Vernan Seronyth I

Ser Vernan Seronyth I was a knight of the Midlands and the second son of Lord Conrian Seronyth and Lady Monira Seronyth he defended the Lordship of House Seronyth for some time until being injured enough to stop fighting in the war. Since then he has gained a lot of weight and got far more apt at politicking. He is still known as a bold and effective commander.
== Appearance and Character ==
Ser Vernan was once a lean man turned heavy with deep brown hair and brown eyes, typical of Midlanders. Those who knew his father as a younger man swear that he was cast in the same forge, as they appeared very similar. While not considered especially handsome he has an intense bearing which many find compelling. He prefers to wear the practical leathers of an outdoorsman when at all possible, but when the occasion calls for it he wears a white doublet lined with golden marten fur, and a gold chain set with moonstones.
Ser Vernan appears at first to be a very serious and perhaps even dour man, but he can demonstrate flashes of humor and warmth that win over men and women alike. His faith is strong, but he lacks the stuffiness and pomposity of a Septon. He takes his knightly vows seriously even after he has stopped fighting and is much respected by the smallfolk of his domain.
He was wed to Aurkia Seronyth in the middle of the war to harken better relations with the small minor house that had many different grains which was severely needed in the Blacks armada. He was wed to Aurkia, and after such it has bore them two children a son and a daughter but it doesn't seem that the couple is that close and can often be seen fighting amongst each other even in front of their kids.
By the time the War of Three Dragons began Vernan had taken command of the Sunglass battalion, and had cut his teeth patrolling the shores of Hadran Bay to deter brigands from the coastal road. He had also seen a tour of duty on the Jeweled Sea, alongside the greater fleets of Lakoran and the Pirates that allied with the Blacks. With a naval war brewing he saw his chance to achieve some glory and eagerly added his ships to King Maegaron's armada. He was tested many times, as both a captain of men and as a fighter, but found that he thrived on a ship at war. His greatest challenge came when he faced Thoridor the Wicked, one of Maenyx Mullyn's most feared captains. After a grueling naval engagement Vernan's ship was boarded by Thoridor's men, but Vernan was able to turn the tide and slew Thoridor in single combat but not before getting stabbed multiple times that would end his fighting days. For this feat at arms he was awarded great honors and a seat at Maegaron's Small Council, a leader he greatly admired. He returned home to a hero's welcome and the great relief of his lady mother.
