Isles were liberated, a series of Greyjoy raids took place on areas near the Mander. Since then, relations have been understandably poor, and the Tyrells have made no effort in mending these relations. In response - the Shield Islands were a granted slight tax relief to rebuild, strengthen defences, and replenish garrisons. With Loron currently serving as Master of Ships, the Tyrells look with a cautious eye to the improved standing of House Greyjoy, and their much-increased fleet of warships.
House Stark
A perhaps unusual friendship has been struck between Houses Tyrell and Stark. The late lord Florian, upon hearing of the struggles mounting for the northern region, made a concentrated effort to send surplus grain supply and other transportable foods and resources to the North. A kind gesture on his part, certainly, and one that had limited impact on the Reach - he received a great gratitude from House Stark. Gifts were returned, and letters exchanged, as the usually reserved wolves of the North forged a friendship with Lord Tyrell. No doubt the Red Starks, who had long had an eye on southron friendships, jumped at the chance to secure positive relations with the Lord of the Reach. Indeed, Lord Florian was even named an honoured guest of the North - and whilst he never did travel to the region, he held the status with pride, and returned it in kind. With the recent death of Lord Florian, then, it was only natural for the Starks to receive a somewhat unconventional invitation to a southron tournament to mourn his passing, and celebrate the ascension of his daughter, Lady Elinor. An important point in Tyrell-Stark relations, the meeting of the new Lady Paramount and delegation from the North will no doubt set the tone for their relationship in the years to come.
Conceptualization
House Tyrell faces an uncertain future. Shocked by tragedy, they now find themselves following a leader who never expected she would hold the position, and her goals are unknown. What is sure, however, is that her fiercely independent spirit will clash with the strictly regimented routine of a Great Lord. Furthermore, her ‘new’ outlook and inspiration from Queen Daenerys will surely lead to nervous conversations between the old, and firmly traditional houses of the Reach. For better or worse - the sleepy pastures of the Reach will soon wake to a new reality.

Lady Paramount of the Reach
Lady of Highgarden
Age
20
Appearance
Elinor reaches a height of roughly 5’7, shorter than most of her male counterparts. Her frame is petite and delicate, often adorned by intricate robes of soft fabric and colourful patterns. She has always had a preference for shorter clothing, however, and often opts for respectful alternatives to the long dresses worn by the many women of nobility in Westeros. Her hair, whether kept straight or allowed to flow in slight curls, is the characteristic deep brown expected of a Tyrell. Likewise, her eyes are a brilliant white contrasted with a chocolate brown.
Reputation
THE NEW LADY
▔▔▔▔▔
Succeeding her father, Elinor has become the first Lady Paramount of the Reach, albeit under unfortunate circumstances. Her father, mother, and elder brother all perished alongside several other notable lords of the Reach in a tragic boating accident on the Mander. The accident itself happened only two months ago, and Elinor is still in the process of grieving at Highgarden. To leave behind the past, and begin looking forward to the future, a grand tourney is soon to be held at Highgarden to both mourn the tragic losses, and to celebrate the beginning of Elinor’s reign. This will provide the first opportunity for the lords and ladies of Westeros to acquaint themselves with the young ruler, who was never expected to hold such a position.
A NEW REALITY
▔▔▔▔▔
Elinor was raised in a new reality for many in Westeros, one where men and women inherited on equal grounds. She has been raised to be steadfast in her belief that women are as strong as their male counterparts, and just as capable of rulership. For House Tyrell especially, a line that is no stranger to powerful women, Elinor feels as though she has a chance to act as a role model for her fellow ladies of Westeros. More than this, she recognises the increased scrutiny she will come under as the men around her doubt her judgement and look upon her with a critical eye. She is determined to succeed, and make her mark on Westeros, whatever the cost.
Elinor is a capable rider, having always associated the concept of riding a horse with her own freedom. Furthermore, she is above-average with a bow, as her father allowed her to learn the skill out of pity after denying her requests to train with a blade.
A STAR-CROSSED LOVER
▔▔▔▔▔
If there is one thing that threatens the rule of Elinor Tyrell, it is her devotion and love to Ser Harrion Osgrey, her sworn shield and member of the household guard. The two are as close to soul-mates as a pair can be, and have known each other their entire lives. They dream of exploring Essos together, and seeing all Wonders Made by Man. Unfortunately, however, circumstances were destined to separate the two, and Elinor has been locked into an arrangement to be wed to Ser Jorgon of House Hightower, in a deal cemented by her late father and Lord Cordin Hightower. This would unite the Reach under the rule of House Tyrell, and whilst Elinor understands the logic behind the match, she finds herself torn. With this newfound independence over her life, she has control over matters once reserved for her father, and only time will tell if this will prove all too tempting for her to resist.

J O R G O N H I G H T O W E R
Engaged to be married in all but official announcement, many expect official wedding preparations will soon begin. Elinor and Jorgon have had limited contact so far, however, only meeting at wider events they have both participated in, such as feasts of the realm or tournaments. It looks near certain that Ser Jorgon will soon become the husband of Elinor, rising to Lord Paramount of the Reach, and cementing a long-lasting alliance between the houses Hightower and Tyrell.

Lord of the Reach
Ser
Age
48
Appearance
Gormon stands at slightly above the average for his gender, around 6’2. He has a bulky, somewhat muscular build from years of activity, be it riding on horse-back on sparring with a sword and shield. His hair is kept short and neatly trimmed, with well-groomed facial hair to match. He carries with him a natural warmth in his demeanor, and gives the natural impression of a man with advice worth listening to. His clothing is somewhat simplistic when compared to what may be expected from a member of House Tyrell - an indicator of his pragmatic personality.
Reputation
THE YOUNGER BROTHER
▔▔▔▔▔
Gormon is the younger, and only, brother of the late Lord Florian Tyrell. He has lived his life aiding and supporting his brother, wedding a politically important bride, and arranging similar matches for his children when they came of age. Indeed, Florian would often turn to Gormon for advice on particularly troubling or concerning matters. While he has not found himself in the spotlight often, Gormon has a politically astute mind, and has gained valuable experience in ruling. He is well-respected by the Lords of the Reach, and those who have met him. Now fulfilling the role of Elinor’s prime and most trusted advisor, it is certain that his wise counsel will go a long way to establishing her reign. So long as she heeds his advice, in any case.
STRATEGIST
▔▔▔▔▔
When the Stepstones Rebellion broke out in the year 369AC, Gormon was in King’s Landing at the time with a force of seventy household guard and accompanying knights. Upon hearing of the rebellion, he immediately rode for Storm’s End where he joined forces with the mustering forces of the Stormlands to aid in the effort to quell the rebellion. Gormon was welcomed into the camp of Lyonel Baratheon, and he assisted in developing a strategy for retaking the Stepstones. Over the course of the rebellion, he demonstrated his mind for strategy, and was a capable battlefield commander. With such a small force, however, his contributions were largely behind-the-scenes, and he has not gained the reputations now held by Loron Greyjoy and Lyonel Baratheon. Never being used to the spotlight, however, this has suited him perfectly.

