## Lucion Westerling

Lord Lucion Westerling was born a boy with out the future of a title. He was the second son of a healthy young Lord Baldyr Westerling and Alyssane Brax. He became lord after his lord father, and older brother  passed of a mysterious illness within a fortnight of eachother. So while born a boy of no titles he has risen, under suscpicious circumstances, as Lord of The Crag.

## Appearance and Character

Lucion is a small statured older lord, who if not for his status would be overlooked, or at the best presumed as a maester. He is naturally endomorphic, and stays well below the frame of most lords. His eyes are a dull gray matching the clouds of a coming rain, and longer hair and beard that matches with color. Roughly, 5'8" a meager 130 pounds he is unnaturally light.

Lucion is a man of few words, and those who know him would says hes of fewer actions. Though the God's know this just isnt true. Lucion always has been a methodical and cautious man, and was as a boy as well. This isn't to say he didnt take risks. He just wasn't caught. Due to his early home and ascendance in to adulthood, he does not tolerate mistreatment or disrespect, especially to those he cares for. Perhaps unbefitting his normally quiet nature, he has a temper that, while few has ever seen none have lived long enough to talk about it.

## **History**

### *The Birth of Lucion (74 AC)*

Lucion was born the second son of the main house of Westerling. Born in the middle of a cold night, made even colder by the winds, and torches that refused to light. Upon his birth it was suspected he was a stillborn, with no cries in the night and little light to see. But as the midwives prodded him more he began to grunt, and eventually cried.

### *Young Life (74-89)*

Lucion had a relatively normal life for the child of lord. He suffered the normal education, enjoyed the same activities as most young lords, but, also enjjoyed the time he recieved to keep to himself and read at times. He also spent a majority of his time in the garden with his mother, taking a keen interest in the herbs and flowers that she grew. All of this time was a normal time just as any lord's child would experience, until his younger brother was born in 79. The boy was to be named Torwyn, but that name would never be heard. Torwyn was born a "monster". A dwarf with a cleft lip and a protruded brow. Legs that curled and one hand that never formed. He was an insult to Baldyr, a hideous miscreant that most certainly to him could not been his son. for the next two years the boy was abused by his father, never allowed to see the light of day outside his mother and his new chambers that would be barred from the outside with no windows. 2 months after the boys 2nd name day Lucion's mother, also battered black and blue at his Lord's hand, finally attempted to stand up to Lord Baldyr. It was this day that Baldyr had his wife and children's mothers marched through the halls to the tallest tower of the Crag, Torwyn in tow. Lucion at one point being the good hearted soul most children are, followed his was up the tower against his fathers words. Without being noticed he watch as Their father proceeded to further beat their mother, and Torwyn until finally The boy was thrown from the window to die. At this point There was nothing Lucion could do but cry out for his brother, along side the wails of his mother. All his crying and screaming on led to make him a target too.

After the murder of his younger brother, Lucion further turned cold. Never crying even during the savage beatings his father gave him and his mother. One would think the child no longer had any emotions. Eventually even his brother assumed a role in the beatings, not as a victim, but as another aggressor. Eventually Lucion grew to loathe bother his father and brother, and anyone else he saw as "evil." As he grew older he was still unable to stand up to his brother or father, being both physically and mentally uncapable. This turned him to focus more on his strengths. This included using his natural kindness of his youth to gather many friends in those both younger and older than he. This would turn out to help him quite well as he was able to have a net of those he could rely on fore more than just information. He also learned his proficeniency in botany could be used to vreate various poisons. These poisons were well equipped for the rats around the keep and for those other humans he judged as evil as he would soon find out as one of his closer friends, as he called her though she was a peasant servant of the keep, would be abused by some "knight" that wandered in to speak to his father. Lucion was able to convince the keep's cook to add something that he had brought only to the bowl of his friends abuser. That night would prove the start of Lucions true life, as the knight fell deathly ill and deftly quick, within 3 days falling to the illness that had so quickly arrested him. Most would have felt some guilt upon seeing the consequence of this action, but perhaps due to the avoidance of being caught, Lucion garned some actual happiness up seeing the death of this man he percieved as evil. This man was just the first of many that would fall to "The Night Plague" of The Crag.

