Rolly Duckfield

Ser Rolly Duckfield, often known as Duck, is an anointed knight in service to Young Griff.
== Appearance and Character ==
Rolly is brawny. He has a shaggy beard and a shock of orange hair. 
== History ==
Rolly's father was the blacksmith at Bitterbridge, and was in service to Lord Caswell. Rolly's strength and skill with a blade earned him a place amongst the castle garrison, though he harboured dreams of knighthood. He resented seeing Lord Caswell's weakling son, Lorent, becoming a page, a squire, and then a knight. As Lorent was the heir to Bitterbridge he was treated with respect by all of the squires, who barely touched him in the training yard. 
On his sixteenth nameday, Rolly's father made him a longsword as a present, but when Lorent saw it he claimed it as his own, saying Rolly was more fit to wield a hammer than a sword. After this, Rolly fetched a hammer and used it to break both of Lorent's arms, and many of his ribs, before fleeing across the Narrow Sea. He joined the Golden Company, first as an apprentice blacksmith, and then as a squire to Harry Strickland, the Captain-General of the Golden Company.
When Griff required somebody to train Young Griff in the art of the sword, Harry sent him Rolly. A year after this, Griff knighted Rolly who, lacking any second name, took the name Duckfield, as he was in a field with some ducks when he was knighted.
