Raymund Tully

Raymund Tully, born 79 AC, is the second-born son of Tommard Tully, heir to Riverrun, and Hariette Bracken. Knighted in by Ser Titus Frey and married to Victaria Serrett.

## Appearance and Character

Standing relatively tall, Reymund bore a lean, athletic figure forged through years of training at arms. His long wavy locks were of auburn, reaching his shoulders, and eyes a bright, icy blue that nearly glow in the darkness.

Anyone who knew the young man would describe him as cocky and confident, likely overly confident. His self-assuredness having thrown him into situations he was never prepared for. Though, that has yet to dull his arrogance. Shame was not a common feeling for Raymund, for better or worse. He did what he wished, how he wished, when he wished. Always seeking to prove himself the better, prove himself worthy. Raymund already believed he was. He just needed to convince everyone else of it.

## History

### Childhood

Born rather uneventfully to Tommard Tully and Hariette Bracken, Raymund had quite the common childhood. He was never the model child, nor especially exemplary at much. He was just a boy, playing at knight, getting into trouble every now and then, if a little bit more often than his brothers. Quiet and calm, he was not. Adventurous and rowdy was a bit more to his liking, however.

Though, Raymund always knew he was never meant to be lord as his older brother was, he'd never much cared, having a more unique view of it. Raymund took it more as a challenge than anything else. A challenge to be seen as more than simply the second-born son.

### Squiring at The Twins

From 91 to 96 AC, Raymund would be sent to the Twins to both ward and squire for Ser Titus Frey up until his knighting.

His tenure as a squire would turn out to be a quite eventful one, just as Raymund had hoped. With the rising of the West and the Reach in rebellion, Raymund would join his tutor in the march against the rebels, suiting up the man in plate and fighting by his side. It was during these days that the boy saw much of Westeros, having not traveled much before, and now finding a new love for venturing into unknown places, discovering things that had yet eluded him.

It was also in these days, that Raymund saw more blood than any boy of his age should. Having witnessed the events at the battle at Tumbler's Fall, Raymund was left scared, shaken, and in the end such only made him harder, stronger with a desire never to feel such a way again, never to join the men that had fallen in battle. The memories and feelings were pushed down, covered, hidden, never to see the light of day again, only used as fuel.

### Knighting and Beyond

Eventually, in 96 AC, Raymund would be knighted and allowed to go his own way, returning to Riverrun, where he wouldn't stay for long. The new knight would venture out once more, traveling from castle to castle as a tourney knight now. Free from the confines of his duties to another, it was his time to make his mark on the world.

At one point in his travels, the young man would find himself in The Nightingale Inn. There he would meet Victaria Serrett; a lady on the run. After hearing the truth of her troubles, Raymund, seeing himself the noble hero from children's tales and an opportunity to spit in the face of a western lord, took it upon himself to help the beautiful young woman, offering her safety - hearth and home - within the halls of Riverrun.

Though, things would turn in a way he hadn't expected. What had originally begun as selfish desire had become more. The more time he spent with her, the more his feelings grew. Until, eventually, she had become more than simply some fair maiden he had rescued, but his love. It wouldn't be much longer until they were married.
