Edmyn Tully

Edmyn Tully is the heir to Riverrun he is married to Jaehaera Targaryen and has two twins Aelinor and Aerys with her

## Appearance and Character

Edmyn looks every bit a Tully, with his auburn hair and fair skin. While he isn't particularly tall, his shoulders are large, his arms are strong, and his hands are quick. He was raised to rule, and as such is confident, arrogant, diligent, and ever caring for the needs of his family and vassals.

These traits, when appearing in moderation, make him a good friend, and a reliable person to have around. Edmyn can be prone to excesses, however, something that has caused him to act extremelly recklessly on many occasions, perhaps out of a belief that he is invincible and cannot fail.

## History

The firstborn son of Tommard Tully and Hariette Bracken, Edmyn grew up expecting to rule the Riverlands - and as such, no expenses were spared with his upbringing. The young Tully would always get the best clothes, the best horses, the best tutors - chief among them a man from Braavos who taught him how to use a rapier with deadly precision.

## Edmyn Tully

It was all very good, and it was all very sheltered. As a result, Edmyn grew bored quite soon, and started looking for other, more exciting things to do. When he was young, that came in the form of climbing the castle's ramparts, and exploring every tower, every nook and cranny that Riverrun had to offer. That, coupled with his martial training, made Edmyn grow strong, and much more agile than the average boy of his age.

Outside of physical pursuits, the young trout also found that he had a facility with controlling his expressions. When Edmyn wanted to lie, few could tell he was doing so, even those closest to him. It was good fun, and Edmyn decided to take his natural ability one step further, spending hours looking upon the mirror, analyzing his expressions and trying to replicate them in his day to day life, until he gained almost complete control of whatever image he wanted his face to portray.

That was only the beginning, however: he soon began to study others, especially the household guards of Riverrun, and copy their mannerisms, their expressions. To take it a step further, he also began acquiring many different kinds of tints and articles of clothing, so he could use them to wear whatever his target tended to wear, and use the tints to make his face to match more with whoever he was copying.

Changing his voice was what took the longest, and it had been hard to find a secluded space where he could practice without anyone else hearing him, but eventually, Edmyn had learned how to mimic about anyone - in body language, voice, and appearance.

He used his newfound skills to pose as servants, squires, and guards along the castle, often eavesdropping on people having private conversations (and on a couple of occasions even having a few private conversations of his own, while pretending to be someone else), having drinks at taverns where his targets were well known, and adding the expenses to their tab, just for the hell of it, and many other things of a similar nature.

It was all very fun for a while, until Edmyn grew bored again.

That was when he started venturing along the streets of Riverrun, dressed as a commoner, and meeting some of the less well off and more desperate personalities the seat of House Tully had to offer. He did a few petty crimes with them, most of which involved picking other people's pockets and other similar pursuits. After about a year of this, Edmyn revealed his identity as a Tully to a few select criminals he knew he could trust, and they became his eyes and ears throughout the Riverlands.

Soon after, he was knighted, and the Rosegold Rebellion broke out - a conflict that he had yearned to participate in, but was unable to due to the marriage ties between House Tully and House Lannister. When the war was over, Jaehaera Targaryen became his wife, much to his liking, and she soon birthed him a set of twins, a boy and a girl: Aelinor and Aerys Tully. The twins were vastly different in appearance, Aelinor has the red hair of the Tullys while Aerys bore the platinum blonde hair and purple eyes of his mother.

## Recent Events

### Taking Charge

As fate would have it, a rebellion led by a Prophet who followed the Old Gods broke out near Harrenhal, and with both Tommard and Agnes Tully busy in King's Landing, Edmyn was the one in charge of bringing the rebellion down. He mustered an army, had some smallfolk tortured for information, and eventually found out that the insurgents were hiding in the Isle of Faces. Galladon Strong was sent to negotiate, along with Edmyn's younger brother, Raymund Tully.

The matter was settled in a Trial by Combat between Raymund and Jason the Grave, with Raymund coming out victorious, causing the rebellion to end without further loss of life.

### Aggressive Investigations

The spies Edmyn had in his pockets revealed interesting findings from caravans going from the North to the Riverlands: many seemed to be taking the route to Harrenhal, stopping dangerously close to the Isle of Faces. He couldn't be certain if these caravans were supplying the rebels or not, however: not without taking a closer look.

So Edmyn took his brother, Raymund, once again, as well as Accalon Vance and a small number of knights that he could trust, to pose as bandits and raid one of the caravans. The gamble paid off, and Edmyn was not only able to bring a lot of goods for free to Riverrun, but also took note of how many of the items were unnacounted for in the caravan master's log. All seemed to suggest that some individuals from the North were indeed funding the rebellion - even if the majority of the insurgents had already disbanded.

### Driving the Point Home

While the information he'd acquired was enough to convince him, Edmyn had to convince the other Lords of the region that the threat was to be taken seriously - and for that, he hatched a scheme to hire Unella of Dorne to kidnap his own grandmother, Agnes when she was on her way back from King's Landing, and make it look like nobles from the North were the ones to blame.

The plot worked, had the desired effect: House Tully felt outraged at such a bold move, and ravens were sent to all Bannermen of the region, to meet in Riverrun. The seeds of conflict were planted. All Edmyn had to was reap what he'd sown.