His young niece has suddenly found herself filling the most powerful position in the Reach, and one of the most influential within Westeros. For Gormon, his primary concern is helping the young girl to navigate the politics of Westeros, and to help her grow into a fine Lady Paramount. He is undoubtedly her most trusted adviser, though he has found himself often frustrated with her ideas in the opening weeks of her reign, and he struggles to reel in her free spirit and individualistic nature.

As an 'Eraser', Ezekiel works directly for EuroCorp. It is his job to ensure any potential, large-scale problems for the corporation are properly 'handled'. This can be anything from silencing a whistle-blower, to ensuring an EPA Investigation follows the correct route. For an 'Eraser' - the interests of EuroCorp are their only priority.

In Ezekiel, it is possible to observe the man he once was through his diminishing physique. What were once broad shoulders have atrophied through neglect, a fact that is particularly apparent when he is not in uniform. Once, he stood at a relatively tall 6"2, though his back now arches ever-so-slightly into a default slump that leaves him likely closer to 6"1. Clearly, had you seen the man even five years ago, his athleticism and stamina would have been evident.
His large build remains however, and it is clear the man can still give out a strong punch, and take one, but the combination of alcohol and age has finally taken its toll on his physique. His hair and beard were once likely kept neatly trimmed, though these days appears rugged and unkempt. Shades of grey dominate the hair on his head, with only a few hairs of what was once auburn-brown remaining.
In contrast to this increasingly unkempt appearance, he will often be found wearing pristine suits and outfits without so much as a single crease. It creates an unusual contrast, and displays to the world his grasping attempts to stay focused and dedicated to his job. Yet while the uniform may be perfect, behind that uniform, the man himself, struggles to keep up in this ever-moving world.

DOGGED • CYNICAL • MELLOW • RELENTLESS
Ezekiel is a man who has been moulded by the world around him. Shaped by what he has seen, and by what he has done, Ezekiel is a callous and relentless operator. Were he anything less - he wouldn't have the job he has. In his line of work as an Eraser he has witnessed death, and he has been death. Such experiences, as has been the case with Ezekiel, will always leave their mark on a man. To those around him, he is reserved, aloof and never fully at-ease.
This was not always the case, however. Indeed, he has undergone quite a transformation from the days of his youth. Once - he was compassionate and warm. The world is not kind to these men, and after a great tragedy shook him to the core, he was never quite the same. His line of work, soon after, became his sole obsession, and gradually shaped him into the man he is today.
Such has been his life for the past thirty years. Yet as he advances in age, recognising that his time at the top of his game is running short, Ezekiel has become somewhat more reflective. He has begun to question how his life could have been were he to follow a different path - and, most concerningly for Ezekiel, he has come to wonder whether figures from his past would recognise the man he has become. Now, more than ever, there is an opportunity of redemption for this lost soul.
𝙱𝚒𝚘:
Now 52 years of age, Ezekiel was born in 2143. His family were reasonably wealthy, affording spacious accomodation in DST-4. Most of this income came from his mother, who worked in a bureaucratic role for the primary mega-corporation in the region, EuroCorp. His father was something of a failed scientist - constant looking to innovate and become the founder of the latest 'revolution' in hologram technology, an area in which he specialised. Something of a pipe dream, it would turn out, and the family was certainly lucky to have a breadwinner by way of their mother to pay the bills as their father floundered in his study. His early childhood was somewhat unremarkable, however, and despite the occasional arguments over his mothers insistence that their father find a 'real job', it was peaceful, too. On paper, it seemed he was likely to follow a career path similar to that of his mother. He was well-cared for, enjoyed a higher-than-average standard of living, and was plagued by no real troubles during his childhood. Ultimately, however, his path could not have strayed further.
Indeed, as Ezekiel grew into a man, he became frustrated with his closed-off and comfortable lifestyle. As many children do, he wanted to rebel. He wanted to be different from what his parents had expected of him. So it became, then, that he dropped the idea of attending higher education that would set him down the corporate path, and instead applied to join the Europa Policing Authority in the year 2161 not long after his eighteenth birthday. It was fast-paced, dangerous, and entirely the opposite of what his academic parents had envisioned. To Ezekiel, it was perfect. Soon after joining the EPA, whilst on an 'initiation night-out' with a few of his colleagues, he met Emmeline. Petite, beautiful, and smart. She was studying and training to become a veterinarian, as he learned during a lengthy first-conversation during the course of the night, and after several successful follow-up nights out together, they began dating. It was his first serious relationship - but for the two of them, the connection was clear. Both adventurous, fun-loving, and compassionate with a genuine desire to improve the world around them, their personalities complimented one another perfectly. Even his parents came to approve of his joining the EPA, reasoning that he would not have met Emmeline had he otherwise pursued higher education.
Life continued for the happy couple - and in four years they had not only moved in together, but Emmeline had successfully become a Junior Veterinarian, and Ezekiel had been lined-up for promotion to the reputable B-Unit of the EPA by the age of 24. He was a young prospective candidate - handpicked for his effort, but most importantly, his skill. Particularly with sidearm weaponry, Ezekiel had proven his prowess at the gun-range, and on the beat in more than his fair share of dangerous situations. Undoubtedly aiding his selection was the disaster of 2162, which saw masses of android units fall into a murderous frenzy. The event, brutal and disturbing, naturally led to an expansion of the B-Unit team, of which Ezekiel was apart. He would go on to complete a further two years of specialist training, followed by another year shadowing an agent of B-Unit before becoming an official member of the elite team at 27 years old.
Not long after turning 27, though, his life would be rocked by terrible tragedy. Since the successful hack of the Global Mainframe in 2162 that led to the disastrous and bloody events that followed, many hackers had attempted to replicate the hack, albeit on a smaller scale. One such attack would leave Ezekiel forever changed. Enjoying his promotion to B-Unit, and logging extra hours, he responded to a call concerning a suspicious android unit outside Shinzei Veterinarians. Alarmingly for Ezekiel - this was the vet that employed his long-time partner, Emmeline.
By the time he had arrived - there was nothing to be done. The android, sent rogue along with several others across Europa in a seemingly-random small-scale attack, massacred the inhabitants with chilling ease. Recorded footage from the security systems installed showed the unit mercilessly tossing clients against walls, murdering the staff, and exterminating the animals. It was a bloodbath, that had also resulted in the death of two EPA Officers responding to the call, who had arrived before Ezekiel.
The most gruesome and distressing of the events, however, was Ezekiel witnessing his partner and soul-mate, Emmeline, attempt in vain to barricade the door to the operations room near the rear of the building that sheltered her, and several others Witnessing such an event would undoubtedly change any man - and for Ezekiel, his reason for being had extinguished. With the android having shut-down after receiving several bullet-wounds from the two officers before murdering them, he found himself directing his rage at another. The hacker.
Being granted bereavement leave by the EPA - Ezekiel instead used this time to successfully track down, and extract a torturous revenge on the hacker, who turned out to be a 21 year old man ‘developing his cyber-skills’. It was that display that would lead to his recruitment directly by EuroCorp, and he was approached as a potential candidate to become an ‘Eraser’ for the mega-corporation. His acceptance of this offer, while in his state of grief and despair, ultimately changed his path forever. He was given the handle of 'Agent Phoenix', and his life as an Eraser began.
Ezekiel used the work as a means of diverting attention from the tragedy he had witnessed - devoting himself to the work and drinking excessively during his free-time to forget the past. This eventually became habit, and has had considerable consequences on his physique in the present day. For despite having earned his reputation as one of the leading agents of the EuroCorp, one of the most ruthless and effective ‘Erasers’, the prime of Ezekiel has passed.
Now, he finds himself in a downward spiral as the consequences of alcohol and age take their hold on his ailing body.

