Arthur Osgrey

Arthur Osgrey is the youngest child of Theodan Osgrey and Talla Rowen, following his defeat at the Battle of Coldmoat, he has lived in exile for the past twenty years, coming to form his own mercenary group, the 'Little Lions'

## Appearance and Character

Arthur once the personification of youthfulness and nativity, has grown old and stern. It is said that he never smiles anymore, preferring to sharpen his sword than spend time with his family. He had seen too much death to grow attached to anyone; the passing of his sister still leaves a mark and his inability to protect the ones he loves.

## History

Born in 399 AC, Arthur's mother died in childbirth, the youngest of five children, four of them being male. However, in 404 AC, the eldest of the five siblings, Eustace died of a chill during the Scarlet Winter, leaving Robb as the heir to Standfast, however Arthur was never expected to inherit Standfast and as a result was mostly left to his own devices; where his brothers were taught to manage a Holdfast, Arthur was given a sword and a shield and told to learn how to fight, or allowed to explore the expansive grasslands of the Reach. While the Osgrey's may not longer call themselves Lord, the tradition dies hard, and Theodan ensured all his children were educated as befitting boys of noble birth; and the stories of Wilbert 'the little lion' and Perwyn 'The Proud' would often be heard beside the fire place in Standfast.

In 408 AC however, another death struck the once proud House of Osgrey as Robb was cut down while fighting alongside his father in the Battle of the Ford. The death never truly healed for his father, and while Arthur was only a boy of nine it left a mark upon him as he slowly saw his family fall into ruins. Unfortunately it was not a quick death.

A period of tranquility was finally blessed to the Osgrey's and while Ser Theodan rarely left the tower of Standfast, Richard had learnt much from his father and effectively managed the household; at the expense of his relationship with his brother. Being the two youngest, Arthur and Desmera were rarely involved in the matters of rulership, and a conversation with either their father of their brother was unheard of. A small toast at breakfast in a mild summers morning in the year 417 AC was the last conversation they would have with their brother, following reports of Webber smallfolk stealing crops from the villages that surrounded the Osgrey keep. He challenged the Lord of Coldmoat to a duel, and was promptly cut down in a quick fashion and his head placed on a pike.

When the news broke the day after their father got worse, unwilling to eat or drink it fell onto Desmera to look at him, as Arthur was too busy taking his anger out on boys from the villages in sparring matching, pretending each one of them was the Lord of Coldmoat. Within two short years, Thoedan Osgrey passed away in his sleep, leaving Arthur as the Knight of Standfast.

As Knight of Standfast, Arthur took it upon himself to restore what he believed was rightfully his; at any cost. When his liege and uncle Lord Rowan rejected his demand for this, he took it upon himself to see it done. Arthur stood outside Coldmoat for weeks, challenging the Lord of Coldmoat at a duel every day, hoping that one day his answer may have been different. It never was, so the time came when Arthur went against his Uncle, and raised his banners. It did not take long for Lord Rowan to raise his own, and meet in battle.

In an act that can only be described as a miracle, Arthur managed to escape and headed to Starpike to meet with his sister, leaving behind his home, and his lover Emma; unbeknown to him, pregnant with his unborn bastard daughter. House Peake granted him refuge for a short time, allowing him to be healed by their Maester, but he did not stay long and was on his way again before the day was up.

Using the last of his coin, he bought passage on a ship headed to Myr. He and his men would have to work for their passage, as he only had enough to pay for his sister's accommodation. He would soon come to regret choosing the ship. Upon passing the stepstones, pirates came upon them. Arthur tried to defend his sisters cabin, but his men were quickly overcomed with the numbers and he was pinned down while the pirates forced themselves into the cabin where Arthur watched them take their turns with his sister before slitting her throat. They left him for dead in the sea, burning the ship.

To this day he is not sure what god saved him, but he awoke upon the shores of Essos, alive. It was another stroke of luck that the group to come upon him were not slavers but mercenaries. He joined the ranks of the Windblown, where he remained for fifteen years.

During this time he bore a bastard upon a whore that wandered through the camps in 422 AC, an action he regrets.

However in 430 AC, through his interaction with House Peake back home, he married Roslin Peake, and they have since had 4 children together.

After his contract of fifteen years has passed, and his debt paid for saving his life, he formed his own company with other men he had befriended over the years. The Little Lions, named after Wilber 'The Little Lion' Osgrey.
