Orwin Lothston

Orwin Lothston is a magic practitioner and ally to Rhaenyra Targaryen. He and his twin brother, Orwold, hail from the Riverlands and hold the seat of Harrenhal. 
==Biography==
===Background===
Orwin and his brother were both born in 107 AC. As a child, Orwin remained mostly separated from the magic much of his family would use. He had no interest in becoming a magic user, and spent his early days dreaming of ships instead.
At age 15, when his brother pushed him to take up the black arts, Orwin finally gave him. He found himself to be very skilled very quickly, and as the years passed he began to favour the practice of bathing in blood preserve his heath, looks, and youth.
The twin brothers came to King’s Landing during the later years of King Viserys I Targaryen’s reign.
===House of the Dragon: Season 1===
Orwin is informed by his brother, Orwold, that Prince Daemon Targaryen has requested their magical assistance should it be needed in the war for succession looming over the Targaryen's heads. Eager to use his powers for a higher purpose, Orwin is overjoyed. The brothers make a toast with a thick red wine of their own creation.
After Viserys Targaryen dies, Orwold tells Orwin that Daemon has asked for them to come to Dragonstone. He is excited at the prospect. He has a small boat prepared for their departure. Suspecting they could be in Dragonstone for quite a while, Orwin collects not only their personal belongings, but also jars and vials filled with blood, plus several bottles of their self-made wine and has them placed on the boat to bring along.
When the twins arrive at Dragonstone, they are greeted by Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen. Orwin bows his head and acknowledges Rhaenyra as the new Queen. He seems to find Daemon's presence slightly intimidating, but bows to him all the same. He thanks them for their consideration of he and his brother's powers. The two are brought up to their chambers. The vials of blood brought over on the ship are noted to Daemon and Rhaenyra.
Orwin has a brief conversation with Rhaenyra about the nature of he and his brother's magic. Rhaenyra seems interested at the prospect, but questions what sort of blood they use. Orwin does not disclose whether it is creature or human blood. He tells Rhaenyra that if conflict between her side and Aegon II's, the half-brother of Rhaenyra and other possible heir to the throne, side ensues, dragons can bring the fire, and he and his brother can bring the blood.
When Aegon II Targaryen is crowned as king, Orwin and Orwold drink their wine to his misfortune.
==Physical Description==
Orwin has short, slightly shaggy black hair, with pale skin that contrasts it's darkness. He has blue eyes and pale pink lips. Though he was the same features as his brother, the difference in style and haircut makes him look more delicate or younger in some cases.
Orwin often wears simple clothing in black, grey, or beige colours. Though he is not a knight, Orwin sometimes like to dress in armour.
==Personality and Traits==
Much more reserved than his brother, Orwin practically only speaks when spoken to, except for with his twin. When it comes to magic, though, he gets more confident. He also gains a slight ego boost from being asked to help Team Black. He is relatively cordial, almost kind, and would not typically be the type of person one would assume is versed in the dark arts. In regards to his powers, he often bathes in blood to maintain himself. He consumes blood semi-regularly, often times by drinking with his brother, but he prefers not to go as far as to eat flesh.
Orwin was easily influenced by his twin when they were younger, but as he grew into his own powers, he became largely his own person. He does, however, still let Orwold take the lead more often than he does. Different from how it was in their childhood, Orwin is typically the one to carefully collect blood for him and his brother, while Orwold is more spontaneous.
==Relationships==
===Family===
====Orwold Lothston====
Orwold is Orwin's twin brother. The two are incredibly close, and do not like to be separated. Orwold used to influence many of Orwin's actions, but as Orwin grew this faded away. The two have speculated that Orwin has grown more powerful than Orwold, despite him being behind a few years on experience. There is no rivalry between the twins because of this- with their powers combined, they tend to be equally as powerful anyways.
===Allies===
====Rhaenyra Targaryen====
Orwin became one of the magic practitioners for Rhaenyra Targaryen, along with his brother. The two of them have a very professional relationship, though it does seem they are more friendly with each other than those relationships typically are.
====Daemon Targaryen====
Orwin tends to keep his distance from Daemon- not because he particularly dislikes him, but simply because he is slightly intimidated, considering Daemon's reputation. They only interact in regards to matters of magic, and there is nothing personal between them.