These two MK4-VAMP ballistic pistols have been with the agent through thick-and-thin, and can be equipped with silencers for operations that require a stealthier approach. Typically, they fire heavier rounds that will certainly leave a mark. On the side of the pistols is a small digital display that handily highlights the number of rounds remaining. A small, but powerful LED Flashlight rests below the muzzle.

Requisitioned specially by EuroCorp from one of the leading manufacturers of laser weaponry, in order to supply their elite agents and operatives of B-Unit, this NODE-MKII laser rifle is particularly effective. Only used by Agent Pheonix in situations such as raids, or operations which have failed the 'quieter' approach, this rifle can reportedly fire six-hundred shots before the battery needs to be changed. For changing the battery itself, there is an easy-access component on the stock of the rifle that allows for the quick change of a battery unit.

This Electric Stun Baton is an unremarkable, steel baton that is used to subdue opponents in hand-to-hand combat. There is also a stun function, utilized by a small button hidden under the hand-guard on the hilt of the baton. This works by, when the baton makes physical contact with a target, hitting the target with a one-off high-voltage spike of electric current to render them unconscious. The stun function of the baton requires time to charge after each use.

» Standard Uniform
This armour, worn regularly by Agent Phoenix, is a standard for the few 'Erasers' and Agents under the employment of EuroCorp.
Certainly, working for EuroCorp has its benefits, and one of the most obvious of these is the readily available access to cutting edge technologies that will give a much-needed edge in the constantly progressing, cybernetic world. Similar to B-Unit in the EPA, Erasers and EuroCorp Agents are afforded access to the latest advancements in EuroCorp technology. For this standard uniform, underneath the corporate suit itself is a body-covering, slim exoskeleton of a deep black colour. It is of a synthetic material that not only allows for flexibility, but acts as an absorbent to shock that helps to protect the wearer from ballistic weaponry, while new-model heat-sinks are installed throughout to guard against less conventional laser weaponry. As is the case with all exoskeletons, however, there is only so much sustained attack any suit can take. It is designed not for prolonged combat, but for engagements that suit the fast-paced combat style of the Agent.
On top of this slim bodysuit, an expensive and spotless suit is worn. The cleanliness and pristine nature of this uniform often stands out in the environment, and the uniform is standard across all Erasers.

Ezekiel is a man who has been moulded by the world around him. Shaped by what he has seen, and by what he has done, Ezekiel is a callous and relentless operator. Were he anything less - he wouldn't have the job he has. In his line of work as an Eraser he has witnessed death, and he has been death. Such experiences, as has been the case with Ezekiel, will always leave their mark on a man. To those around him, he is reserved, aloof and never fully at-ease.
This was not always the case, however. Indeed, he has undergone quite a transformation from the days of his youth. Once - he was compassionate and warm. The world is not kind to these men, and after a great tragedy shook him to the core, he was never quite the same. His line of work, soon after, became his sole obsession, and gradually shaped him into the man he is today.
Such has been his life for the past thirty years. Yet as he advances in age, recognising that his time at the top of his game is running short, Ezekiel has become somewhat more reflective. He has begun to question how his life could have been were he to follow a different path - and, most concerningly for Ezekiel, he has come to wonder whether figures from his past would recognise the man he has become. Now, more than ever, there is an opportunity of redemption for this lost soul.

EuroCorp
As an 'Eraser', Ezekiel works directly for EuroCorp. It is his job to ensure any potential, large-scale problems for the corporation are properly 'handled'. This can be anything from silencing a whistle-blower, to ensuring an EPA Investigation follows the correct route. For an 'Eraser' - the interests of EuroCorp are their only priority.

In Ezekiel, it is possible to observe the man he once was through his diminishing physique. What were once broad shoulders have atrophied through neglect, a fact that is particularly apparent when he is not in uniform. Once, he stood at a relatively tall 6"2, though his back now arches ever-so-slightly into a default slump that leaves him likely closer to 6"1. Clearly, had you seen the man even five years ago, his athleticism and stamina would have been evident.
His large build remains however, and it is clear the man can still give out a strong punch, and take one, but the combination of alcohol and age has finally taken its toll on his physique. His hair and beard were once likely kept neatly trimmed, though these days appears rugged and unkempt. Shades of grey dominate the hair on his head, with only a few hairs of what was once auburn-brown remaining.
In contrast to this increasingly unkempt appearance, he will often be found wearing pristine suits and outfits without so much as a single crease. It creates an unusual contrast, and displays to the world his grasping attempts to stay focused and dedicated to his job. Yet while the uniform may be perfect, behind that uniform, the man himself, struggles to keep up in this ever-moving world.

