== Appearance and Character ==
Tor Pellinore is a heavy featured fellow, brown of hair and blue of eye. He is a man unused to his own status, having never truly expected to be the Lord of his house, let alone Royalty. 
Once quite prominent among his vices, his manner among women is often quite blunt and vulgar, and rumors circulate of his less than austere sexual escapades. He has toned down somewhat since his marriage, but is still by no means without faultys. He is also somewhat of a hedonist when it comes to food and drink as well, sparing no expense on an evening of revelry.
He is not all flaws of character though. He is an able warrior, and demonstrably talented commander. He is willing to take an active personal hand in seeing to the needs of his people, and will proudly take up a quest in the name of another lord's honor or well being.
Since the Disaster that fell upon his house, he has converted to the Guiding Light of R'hllor. He is not especially pious, but does offer genuine heed to the Temple.
== History ==
House Pellinore has formerly been known as a loyal House to King Justman of the Riverlands. It former times, it had always been reasonably prosperous, owning holdings located such that they enjoyed healthy trade tariffs from ships hauling cargo along the west coast of Westeros, seeing plenty of local traders from riverrun. However, after years of bloodshed protecting the Riverlands from their holdings on a borderland fief, the house has been in drastic decline. As it stands, Tor Pellinore remains as the last living legitimate heir of house Pellinore.
The House was all but wiped out while Tor carried his family banner elsewhere in the name of their king, the House of Blacktyde raiding the settlement and storming the keep, resulting in the death of his Father Percival, elder brother Dornar (the true heir of house Pellinore) and the majority of his family and retainers.
