Lorent Baratheon

## Prince Lorent Baratheon

Tommen Baratheon

Jeyne Baratheon

Lorent Baratheon is the eldest son and heir of King Brynden I Baratheon.

## Appearance & Personality

Lorent stands a hair taller than his father and has King Brynden's eyes, the color appearing either blue or green depending on what he's wearing. His golden blond hair is closer to that of his mother, Queen Maegelle Redwyne.

Lorent has developed into a skilled swordsman, rider, and jouster under his uncle Alesander's tutelage and has performed well in the tourneys he's participated in. He's also acquired a passion for sailing from his mother's relatives.

Lorent has lived a life of privelege in Casterly Rock and has rarely been denied something he wants. While not arrogant and domineering, he's accustomed to others deferring to him and women showing interest. He is definitely out of touch with the realities of how the overwhelming majority of people live. While an accomplished tourney fighter, he's never been in a genuine life or death situation and has had no exposure the realities of warfare.

## History

Lorent was born to Prince Brynden Baratheon and Princess Maegelle Targaryen in the year 350 AC, the firstborn child of the union. He grew up in the midst of the wealth and power of the Court of Gold, first under his great Grandfather Tommen I, then his grandfather Lyonel I. He and his siblings had the finest tutors Casterly Rock's gold could buy, though Prince Brynden had been no great scholar in his youth and was not inclined to force his children to take lessons against their will. This was one subject in which Brynden was willing to stand firm against his wife and father both, to their displeasure. Several tutors resigned or were dismissed from their post before Maester Ormond succeeded where others failed.

A hulking man that the Baratheon children called Maester Aurochs behind his back, the new Maester possessed broad shoulders, a barrel chest, and a blacksmith's arms. And while he never gave any answer other than "the Citadel" to inquiries of where he came from, some members of the court believed him to be Ironborn based on the way his accent changed when agitated. Ormond brought his willful pupils in line by offering the illusion of choice. He would offer up a choice between subjects of study or the place where the lessons might be conducted, but the learning itself was not a subject open to negotiation. The Maester had several iron links in his chain, and was also Lorent's first introduction to swordplay, along with the more lordly aspects of warfare and generalship.

Seeing the boy's burgeoning potential with a blade, King Lyonel arranged for Lorent to squire under his uncle, Ser Alesander Baratheon. Lyonel also saw it as an opportunity to get the boy away from his father and his idealistic visions of philosopher kings, and instead provide him with a more structured, disciplined environment that would temper Lorent into something better able to deal with the harsh realities of the throne.