Now 52 years of age, Ezekiel was born in 2143. His family were reasonably wealthy, affording spacious accomodation in DST-4. Most of this income came from his mother, who worked in a bureaucratic role for the primary mega-corporation in the region, EuroCorp. His father was something of a failed scientist - constant looking to innovate and become the founder of the latest 'revolution' in hologram technology, an area in which he specialised. Something of a pipe dream, it would turn out, and the family was certainly lucky to have a breadwinner by way of their mother to pay the bills as their father floundered in his study. His early childhood was somewhat unremarkable, however, and despite the occasional arguments over his mothers insistence that their father find a 'real job', it was peaceful, too. On paper, it seemed he was likely to follow a career path similar to that of his mother. He was well-cared for, enjoyed a higher-than-average standard of living, and was plagued by no real troubles during his childhood. Ultimately, however, his path could not have strayed further.
Indeed, as Ezekiel grew into a man, he became frustrated with his closed-off and comfortable lifestyle. As many children do, he wanted to rebel. He wanted to be different from what his parents had expected of him. So it became, then, that he dropped the idea of attending higher education that would set him down the corporate path, and instead applied to join the Europa Policing Authority in the year 2161 not long after his eighteenth birthday. It was fast-paced, dangerous, and entirely the opposite of what his academic parents had envisioned. To Ezekiel, it was perfect. Soon after joining the EPA, whilst on an 'initiation night-out' with a few of his colleagues, he met Emmeline. Petite, beautiful, and smart. She was studying and training to become a veterinarian, as he learned during a lengthy first-conversation during the course of the night, and after several successful follow-up nights out together, they began dating. It was his first serious relationship - but for the two of them, the connection was clear. Both adventurous, fun-loving, and compassionate with a genuine desire to improve the world around them, their personalities complimented one another perfectly. Even his parents came to approve of his joining the EPA, reasoning that he would not have met Emmeline had he otherwise pursued higher education.
Life continued for the happy couple - and in four years they had not only moved in together, but Emmeline had successfully become a Junior Veterinarian, and Ezekiel had been lined-up for promotion to the reputable B-Unit of the EPA by the age of 24. He was a young prospective candidate - handpicked for his effort, but most importantly, his skill. Particularly with sidearm weaponry, Ezekiel had proven his prowess at the gun-range, and on the beat in more than his fair share of dangerous situations. Undoubtedly aiding his selection was the disaster of 2162, which saw masses of android units fall into a murderous frenzy. The event, brutal and disturbing, naturally led to an expansion of the B-Unit team, of which Ezekiel was apart. He would go on to complete a further two years of specialist training, followed by another year shadowing an agent of B-Unit before becoming an official member of the elite team at 27 years old.
Not long after turning 27, though, his life would be rocked by terrible tragedy. Since the successful hack of the Global Mainframe in 2162 that led to the disastrous and bloody events that followed, many hackers had attempted to replicate the hack, albeit on a smaller scale. One such attack would leave Ezekiel forever changed. Enjoying his promotion to B-Unit, and logging extra hours, he responded to a call concerning a suspicious android unit outside Shinzei Veterinarians. Alarmingly for Ezekiel - this was the vet that employed his long-time partner, Emmeline.
By the time he had arrived - there was nothing to be done. The android, sent rogue along with several others across Europa in a seemingly-random small-scale attack, massacred the inhabitants with chilling ease. Recorded footage from the security systems installed showed the unit mercilessly tossing clients against walls, murdering the staff, and exterminating the animals. It was a bloodbath, that had also resulted in the death of two EPA Officers responding to the call, who had arrived before Ezekiel.
The most gruesome and distressing of the events, however, was Ezekiel witnessing his partner and soul-mate, Emmeline, attempt in vain to barricade the door to the operations room near the rear of the building that sheltered her, and several others Witnessing such an event would undoubtedly change any man - and for Ezekiel, his reason for being had extinguished. With the android having shut-down after receiving several bullet-wounds from the two officers before murdering them, he found himself directing his rage at another. The hacker.
Being granted bereavement leave by the EPA - Ezekiel instead used this time to successfully track down, and extract a torturous revenge on the hacker, who turned out to be a 21 year old man ‘developing his cyber-skills’. It was that display that would lead to his recruitment directly by EuroCorp, and he was approached as a potential candidate to become an ‘Eraser’ for the mega-corporation. His acceptance of this offer, while in his state of grief and despair, ultimately changed his path forever. He was given the handle of 'Agent Phoenix', and his life as an Eraser began.
Ezekiel used the work as a means of diverting attention from the tragedy he had witnessed - devoting himself to the work and drinking excessively during his free-time to forget the past. This eventually became habit, and has had considerable consequences on his physique in the present day. For despite having earned his reputation as one of the leading agents of the EuroCorp, one of the most ruthless and effective ‘Erasers’, the prime of Ezekiel has passed.
Now, he finds himself in a downward spiral as the consequences of alcohol and age take their hold on his ailing body.

These two MK4-VAMP ballistic pistols have been with the agent through thick-and-thin, and can be equipped with silencers for operations that require a stealthier approach. Typically, they fire heavier rounds that will certainly leave a mark. On the side of the pistols is a small digital display that handily highlights the number of rounds remaining. A small, but powerful LED Flashlight rests below the muzzle.

Requisitioned specially by EuroCorp from one of the leading manufacturers of laser weaponry, in order to supply their elite agents and operatives of B-Unit, this NODE-MKII laser rifle is particularly effective. Only used by Agent Pheonix in situations such as raids, or operations which have failed the 'quieter' approach, this rifle can reportedly fire six-hundred shots before the battery needs to be changed.

Caelan has been shaped by his family, the Emsworth Clan. To understand Caelan is to understand the history of his family, once a prominent political dynasty in the United Kingdom. They have since fallen into disrepute, however, after an infamous scandal that spread across the tabloids and newspapers of the country like wildfire.
As most political dynasties tend to do, the Emsworth name came into prestige after the successful ambition of one man. The grandfather of Caelan, Henry Emsworth.
Henry
These would be the words that would inspire Henry to pursue a career in politics, and ultimately change the lives of his descendants forever.
In 1964, Henry was born into a typical, working-class family in Liverpool. While they did not struggle for the basic necessities of life, they lacked instead the luxury and pleasures that money can bring. No holidays, no meals out, one birthday present, two for christmas. His father, a bricklayer, and his mother, a beautician, had come themselves from that life of poverty and had worked hard to ensure their children would not suffer as they did. Much like every other set of parents in the world, they wanted a better life for their child, and to their credit, they had given Henry a better life than they themselves had known. No - they did not become millionaires, they weren't especially academic, and they never had grand ambition. But they were honest, hard-working, and driven. These values, more than anything else, were instilled into Henry from a young age.
Henry was the eldest of six children. Four younger sisters, and two brothers, younger still. When he was seven years old he found himself sharing the responsibility for the wellbeing of his siblings with his parents, who were forced to work most days of the week in order to pay rent for their apartment. This was not an apartment that would be recognised by most students of Beverly Hills High School, however. The walls, riddled with damp, were a depressing beige. Four bedrooms housed the eight inhabitants, and one small kitchen area allowed for the preparation of basic meals. The bathroom, if it can be called that, was communal and shared between three floors. The vivid memories of this first home would stay with Henry throughout his life, and if there is one thing he positively attributes to the accomodation, it is that it provided the much-needed inspiration for Henry to improve the circumstances of his life.
The school attended by Henry, the Walsey School for Boys, was not an outstanding one. In fact, it routinely failed to meet the standard set by the National Education Inspectors, and permanently hindered the life-chances of many who attended it. The teachers, though they worked hard and are undoubtedly remembered fondly by the children, were hampered by a lack of resources and a lack of care from the local council. Henry, despite his ambition, his strive to be better, was no exception. He felt disillusioned with the life he had been born into, and his grades suffered as he fell into the dreaded cycle of falling in with the wrong crowds, caused mischeif, and missing school.
On his sixteenth birthday, he left higher education despite the protests of his parents. Indeed, while they tried hard to keep their eldest son on the straight line, they had five other children to look out for. Henry slipped through the net, and was seemingly doomed to remain at his current station in life.
Finding employment as an assistant to a toolmaker by the time he was seventeen, his life fell into a dull repetition. He was, however, finally able to move out and find his own home in 1983, which was no small feat. He would continue to work in the same capacity for the next seven years, living through the era of 'political discontent' with the incumbent Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, who introduced sweeping and deeply unpopular reform that affected, more than anyone, the working-class. It would not be until 1990 that Henry would actively take an interest in politics. John Major, the Conservative Prime Minister sold to the public as a 'working class boy', drew the attention of Henry. Here, he found a man to whom he could relate. A man who had made something more of his life, and was now working to help others improve their lives, too. Henry had long been accustomed to helping the other members of his family, his younger siblings, and the ideals of his hard-working parents had not been entirely lost on him.
Deciding to approach the Conservative Party with an interest to stand as a candidate in 1991, his life story caught their attention. To the political machine, and to a political party often derided as being a 'party for the rich', the possibility of putting forward a strongly working-class candidate who shared their values was an offer too good to refuse. In 1992, Henry got his chance. The election was a great success for the party - and for Henry. At the age of 28, he became an elected Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom.
Now earning a substantial salary, and given the freedom to have accomodation in London paid for by the government, he was thrust into a life he had never known. His first government post came in 1994, as a Minister in the Transport Department. It was during his time in this department that he would meet Laura, a civil servant who would later become his wife.
In 1997 the two were married, and in 1998 they had a son, George Emsworth. George
Caelan
As most political dynasties tend to do, the Emsworth name came into prestige after the successful ambition of one man. The grandfather of Caelan, Henry Emsworth.

