Lorren Grafton

## Lord of Gulltown

Janessa Grafton

Triston Grafton

**Lorren Grafton**, the Lord of Gulltown ascended to his seat at the age of sixteen, when his father passed away from complications from a disease caught of the coast of Myr. Though he has not been an overly stern or zealous ruler, he has ruled fairly - but when incident should arise, harshly. Lorren remains a staunchly loyal vassal to the Arryns of the Eyrie.

## Appearance

As rumour would have it, in his youth, Lorren Grafton was a handsome man, with long gushing blonde hair and light blue eyes. Though he is by no means homely, the youthful beauty he once possessed seemingly faded away with the waves. His skin is wrinkled, heavy bags rest beneath his eyes, his hair; has loosened and greyed, though even in his old age has he not yet started to bald. As he married, and his beauty faded, his care for his looks receded too and he grew a beard, long and rugged, strands of both white and grey hair rugged throughout. Despite his aged appearance, Lorren is still imposing physically, a tall man, with sturdy posture.

Upon his neck and off origin less exciting that one would imagine, he bears a rather large scar, from a minor incident during a standard drill. He is said to look a lot like his mother, who was born a Sunderland of Sisterton.

## History

**371 AC:** Born in Gulltown to Lord Horrand Grafton and Alyanne Sunderland.

**387 AC:** For his sixteenth name day, and due to the interest he took in maritime - his father had a warship built for him, one he could man personally once he grew experienced enough. Though unexpectedly, it was this year in which Lord Horrand Grafton perished.
