## History

### Early Life

Often left alone in Pyke under care of his bastard uncle Quellon Pyke, Veron Greyjoy would spend his time sailing the sea alongside his vassal lords and captains. Maron would often read about various books around Pyke, which are rare to find due to the ironborn not being lovers of such. One book that actually fascinated Maron and sparkled his love for words and reading were the Tales of the Kraken, a thick historical book written by none other than Rodrik the Reader, his great-great grandmother Asha Greyjoy's loyal advisor and friend. Filled with curiosity and hunger for more knowledge, Maron would often visit the busy markets around Pyke in hope of buying more and more variants of books and scrolls from the merchants to help expand his knowledge.

Despite being a lover of books and not staying true to his ironborn way, Quellon had been fond of the boy nontheless for Maron would often tell tales of his brave ascendants to his uncle such as Lord Dalton Greyjoy "the Red Kraken", Balon Greyjoy often called "Coldwind", and many more to name. Due to Maron being a fan of reader, he did not find many friends in court.

## Recent Events

After being told of his bastard uncle Quellon Pyke's death, Maron wept for his uncle was the closest thing to a friend he had in his life aside from his books and scrolls. He was reminded of his responsibility as the heir of the Iron Islands by his advisors, and that he may soon assume his father's duty as a lord. Unsure of what to do, Maron had decided to delay such position, while prioritizing in hosting a funeral for his uncle Quellon Pyke. In truth, this was an event for Maron to inspect the ironborn lords' opinions on him.

Unsurprisingly, most if not all of the attending ironmen showed disrespect and disfavor on him, save for a few lordlings kind enough to share their condolences with Maron and their drinks together. Lord Drumm had also seen fit to publicly insult Maron infront of his court, leading to several agreements from other ironborn lords. After the funeral of his uncle, Maron returns to his castle in Pyke for preparations in assuming the duty as lord of the Iron Islands.