"What does the Conservative Party offer a working class kid from Brixton?
They made him Prime Minister."

These would be the words that would inspire Henry to pursue a career in politics, and ultimately change the lives of his descendants forever.
In 1964, Henry was born into a typical, working-class family in Liverpool. While they did not struggle for the basic necessities of life, they lacked instead the luxury and pleasures that money can bring. No holidays, no meals out, one birthday present, two for christmas. His father, a bricklayer, and his mother, a beautician, had come themselves from that life of poverty and had worked hard to ensure their children would not suffer as they did. Much like every other set of parents in the world, they wanted a better life for their child, and to their credit, they had given Henry a better life than they themselves had known. No - they did not become millionaires, they weren't especially academic, and they never had grand ambition. But they were honest, hard-working, and driven. These values, more than anything else, were instilled into Henry from a young age.
Henry was the eldest of six children. Four younger sisters, and two brothers, younger still. When he was seven years old he found himself sharing the responsibility for the wellbeing of his siblings with his parents, who were forced to work most days of the week in order to pay rent for their apartment. This was not an apartment that would be recognised by most students of Beverly Hills High School, however. The walls, riddled with damp, were a depressing beige. Four bedrooms housed the eight inhabitants, and one small kitchen area allowed for the preparation of basic meals. The bathroom, if it can be called that, was communal and shared between three floors. The vivid memories of this first home would stay with Henry throughout his life, and if there is one thing he positively attributes to the accomodation, it is that it provided the much-needed inspiration for Henry to improve the circumstances of his life.
"That home of mine - that childhood horror - it pushed me to be better. I owe it everything, and I owe it to this nation to ensure those slums are a thing of the past."
- Henry Emsworth, in an interview with David Harolds of The Guardian, 2031.

The school attended by Henry, the Walsey School for Boys, was not an outstanding one. In fact, it routinely failed to meet the standard set by the National Education Inspectors, and permanently hindered the life-chances of many who attended it. The teachers, though they worked hard and are undoubtedly remembered fondly by the children, were hampered by a lack of resources and a lack of care from the local council. Henry, despite his ambition, his strive to be better, was no exception. He felt disillusioned with the life he had been born into, and his grades suffered as he fell into the dreaded cycle of falling in with the wrong crowds, caused mischeif, and missing school.

His first government post came in 1994, as a Minister in the Transport Department. It was during his time in this department that he would meet Laura, a civil servant who would later become his wife.
In 1997 the two were married, and in 1998 they had a son, George Emsworth.
When George was born, his father was rising through the ranks of the Conservative Party and was already regarded as one of the 'rising stars'. With the increased status, naturally, came an increased flow of money. This was put to good use, and George was raised in significantly better surroundings than his father. He was born and raised in London, attending a selection of private schools throughout his youth that set him up with the education he needed to succeed in life. By the time he was five, he had a younger brother and sister who would go on to reap the same benefits he had.
For Henry - it could not have been more perfect. Though the Conservative Party, in 2003, was now out of power, he had been using the time to befriend his fellow colleagues from the political class and move his way through the social circles of high-society. Fundraisers, often hosted by wealthy donors, proved a particularly efficient way to meet the power-brokers and most influential businesspersons of British society. At the same time, he had three intelligent children to continue the legacy of the family - something that had now become his obsession. Whether it was the sudden wealth he had found himself in (earned through giving speeches to dinners, advice to think-tanks and public events, all in addition to his base salary), or a progression of his long-held desire to improve the circumstances of his life, Henry's focus now was to create a political dynasty and family legacy that would continue on even after his passing. His three children, George, Harry and Abigail, would help him accomplish that goal.
When George was of age, he attended King's Public Academy in London, where he would recieve education until the age of 18 when he would move to University. During his years at King's, he found a particular skill in the subjects of English, Modern Studies and other essay-based subjects. He had a natural way with words, and as was increasingly evident, a great affinity for public speaking and debating. Becoming captain of his schools debating team at 16, he was occasionally sent across the country to compete in competitions, which they often won. He was a natural prodigy for Henry, who by the time George was 18, had now held several senior cabinet positions in government over the past six years (after the Conservatives finally returned to power in the 2010 General Election). Indeed, the Emsworth family name was already becoming a recognised stable of British politics.
For George however, the next step in his journey was to attend university. George was encouraged to apply for Oxford with his above-average grades, and he did as such, applying to study Political Science at Oxford University. He recieved an unconditional offer some time later, and his studies at Oxford began.
While at the University, he was initiated into the 'Bullingdon Club', an elite and secretive club that was already infamous across Britain for harbouring many future-leaders and senior politicians. While the activities of the club are kept a close secret, it is more-or-less public knowledge that the Bullingdon Boys often host extravagant champagne parties and other such feats of indulgence and luxury. Indeed, with such an upbringing, it is not hard to imagine how he became 'isolated', or accused of 'living in a bubble', disconnected from the real world. In truth, he was. It was hard to appreciate the upbringing his father had struggled through when George himself had not experienced such circumstances, and he soon fell into the stereotype assigned to most of the wealthly elites attending an Oxbridge institution. Henry, for his part, was not interested in revisiting the turmoil of his childhood (excepting, of course, when he needed to gain a higher vote share from the working-class) and so did little to reign in his son. Indeed, when he graduated from Oxford in 2022, he expressed a contempt for the poorest in society, had a poor work-ethic and was certainly spoiled.
After his graduation, George spent two years working for the Conservative Research Department (an organisation widely said to be responsible for rearing future leaders) and it was during this time that he met who would become his future wife, Sophie. She did not work at the same organisation as him, and was not involved in politics in the slightest. Working as a barwoman at a pub called 'The Golden Arms' she and George became involved in a one-night stand in 2024 that led to a longer-term relationship. Incidentally, Caelan would be born later that year and spur the two to marry. By the end of 2024, George was engaged to be married, a father, and tipped to soon become a Member of Parliament for the Conservative Party (something he would achieve in 2025), and still felt no more matured than during his days at the Bullingdon Club of Oxford.
This would have dire consequences for the family. When George finally joined his father in Parliament at the young age of 27 in 2025, he focused his mind on helping his father politically. In doing so, he could effectively remove himself from the worrying thoughts of how he would become a decent father, and a worthy husband. Burying himself in his work to aid his father, Henry had little complaints about the parenting skills of his son as his ambitions to build a political dynasty were increasingly realised.
And now, finally, we come to the story of Caelan Emsworth.

