## Appearance & Personality

In terms of size, Arron is a gargant, standing well over seven and built of pure brawn. His hair is thick and black, his face a map of scars.

He is, in his mind, an honourable man, but his sense of honour is somewhat warped. Combining the iron price to those who have wronged him, many a noble has lost a finger for even the slightest offence and even more have lost their lives

## History

From the very moment he was born Arrons life was hard. His father knew that his son would be bound for greatness, and began his training to be a warrior from a very young age. As more Blacktyde brothers were born their father paid little heed to the others, this angered the second born Torstien and the two fought regularly. By the time Torstien was of age their mother sent him along with his twin horrus to become maesters. As the pair rowed towards the ship to take them to oldtown, Arron stood proudly on the dock and threw axes at the small dingy.

As he grew so did his aptitude for violence. Often going down to the docks to pick fights, few could stop the huge adolescent when his blood was up.
