Cleyton Redwyne

Ser Cleyton Redwyne is the brother of Lord Franklyn Redwyne and the current Lord Admiral of the Arbor. He is a man known for his intelligence as well as his dedication to his family and position.

A child prodigy, Cleyton rose to prominence at a very young age, superseding maesters and career sailors alike with his knowledge of ships and the sea.

## Appearance and Personality

Wearing the fair hair of the Redwynes, Cleyton is a handsome man with a chiseled, mostly clean shaven chin. He has striking blue eyes and a slender yet tightly muscular build. Having spent so much time at sea, Cleyton’s features are weathered, giving him the appearance of being older than he is.

Cleyton is a brilliant man who’s intelligence is well known and often intimidates people of a lesser mind. He grows impatient and bored with people often and does not mince words. He is a lifelong soldier that carries himself with dignity. Everything he does, he does as if it were his duty. He keeps himself neat and clean at all times. Cleyton’s stalwartness in his duty leads him to appear emotionless and cold. Something he does not mind and uses to his advantage.

## Early Life

Cleyton is the second son of Ser Luthor Redwyne and Lady Bethany Tarly, the younger sibling of the current Lord Franklyn Redwyne and elder sibling of Ser Eustace Redwyne.

From a young age, Cleyton was raised to the position of heir because of his elder brother’s sickliness and later being sent to the faith. As such, Ser Luthor saw to it that Cleyton received the very best tutors and training at arms. He proved to be an extremely talented scholar with a particular interest in ships and naval warfare. From the age of six, Cleyton was learning about and spending time aboard the ships of the Red Fleet of the Arbor.

At ten, Cleyton began tinkering with ship technology. He would carve small ships of wood he found laying around and worked to make his ships the fastest of all the boys of the Arbor. His love of tinkering has followed him to today.

When Franklyn was sent to the faith, Cleyton and Eustace were elevated to positions traditionally given to the heirs of a house.

## Knighthood and Young Adulthood

Cleyton continued his studies and built his reputation as a talented seaman. He was given control of a small group of ships and ordered to suppress piracy around the Arbor. Under his admiralty, piracy around the Arbor and the Southern Reach as a whole plummeted to historic lows. For his work, Cleyton was knighted by the Lord Victor of the Arbor,.

## Franklyn’s Return, Reign of Urrathon, and Franklyn’s Coup

When his brother Franklyn returned from the faith, Cleyton was initially happy to see him. His cheer was quickly reduced when he was ordered by older members of the family, his father among them, to shun Franklyn. This order Cleyton followed but did not care for. Family is important to him.

When Urrathon came into his rule, the shun on Franklyn was lifted, much to Cleyton’s joy. Cleyton and Eustace made amends with their brother and the three became a powerful bloc in family politics. When Urrathon left for the Capitol and was subsequently arrest, Cleyton and Eustace supported their brother’s seizure of power. For his support, Cleyton was made Lord Admiral of the Arbor, an honor he had longed for his entire life.