Burying himself in his work to aid his father, Henry had little complaints about the parenting skills of his son as his ambitions to build a political dynasty were increasingly realised.
And now, finally, we come to the story of Caelan Emsworth.
Born on April 4th in the year 2025, the life Caelan was born into could not have been further away from what his grandfather, Henry, had known. By his fourth birthday, Caelan had visited over five countries (it was during a trip to South America when he was four that Caelan developed an early love for nature and wildlife), had nannies attending to his every need and fussing over him and was treated to every luxury and indulgence. There was, however, important difference between the two upbringings. Henry had a father who, at the very least, was constantly working to better the lives of his children. Instead, Caelan had George. Often absent and rarely truly involved in the early childhood of his son, George was instead working with his father (and younger brother when he earned a seat in Parliament in the year 2027) to achieve power. Their dream would be realised when, in 2031, Henry Elmsworth was elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the General Election. It had taken Henry near seventy years, but he had finally reached the top, and what's more he had two sons as elected politicians to carry the family name.
Caelan was only six, but was already becoming accustomed to life in politics. His father now held a senior cabinet post, and his grandfather was the Prime Minister of the country to which he belonged. Indeed, Caelan had no part to play in the story of the Emsworth dynasty. It had been built through the work of his grandfather, father and uncle. It was not to last.
Henry's four years as Prime Minister (2031-2035) were marked by economical downturns, societal divisions, and a country that struggled to make its' mark on the international stage. Corporations, increasingly, held the influence and keys to the global economy, not governments. Henry was a capable politician, however, and was successfully able to maintaining his relatively high approval ratings (54%) with the aid of his charismatic son, George. There is something poetic to the rags-to-riches story, after all, and the public were always keen to hear it. Henry would eventually retire in 2035 at the age of 71, content with the goals he had reached. Now, he took a more active role with his grandchildren and family as they continued onward in their political careers.
For Caelan, during this period, his life was uneventful, but pleasant. He longed for more attention from his father throughout, though eventually reached a resigned acceptance that politics dominated his fathers life, and as George had often implied to him on the few occassions he was available, would eventually dominate Caelan's life also. He attended the same primary and secondary schools as his father, and had always had a particularly close friendship with Aislin, who he met in primary school at the age of 7. When they turned 14, the two would begin dating.
Indeed, Caelan's life continued as any might've expected it would. That was, however, until the Emsworth Election Scandal that would not only separate the Emsworth Clan, but change the course of Caelan's life forever.
In 2041, the General Election was underway. George Emsworth, the newly-chosen charismatic leader of the Conservative Party looked to lead them to a victory as his father did. Indeed, all early polling indicated he would. Through a targetted scheme by Conservative-led councils, George had instructed the councils to introduce extra funding and benefit for marginal seats (areas where Conservative support was uncertain) in order to 'sway' the vote. This, in a nutshell, began the Emsworth Election Scandal. It began with an article in The Guardian, alleging that George Emsworth was effectively bribing voters, and was quickly picked up by the major news organisations. This, alone, may not have derailed the ambitions of George, but it was the stories that followed that quickly destroyed his clean, charismatic image. With the newspapers focusing on the story of George 'bribing' voters and suggesting he was in fact a behind-closed-doors sleaze, it was not long until the anonymous stories were submitted, and gained significant traction. Tales of cocaine-fueled parties, nepotism toward the Emsworth Clan and family friends, and ilicit affairs between George the Westminster staff led to his destruction. The public unanimously turned against him, recognising him as 'another Tory-stooge', and George would go on to lead his party to a disastrous election result. He was forced to resign - with his brother also losing his seat solely for carrying the Emsworth name, and was effectively shunned from politics.
During this, Caelan was 16. He read the news with interest - and distressingly came across more than a few articles detailing the 'accidental' nature of his birth and subsequent marriage between his parents. Caelan, who had so rarely seen his father, became increasingly disgusted by the stories he read of his behaviour. It made sense - George had never had the opportunity to 'mature' or grow-up - but it was nontheless upsetting to come to understand your father through news articles, and not through actual interactions with him. The rest of the family distanced themselves from George - some of them, such as Uncle Harry, still had political ambitions, and they certainly weren't going to achieve those through associationg themselves with George - and Caelan found himself in the center of a scandal that shook his family to the core. His grandfather, Henry, in a particularly cold maneuvre turned his attention to his second-son, Harry, and distanced himself from George in an attempt to preserve his legacy. At his own school, even, Caelan had gone from being the son of a respected politician to the son of 'everything wrong with modern-day politics', and though was still accepted by his own friends, had to endure whispers against his family and the disdainful attitudes towards him from the parents of his schoolmates (who were often politicians themselves). Indeed, in a school filled with ambitious children who wanted to follow in the footsteps of their own parents, it wasn't long until some of his friends took longer to reply to texts and were suddenly often unavailable. Emsworth was a tainted name, and amongst the upper-classes, it's swim or sink. George, his wife and son, had sunk.
Throughout this especially trying time, however, Caelan found the support of his longtime friend, and now girlfriend, Aislin. Despite protests from her own mother, a member of parliament for the Labour Party, she had refused to break off the relationship for the acts of Caelan's father. Together, Caelan knew the situation could not worsen. Naturally, he was not enthusiastic when he got the news from his father, George, that they were moving to America.
In a long discussion with his wife and Caelan, George apologised for his absence, attempted to explain his actions and, ultimately, expressed a wish to reconcile. Sophie, eager to leave the past behind her, was only too keen to accept this. Caelan, however, was enraged. His father, not content with destroying the reputation of their family and isolating him at school, now wanted to remove him from the one person he actually cared about, and move him to an entirely new country. It was true, the Americans probably wouldn't think twice about the Emsworth name, but was it worth it? No - not in Caelan's mind. Unfortunately for him, however, he had no say. And so, in 2042, he was dragged to America with his mother and father.
Arriving at their new home, Caelan was soon enrolled into the 2042-2043 school year at Bevery Hills High School. He'd heard stories of the school. After what he'd been through, it was the last place he wanted to be. Caelan wanted to be separate from the elite-class and wealthy, he wanted to be seen as his own person, as something more than the scandal of his surname. This was not the place to do that. It's going to be a hard year.
Now finding himself in a country about which he knows little, surrounded by peers he almost certainly does not know, Caelan longs to return home and dissapear. If the 'Emsworth Scandal' has taught him one thing, it is that he wants no part in the sort of life led by his father. When he was asked by his new school, Beverly Hills High School, what his interests were and what electives he would be interested in, Caelan took the opportunity to pursue his childhood love for animals and the environment. Then - when he returns home, he can attend University with Aislin, and go on to work across the globe on a variety of research projects in the animal kingdom. All the while, he'll lead a happy, humble (and most importantly, invisible to the wider public), life with Aislin.
That's the plan, anyway. But since when do plans ever work out?

