## Personality and Appearance

A man of stone, some thought. Nakario was more of a force of nature, you could oppose him, but Nakario's willpower could be compared to a strong wind that eventually blew you down. In addition, Lord Nakario wrapped himself in such a silence that it was almost impossible to decipher him. Just like his father, Nakario dislikes speaking with others and during his youth many assumed that he was even mute. Deep beneath his blank surface, lies a fire too hot to handle and too cold to contain. There is only Durran and Nakario's wife, Aetharina, who know how to deal with his shrewd personality. So the two shared many of the more diplomatic tasks. Nakario feels a kinship to moles and particularly birds, spending many hours in the rookery of Broad Arch and studying the latter.

The current Lord of House Staedmon has slit brown almost black eyes, a pretty yet scornful gaze. He has also retained his boyish physique. Nakario also waxes his face regularly to prevent any sign of facial hair growth, which also contributed to his youthful appearance. Nakario always wears his long black hair in a tight pony, with a single thick strand falling over his left eye. Although he isn't very tall, he is described as lanky and muscular but pales in comparison to his brothers.

He likes to dress in black clothes of rough material, arguing that a Lord should never feel comfortable. He was in the possession of a full black set of armor with his house's sigil embedded on the chest piece. Although he never truly needed it, and he wasn't the most gifted swordsman either.

## History

He left his mother's womb an hour before his twin sister, Faeya. Despite them being twins, he and Faeya never developed a very close relationship, but he let her in on some of the few of his secrets after she defended him in public.

His childhood was fairly uneventful. Nakario showed a great interest in books and learning more, as well as observing others in pure silence. He went through the mandatory education as any other young noble. Nakario failed to connect closely with his family and was always somewhere else in Broad Arch, spending time alone, studying and brooding.

100 AC

His first real challenge came at 4 and 10 years old. His father passes away and Nakario become Lord but just in name, as his mother Lady Kaylin Staedmon and her brother Ser Lyon have assumed regency. Nakario was against the plan of marching to Dorne and voiced his opinion through Maester Cullen, but it rang on deaf ears, as he was just a boy and the maester old. A decision that would cut deeply House Staedmon, leaving wounds that would never close. From this day own the relationship between him and his mother worsened.

### **101 AC Ransacked to 103**

That year Broad Arch was burned down a fourth time and the main branch of House Staedmon fled deep into the wombs of the castle, where Nakario commanded the guards to apprehend his mother and uncle, relieving them off their regency early and he also fired Maester Cullen. Some say he offered the poor maester to the fires as a sacrifice.

This event has left an impact on all members of House Staedmon and mostly the young Lord, having to face war so early on has set him on a dark path, while trying to rebuild what has been lost such as the statues of all the previous Lords. This taught them all what true fear is, as they hid from the Dornish, low on food and deserting guards. Right when they were considering to leave the castle for the wild, they heard shouts of the Dornish surrendering and fleeing. And when the dust had settled and every scream turned into silence, that's when Lord Nakario re-emerged with his family and was re-instated as Lord of Broad Arch.

### 111 AC Meeting Aetharina and Marriage

Around this time, Nakario fulfilled himself a wish by travelling to Sunstone Island. There he meets one night a mysterious woman, who introduces herself as Aetharina. Nakario is uncharacteristically soft and sweet to her, while he never had the urge before to marry. He has it with Aetharina. She refuses his love until he has taught her a secret. Nakario relents and admits that he regrets ruining his relationship with his parents.

The records are unclear on who Aetharina of Sunstone Island is. She herself claims to have been for a while part of the Silent Sisters, and she is a daughter of a noble and a commoner.

### **116 AC Onwards**

Lord Nakario supported Devan Baratheon, considering Richard Baratheon nothing more than a Lannister puppet and did not like Ashara, but with Nakario in control of House Staedmon expenses were kept low. In the same year Nakario and his wife were blessed with their first child, Daario (nicknamed **Durran the Younger**). Not much later, he got wary of Oberon's provocations and send his little brother to House Toland and entertain them.

### Births and Tragedies

His son was followed by a daughter, Talana in 117 AC, who died in early childhood in 118 AC. While the death of their first daughter hit Lord and Lady Staedmon hard, it also made their bond stronger and not even a year later Aetharina gave birth to a healthy daughter named Krestenne in 119 AC. In 121 AC their son Thoros was born, in the year 123 AC son Martyn and in the year 127 AC daughter Kiyana.

On the other hand, what happened two years later at the Concord Inn left Nakario relatively un-fazed. He was too socially inept to show gratitude for getting saved by his little brother, and found it difficult to support Durran in his grief. The two had so far a very strong brotherly bond and acted hand in hand as Lord of Broad Arch.

## Recent Events

Being the Lord of a noble House has started to bore Nakario, or maybe he lets's people assume that. Through his younger brother Oberon, he keeps an eye on the dornish. While his other brother Durran, the castellan of Broad Arch, has taken over most of the responsibilities, which gives Nakario the freedom to not interact with people and to spend time in the rookery with his birds or his children. Recently he has sent out his brother Durran to investigate the disappearance of Oberon. Nakario himself claims that he wants to travel to King's Landing and renew his fealty, but in reality, he intends to forge an alliance with fellow supporter of the Red Faith, Ashlynn Toland. Herefore he has culled back his sister Faeya and the arrival of red priestess Joelle could further his goals.
