## Biography

*Harrion Santagar, Lord of Spottswood*

*Transcribed by Maester Orwen of Spottswood in his personal diary*

Harrion was born in 332 AC. A quiet babe, Harrion gave little issue
during birth and hardly cried which was rather queer. His mother was
quite worried, but I assured here that it is not entirely abnormal.
Unfortunately, her fears might have been realized later on, but I
digress. Brown of hair and brown of eye, Harrion had the look of his
father with strong Dornish features. The child grew quiet, but healthy,
and that was satisfactory to Lord Damian.

I thought the lad as rather erudite and bookish during his childhood,
 but Lord Damian was determined to make a Knight out of the lad and sent
 him to squire with his good friend, Lord Beric Wylde of Rain House. My
correspondence with the Maester of Rain House inquiring about the boy
proved rather worrying. He spoke of the lad resenting work with the
sword and spending most of his time with *less-than-desirable*
folk. He claimed that the lad would form intricate plots with some of
the other squires to carry out pranks on various courtiers and their
belongings **(Sabotage)**. The Maester also claimed that
they could pull no wool over the lad's eyes as young Harrion would
almost always discover the answers he sought **(Investigator)**.
 The most worrying claim, however, was when the Maester said he found
young Harrion brutally tormenting one of the small-folk after the lad
had stolen one of Harrion's belongings. **(Torturer)**. At
the time, I scoffed a disregarded his claims. Surely the quiet youth I
sent to Rain House was simply misunderstood by this foolish Stormlander
Maester. At his behest, I sent for the lad to return so that he may
squire under his own Lord Father.

Things seemed normal for several years once Harrion returned. The
Lady Santagar had died delivering Harrion's younger brother she named
Steffon, but the return of Harrion was good for the spirits of the
House. He was a young lad of five-and-ten. Still quiet, but ferociously
intelligent, Harrion caused little concern. His father's drinking habits
 seemed to worsen at the return of his son, and his eldest, Jason, was
quite relentless in his jests towards the young Harrion. I would have to
 speak to young Jason several times as his jests would often turn sour,
but Harrion never once defended himself. He would only look at his elder
 brother coldly, and take his leave.

Almost five years after his return, a tremendous tragedy struck
Spottswood. Jason, Damian's eldest, was viciously stabbed to death
outside of the Keep returning from an outing. His two guards were also
slain - their throats slit. The only man to survive the encounter was
young Aren Sand, one of Damian's bastards. He was wounded, but somehow
the assailant had spared him. I attempted to inspect Aren's wounds, but
the young bastard shied away and claimed his acquaintance, a physician
named Clatton, had already treated him. Perturbed, I questioned the
young man about Jason's death, but Aren would relinquish few details **(Insidious)**.
 I fear that I knew the truth, but I would not risk the ruination of
this house should I reveal my fears to the Lord (who was already mad
with grief). Harrion was knighted shortly after Jason's murder as the
Lord of Spottswood would have no heir that was not an Anointed Knight.
The murderer was never discovered - only the dagger.

In the years that followed, Harrion would marry Lady Olenna Vrywel
and sire twin boys, Symon and Cedric, but once again tragedy would
strike Spottswood. Lord Damian succumbed to wounds gained during a
drunken rout at the local tavern. The Lord had been celebrating the
birth of Harrion's twins when he had taken a stumble and cracked his
skull. Harrion rushed his father to my chambers, but the damage was
severe and there was nothing to be done. He died shortly after receiving
 milk of the poppy, making Harrion Lord of Spottswood.

The years during Harrion's Lordship have been almost as quiet as the
Lord who rules. The Lord welcomed a daughter, Sylvia, a few years after
assuming the Lordship. Little has occurred since and Harrion has
governed quite fairly - if all is to be believed. There are many *foul*
 rumours that are whispered around the halls of Spottswood claiming that
 the Lord secretly abducts and tortures courtiers and small-folk alike
should they displease him, or the fact that the murderer of Jason
Santagar still has not been brought to justice, or that Lord Harrion
actually had slammed his drunken Father's head into the table several
times prior to bringing him to my chambers for aid, but these are just
dark speculation that do not concern a Maester.