Storyline Premise
Dating back to the First Men, House Lannister has a long and complex history covering thousands of years. Throughout this period they have remained the overlords of the Westerlands, thanks to their financial status as the wealthiest house in Westeros and their ability to command respect and loyalty from their vassals - severely handling those who step out of line. With the War of the Five Kings and subsequent battle against Daenerys Targaryen still fresh in Lannister memory, they have barely managed to hold on to power. Their armies decimated during the wars, they can field perhaps 25’000-35’000 men, a ways off their historic strength of 50’000.

Lord Cerion Banefort, a blunt man often considered uncouth. Middle-aged at four-and-forty. Loyal to a fault.
Lord Addam Brax, brother-in-law to Lord Tytos and trusted advisor.
Lord Damon Crakehall, a simple man much-loved by the common-folk. A once skilled warrior, though now getting on in his years and seven-and-sixty.
Lady Jeyne Estren, one of the few ladies of the Westerlands. Strong-willed and vocal with her opinions. Unmarried at the age of two-and-twenty.
Lord Garth Farman, an experienced lord with close ties to House Banefort. Disapproving of the Lannister-Greyjoy union.
Lord Gylbert Greenfield, a young lord of four-and-ten. Idolises Loreon Lannister, and takes more interest in swordplay than rulership.

Lord Kevan Swyft, a lord loyal to House Lannister. His daughter, Alicent, is wed to Tyran Lannister, the second son of Lord Tytos.
Recent History
The years immediately following the ascension of Daenerys Targaryen were not kind to House Lannister. The actions of Cersei, and to a smaller extent Tywin, had tarnished their reputation across the Seven Kingdoms - and their armies were extinguished after years of brutal fighting against their enemies. It was only through Tyrion Lannister, the unsightly dwarf dismissed by his family, that the house survived.
Serving as her first Master of Coin, alongside other advisers on the Small Council he had come to befriend such as Barristan Selmy and Lord Varys, Tyrion managed the dwindling treasury and growing debt of Westeros in a notably proficient manner, once again demonstrating his skill at managing coin - as he had done once before, under a different ruler. In addition, he ensured the North received appropriate financial support to aid the rebuilding effort, though this cause would gradually lose support south of the neck after his death. However, managing the economy of a realm in such a dire financial state naturally required as much of his attention as could be spared, and so it was not until six years after his return to Westeros, in 306AC, that Tyrion would finally marry.
The match itself, a purely political one to the prominent house of Lydden in the Westerlands, was not especially loving. Tyrion, ever haunted by his past, would prove to become something of an absentee husband and, eventually, father - when nine months after their wedding night Leana Lydden gave birth to the sole son and heir of Tyrion Lannister, Gerion.
Returning to Casterly Rock, a rare event in and of itself, Tyrion was not especially moved by fatherhood. His own experiences with Tywin continually playing on his mind, he found remaining in Casterly Rock to be uncomfortable, and certainly had no sense of home there. It was inevitable that he would eventually return to King’s Landing to continue his work as Master of Coin, and return he did in the year 307AC. He would not return to Casterly Rock before the end of his days, and would not live to see his son's ninth birthday.
Gerion, meanwhile, continued to be raised in the ancestral home of Casterly Rock, where he grew into his role of Tyrion’s heir. He could perhaps best be described as a product of circumstance, acutely aware of the precarious position House Lannister found itself in. His mother came to play a key role in overseeing his education - and while he was never especially talented with a blade, he inherited his father’s talent at handling courtiers and court-politics. When Tyrion passed in 316AC, Gerion was still a boy of only eight years, soon to turn nine. His mother became Lady Regent of the Westerlands, and over the course of the next few years, Gerion would be surrounded by advisors with differing intentions.

Attributes & Talents
Ambitious
Inherited from his father, Tytos has great plans for the future of House Lannister, bitter over their current reputation and what he perceives as a lack of warranted respect. Currently in a growing position of strength, Tytos continues to manoeuvre House Lannister and the Westerlands for the future - and he will not be satisfied until he has won the ultimate prize. The Iron Throne.
Envious
Tytos desires the respect that House Lannister used to command, and covets the standing that is now afforded to houses such as Baratheon. It is this envy and need to restore House Lannister to former glory that drives his ambition, and has fundamentally shaped him as both Lord of Casterly Rock and as a man.
Groomed for Lordship
The firstborn son of Gerion Lannister, the late Lord of Casterly Rock, Tytos has always been prepared for rulership of the Westerlands. He is competent in this regard, and can manage his realm well - with a particular talent for overseeing the ever-growing economy of the Westerlands, backed by the gold-mines that continue to run deep. He is the Lannister that brings the family together, uniting them under his vision for the future.
Quick
Matching his ambition, Tytos has the mind to see the bigger picture and adapt as the situation evolves. It is a dangerously efficient combination, and there will undoubtedly be plenty of opportunities in the near-future for Tytos to use this intelligence for his benefit.
Deceitful and Cynical
Tytos will betray his allies when the time calls for it, and serves noone but himself, and House Lannister. He will say and do what needs to be done in the present, but there is no telling how he will act in the future when the situation inevitably changes. Similarly, Tytos expects the worst from those around him and trusts few - always preparing himself for scenarios in which his allies turn against him. It is a world of kill or be killed, and this is a fact Tytos is more than acquainted with.
Ruthless
There is nothing Tytos will not do to achieve his own goal and ambition. He can be cruel, arbitrary and ruthless - but not unnecessarily so. Everything is measured, and for a purpose.

