Ulder

Septon Ulder is a male clergy of the Faith of the Seven. He served as an advisor to King Aegon II Targaryen and the rest of his family during his reign.
==Biography==
===Background===
Ulder was born in the Iron Islands in 94 AC. It has been speculated he could be a Greyjoy of some kind, though he has shed his family name in order to serve the Faith- Ulder denies these rumours. Sometime during 112, he realized he wished to become a Septon, and had to leave Pyke to pursue the Faith, since Septons and Septas were banished from the Iron Islands.
===House of the Dragon: Season 1===
Brought in by Ser Otto Hightower before Aegon II was coronated, and just before the previous king, Viserys Targaryen, passed, Ulder moved into the Red Keep to serve as an advisor of the Seven. His purpose was to provide religious support to the Targaryens and the Hightowers , in addition to other members of Team Green. 
Though he was assigned to be Aegon's advisor, he spent more of his time advising Queen Mother Alicent Hightower than anybody else. After learning of what Aegon did to his maid, Dyana, Alicent went seeking the advice of the Seven. She found herself in Ulder's chambers after dark, expressing she was worried for her children because of what they have done. Ulder assured her that if forgiveness is asked for, it will be granted. When she specified her fear for her son Aegon's actions, Ulder, surprised but committed to providing guidance, said that anybody can be washed of their sins so long as they commit to serving the Seven, pleading with the Mother, and bettering themselves.
After Aegon's coronation, he and Alicent prayed together for a reign free of sin, deterrence, or war. However, they both knew it was unlikely, considering others like Rhaenyra and Rhaenys Targaryen, who protested the King's claim. Ulder promised to Alicent that he would be with her and her family through every hardship, ready to speak the word of the gods when needed.
==Physical Description==
Ulder is a tall man, with slightly tanned skin and black hair. He has deep brown eyes, and a structured jaw with sunken cheeks. When he smiles and speaks, he has large and very noticeable lines on around his mouth. He often wears rings on his hands, alternating between black and green colours- he began to wear a green ring after he became a religious advisor to the King.
He is slender with long limbs. He has a unique look as a whole.
==Personality and Traits==
Having dedicated his life to the faith, his driving purpose is that he must serve the Gods. He is a very level-headed man, and it is rare for him to show any emotion to the general public. He tries not to let his own personal feelings interfere with his actions, therefore he suppresses them most times. 
He is very secretive about his life before becoming a Septon, and hardly talks about his time in the Iron Islands or the family that he left behind. There is very little information on his past, and he does what he can to keep it that way.
==Relationships==
===Alicent Hightower===
Septon Ulder is the person that Alicent turns to for guidance. He spends a majority of his time in the Red Keep with her, but not for personal reasons. As she continues to visit him, however, Ulder feels a growing fondness towards the Queen Mother. He is unsure of if they are genuine or just a product of how much they are with each other- either way, he stays silent about this and prays to the Gods, who he knows must be testing him.
===Otto Hightower===
Otto brings in Ulder from a group of Septons to provide guidance to the royal family. He assumed Ulder would be a good mind for helping Viserys, but after Viserys passed, he thought Ulder could help his grandson too. The two are very cordial with each other.
===Aegon II Targaryen===
Ulder serves as the religious advisor to King Aegon II. Though Aegon does not always listen to what the Seven communicates through Ulder, he holds no resentment towards the king, as there is no ill-will in his own heart.
