Barthar Rowan

== Appearance and Character ==
Barthar Rowan is the firstborn son of Elras Rowan, Lord of Penrith. Born in later 1,316 he was named as heir of Penrith and eventually becomes the acting lord of Penrith. 
Ever since he was a little boy Barthar has had a curious mind, While other children played with mud and sticks in fields, he sat in the Penrith Library studying many different topics. He always loved the mythical tales of Dragons, of the ancient times of old, Of creatures beyond the sea, of the sea itself. These stories captured his imagination. When he had dreams, they were vivid. He dreamt of great war machines, inventions that no man has ever seen before and so many other things. Others called it Lucid dreaming. He called it his calling.
He loved his family, He really did. He loved knowledge too. Learning new things. These two things were what made up who he was. These things often came up fighting against each other. Just when one side appeared to win, the other fought back, harder and stronger than before.
He often was regarded to possibly be charismatic and smart enough to properly end the rift between House Rowan and House Vass however with time he would grow to hate the Vass family just as his entire family does.
He began his studies at the Academy at the age of nine right before the War of Three Dragons. He knew that the only place where he could learn as much as he wanted was in the Academy. There was no other way, but he never agreed with the other teachings of the order of Maesters. He had an easy going face which the women loved, and he knew it well.
He managed to convince the Archmaester to allow him to travel home to Penrith once a year. This journey allowed him to indulge in pleasures that the Academy does not allow. But even without these pleasures he loved visiting Penrith. He loved the warm springs, He loved his family and he just loved the Stormcrown.
But his studies were also important to him. In his first year at the Academy he managed to forge his first link. It was made of Platinum. It was to be many years before he of became a Maester. Although it was not meant to be, he quickly grew bored of the constant rules of the Academy and plus he was the heir to Penrith the heir could not become a maester as the rules contradict one another. So he returned back to Penrith and quickly found a wife named Tavoqi who he loves dearly.
Barthar has short darkish hair, He is average in both build and height. He used to wear his hair tied behind his head in a Pony Tail but in current times he does not have enough hair to do such. He has a small scar on the left of his chest the size and the look of an arrow head shaving past, It came from an accident while working on a metal invention at the academy.
There was always something with him and Alchemy, Be it simple medicines to help for certain ailments, to more complicated potions and.. poisons. He could always learn more at the Academy but for now that is no longer his calling.