Attributes & Talents
Attractive
Conventionally attractive, as so many of House Lannister have been before him, his well-defined jawline and hair of golden blonde makes him a fantasy of no-doubt many ladies across Westeros. His looks are not something Loreon often concerns himself with, but with a name as tarnished as that of House Lannister, every little helps - and being attractive certainly helps with his reputation.
Strategist
Something of an emerging talent, Loreon has had little opportunity to truly evidence his skill in commanding troops on the battlefield. With still much to learn, however, it is possible that the coming years will provide Loreon with the experience he needs to develop as a commander, as well as a fighter.
Formidable Fighter and Duelist
Renowned across the realm for his martial skill, Loreon has quickly developed a name for himself as one of the more skilled combatants in the Seven Kingdoms. He has seen great success at many tournaments and melees across Westeros, with rivals from all corners of the kingdoms itching for the opportunity to face him, and try their hand at the glory that would undoubtedly await should they manage to best him. Despite this indisputable skill however, Loreon is yet to partake in true combat outside of tournaments, and no doubt many in the older generations are quick to dismiss him as a knight of the summer, playing rather than fighting. This is something he looks to change. He wields Oathkeeper.
Affectionate
Loreon is deeply in love with a commoner from the Reach, named Elyana. To her, he displays a side that few have the opportunity to see, for the Lannister name carries more than one negative connotation. Indeed, his affection for Elyana and his behaviour with her shows that there is, simply, a good heart within Loreon. He would go to the ends of the world for her - and by the same coin, will allow no harm to befall her. Elyana is his world, and he has made few other true friends. Every moment is spent thinking of her, and of returning to her.
Content
Loreon does not desire the Lordship of Casterly Rock. He is immature in this regard, and is instead only focused on winning tournaments and spending time with the love of his life. This has been the cause of much friction with his father, Tytos.
Kind
Not something expected from a Lannister, is kindness. Indeed, to most of the realm, Loreon likely comes across as aloof and typical of an heir to the wealthiest house in Westeros. He has done little to quell this reputation, with his ambivalence towards making new connections and friends no doubt playing a part in his perceived aloofness. Yet those few who do know him well, know that he possesses a good heart much unlike his father’s. Whether or not the wider circles of Westeros will ever come to learn this for themselves, however, is a different matter entirely.
Wroth & Proud
Quick to anger and respond to confrontation, which tends to be a regular occurance with the reputation of House Lannister, he has become known for his bad temper. It is more than fair to say that the wider perception of Loreon across the Seven Kingdoms is not a pleasant one. Seen as aloof, and with a bad temper, he has betrayed his true nature and good soul by his lack of effort to make lasting relationships and friendships. Only in the small circle of his close confidants is his actual nature known.
Journeying
Having fallen foul of his father, Tytos, he has not been in the Westerlands for more than a month at a time for at least five years. Instead, he travels the seven kingdoms attending tournaments and melees. Recently, he has been spending a good deal of time in and around Highgarden.
Skilled Rider
Perhaps natural for a man who spends a great deal of time in tournaments and jousts, Loreon has become a talented rider.

Personal Relations
Elyana
The single-most important thing in his life, Loreon cannot picture his existence without her. The pair have been together for almost a decade, first meeting when Loreon was at the young age of six-and-ten, and she five-and-ten. They are inseparable, much to the chagrin of Lord Tytos, and Loreon has rebuffed attempts by his father to match him with a suitable noblewoman. The future for these two lovers is unclear, having discussed leaving Westeros for Essos, marrying in secret - and a multitude of other scenarios. Whatever the case, however, their ambition to remain together will not be an easy one, and with war on the horizon of Westeros, their happily-ever-after may become nothing more than fantasy.
Willam Payne
Childhood friends, Willam and Loreon grew close over the formers frequent visits to Casterly Rock in their early years. The pair enjoyed sparring together, finding few others in their age group to compete with at the same level of skill, and grew close through this common talent. Willam knows the side to Loreon that few see, and has been aware of his romance with Elyana from the beginning. Since the fallout with his father, Loreon often chooses to stay at Payne Hall over Casterly Rock on his infrequent returns to the Westerlands, with Willam having served as the Lord of Payne Hall for the past three years. Though their meetings are less-frequent, their bond remains strong as ever, and Loreon views Willam as nothing less than a brother.
Tytos Lannister
On especially poor terms, Loreon has not spoken to his father for almost a year and has no desire to change this fact. By Tytos, Loreon is seen as immature and unready to succeed him as Lord of Casterly Rock, with many past arguments especially centered around his current love for a commoner. There is no mend to this relationship in sight, and it will undoubtedly spell trouble for the near-future of House Lannister.
Axel Baratheon
Though the two have never been especially antagonistic toward one another, the natural relations between Houses Lannister and Baratheon have always placed the pair on opposite footing. The incident with Brus has done little to improve their impressions of one another, and they keep their distance where possible. Loreon does not have much of a formed opinion of Axel beyond this.
Brus Baratheon
Both attending tournaments across the Seven Kingdoms, it was inevitable that the two would eventually come face to face. With Loreon’s short temper, and Brus’ eagerness to taunt his foes (and in particular, Lannisters), it is perhaps no surprise that the two came to blows over a comment made by Brus toward Elyana. Loreon left him with a permanent mark to remember the encounter, and the relation between the two has been vicious ever since. Time will tell whether their old wounds are healed, or made worse by the passage of time.
Lyanna Baratheon
Something of an unlikely friendship was fostered between the two when they met in Dorne for a short time. Approaching Loreon, she was uncharacteristically kind for a Baratheon in her attempts to get to know and spend time with him. Not having been in contact for a number of years though, and notably not since the incident with Brus, it is uncertain where they stand with one another, though Loreon continues to have a good impression of Lyanna.
Mychel Mudd
Loreon has met the heir to Harrenhal only briefly at one or two tourneys across the realm. Still, he sees something of a younger version of himself in the boy, who has made for more than one entertaining watch in the lists. Evidently a growing talent, Loreon is curious to see what the future will hold for this boy.
Tygett Lannister
More acceptable than his father, Loreon has seen much of Tygett due to his frequent stays at Highgarden and trips around the Reach. The pair do not especially get along, but instead leave one another to their own devices, which is likely appreciated by both.

Elusive Shadow
The Master of Whisperers for Queen Daenerys Targaryen, Tybolt has mastered the art of dealings in the shadows. His network of spies and informants runs deep, embedded within the very fabric of the Seven Kingdoms as well as the Free Cities of Essos. As secretive as one would expect, Tybolt keeps his cards close to his chest - and his true loyalty is never quite known, until it is too late. For even Tytos, the one man who should be able to trust Tybolt, there is an air of unease around their dealings.
Schemer
With his eyes and ears spread across the Seven Kingdoms and beyond, Tybolt is constantly planning - locked away in his studies and scrolls. Indeed, he is rarely seen outside of Small Council meetings, which only adds to the level of ambiguity and secrecy surrounding him.
Torturer
Something of an enthusiast in the arts of extracting information, Tybolt has dedicated a fair amount of time to studying the art. He is a keen hobbyist of alchemy, also, and has great mountains of books and papers describing the effects of various poisons and toxins.
Shrewd
An essential talent for any man of politics, and especially spymaster, is the ability to read a room - and Tybolt is a natural. He has solid powers of judgement, and is calculated in his moves to allow for little possibility of error.