From Lucions 12 year of life until his 15th, The Night Plague would inadvertently sow some fear in all those that wondered the the Crag at night. Meant truthfully only for the wicked the poisons Lucion cast upon those he judged served him two-fold as it also cleaned up the streets at night, as many were afraid that because of the times he struck those with the "illness" , that it was a disease one only caught at night, and coincidentally perhaps, in the seedier sections of the commons. Nevertheless none could figure how the "disease" was spread nor how it could be cured. It was simply thought of as the usher to the next life, for as quickly as one caught it they were gone. Many did pay close attention to the character of those who fell.

#### *(The Rest of the Westerlings - [84;86])*

Through the abuse of Lucion and his mother, Lord Westerling would force Alysanne to bear two more children, both daughters. Luckily for these two girls they were spared from the tortuous abuse the befell their mother and brother. To Baldyr, they were assets to be sent off to other lords. Lucion would come to be protective of them from would be suitors, which actually played quite a role in favor of Baldyrs plans as he didnt care about love for them.

### *A trip to Essos (89-93)*

At one point, Lucion made a trip to Castamere and befriended the young Lord Runceford Reyne. He manages to find himself invited alongside him to travel the Free Cities of Essos, and accepts. Together they bounce from city to city narrowly escaping disaster almost every where they went. While Runceford gallovanted and enthralled hiself in the language and arts of essos, Lucion made his aquaintance with some of the herbalist and botanists of the famed Lys. There he learned more than he every ould have at home, included poisons of instant potency, and some that while would still be certain death, would drag out for weeks sometimes months if prepared appropriately. Over the years the two lords would grow closer to the point that aeven through their vast differences and disagreements Lucion would consider him the brother he wish he'd grown up with.

### *The Rosegold Rebellion (93)*

Once they arrived back home tensions were at a high in the kingdoms. The Rosegold Rebellion had begun and they were sent off to fight. Together again Runceford and Lucion would not be separate for long. Although Lucion wasnt much of a fighter and certainly was no knight he still participated alongside his friend, and in fact actually contributed to more deaths than he may be aware of as his skill in poisons cme in quite handy when applied to Runceford's blade.

### *An Arranged Marriage (94)*

After returning from the battles of the Rebellion, Lucion had no less stories to tell, but many years of abuse to be caught up on. As he was berated and belittled and almost ostracized by his own house, Lucions father made well certain that he was not cared for. Soon however Lucion would find a source of happiness in his father's failure to abuse him in another way by arranging a marriage for him. This marriage would also be forced on Alys Banefort, but for her family it had more reason that spite. However regardless of the reason for the marriage Alys and Lucion would find a lot of reasons to love each other through their life.

*Children of Lucion (94-101)*
After their marriage Lucion lived a much happier life as his father tamed his more abusive side as he could have those from outside knowing his dark side. Eventually Lady Alys would come to bear children, 5 in fact all born healthy and as beautiful as any other. Lorent (94) would be the first and oldest, the heir to nothing as a sibling branch. Following him would be 2 more sons and 2 daughters.

*A New Illness Grips The Crag (115-125)*
On a dark and dull and cold morning in the new winter, a fever gripped Lord Westerling in his sleep. He awoke trembling from chills and aches. His eyes strained bloodshot and blurred, his hands unable to grasp and knees shakier than a conoe on a stormy ocean. The Maester was lost as to this sudden ailment and no matter the treatment, there was no improvement in his condition. For Baldyr every day was an eternity, sleep was lost to him, food was no more enjoyable than eating blade shavings. Conversations he had seemed more like dreams, except he knew he was awake. a dark clous hung over his mind and body. During this time Luca, Lucions older brother, would take over as regent of the Crag. It would be 5 years until Baldyr was able to feel the sweet relief of death. Shortly after the funeral however, there would be no time to grieve, for the illness had struck a new victim. Luca had now fallen ill, in the same manner as his father. He would fair no better, in same amount of years Luca, too, succumbed to the illness.

*A new Lord of The Crag (125- Current)*
For Luca had only daughters, the Crag past to Lucion. No better could Lucion had hoped for his poisons to work against his father and his brother. He had elimimanted the two that had caused him and his mother so much grief and strife. He had eliminated the evil that lurked in his halls, and now he could take his position a top The Crag. No more evil should befall his keep. He and his gifts would purge his keep of wrong-doers and evil minds. And he did, for what he saw crime was low, or atleast hidden, though he and his people kept vigilant about it. As Lord however he hadnt the time to do this bidding himself, but he had those who would execute his wishes for him. He need only supply the means.
