Ser Clayton Yronwood was once known and liked throughout Dorne. He would be welcomed at the castles throughout the region, being the younger brother of not one, but *two* Bloodroyals.

He was never quite close with his two elder brothers, one 7 years his elder, the other sent away as a cupbearer. His closest friends were his sisters: Sarella was something like a mother to him, Yennifer was his age, and Ashara his shadow. Those were sad moments when they got married off, especially Sarella, whom he only saw once more in his entire life. Clayton viewed his brothers-in-law with distaste, and would never speak of them unless mentioned by others.

## Appearance and Character

Clayton looks like your favourite shirt after you leave it lying in the washer for a week.

He was once a handsome and charismatic young man, but his days of glory are long behind. Once tall and slender, he now proudly wears pot belly, but he can proudly say that his strength has not diminished like his stature.

## History

### Youth

Clayton was the fourth child and third son of Lord Yoren and Lady Hunter, this meant that he would never inherit the last fortress of the Boneway. It *did* grant him a lot of freedom, however. He grew up in Yronwood and was trained by the master-of-arms, while his two brothers were sent to other castles across the realm as page and squire. His best friends would be his sisters, bossy Sarella, gentle Yennifer, and wild Ashara.

### Knighthood

Clayton was found to be an able warrior, and his studies in the art of swords and horses proceeded with much more success than his in the letters. The later he gave up at the age of 12, and he remains to be able to barely read or write.

### Hedge Days

A year after he was knighted, at the age of 18, Ser Clayton grew bored with his peaceful life at Yronwood and set off seeking adventures as a hedge knight. He never got his wish of seeing all Seven Kingdoms. During those days, his most notable journeys would bring him to Oldtown and later Darry.

### Golden Company

It took five years and wizening purse for him to decide to settle down. Clayton's journeys brought him to King's Landing, where he served in the Golden Company under Aeron Goldfyre for 3 years. On one stupendous night of drinking in 367, he went as far as to strike Goldfyre when the man came to get him out of the whorehouse. This resulted in his expulsion from his services.

### Knight of Yronwood

He went back to Dorne for the first time after eight years, to find that his eldest brother had died during those wandering years, and Yorick Yronwood now sits upon the Ironwood Throne.

He was appointed as the Knight of Yronwood, and his wanderlust was controlled, at least for the time being.

His days on this new job was spent mostly on travelling up and down Dorne as his brother's ambassador. However, his job would soon become more interesting as bandits gather in the Red Mountains to challenge House Yronwood's rule. The Vulture King, he called himself.

Ser Clayton would lead the forces of his house to eradicate the band, and finally slay the man in a duel after three years of sweeping through.

### Madness

It is debated what truly caused Clayton's madness. Was it some strange and alien snake or insect in the Dornish deserts? Was it the parting of an unknown loved one, mayhaps his sisters? In fact, was he really insane when his two nephews imprisoned him, mere two weeks after the death of his brother? He will stay in his tower room for the next 8 years.

### Imprisonment

His hope grew when Ormond Yronwood died, and Nymor succeeded him, but by then the imprisonment was already taking its toll on him. Nymor *did*, however,have him transferred to a better room on top of the Iron Tower.

Clayton plots for escape multiple times, some with more success than others, but all resulting in being captured. He had given up by 406 AC.

### Great Tourney of Harrenhal

As a reward for his good behaviour, and in hope that he may get better at the sight of jousting and melee fights, he was allowed to go to the Great Tourney of Harrenhal. This proved to be a terrible mistake, and his freedom ended after chasing two Riverlands ladies across the castle grounds, naked.

Soon, he escaped from the window of his room soon after and participated in the Tourney as the mystery knight - The Door Knight. Clayton was knocked off the horse in his first tilt by Ser Leyton Hightower.
