Mors Dayne

**Mors Dayne** is the eldest child of Davos Dayne and Delena Bulwer and nephew to Ser Michael Dayne of High Hermitage.

## Appearance and Character

Mors is a tall and decently built man in his mid-twenties, who shares much of his features with the Rhoynarish people. He has smooth olive skin and dark hair, neatly kept hair, yet like his Dayne kin, Mors has indigo colored eyes and a rather strong jaw.

Though not an incredibly skilled warrior, Mors' body shows his years of devotion to martial training. While not incredibly muscular, he has a rather lean look to his frame, lined with countless scars after years of fighting aboard.

Having spent time amongst rather unsavory men in Essos, Mors has picked up a rather blunt demeanor, he seems to say as he pleases whenever he wishes and to whomever he wishes. That coupled with the fact that he tends to be a quiet man and naturally looks displeased more often than not, leaves many thinking the Dayne is a rather prickly and rude young man.

Of course, that is the farthest thing from the truth. Mors simply hates those who lace their words with lies and often thinks that letting a person know what’s truly on your mind will aid both parties in the future.

Though a flawed man with countless vices, Mors strives to be the best man he can be. One who has his own personal views of honor, justice, and loyalty.

## History

### Upbringing

As a child, Mors was said to be a quiet and rather reserved boy who while he did make a few friends, was always the outcast of any group he was apart of. His father Davos had tried his best to turn the young boy into a great knight, who'd hopefully work his way into marrying the daughter of a powerful house.

Yet by the time Mors turned into a young teen, his reserved personality seemed to have kept him from pursuing and winning the hearts of other young ladies. But where he lacked in social skills, he made up for in both his martial and educational skills.

It was around then that the Fourth Dornish war kicked off as well, forever changing the young man's life.

### Fourth Dornish War

While Mors wasn't a key figure during the war, he did partake in a single battle throughout the war. When the Dayne forces reached Skyreach, the young Dayne found himself being thrown into the thick of it. It was his first true combat experience and while he did fight valiantly, and while he wouldn't admit it for some time, hearing his father gloat to other knights of his son's action, made the young squire feel incredible and he longed for more.

In the years that followed, he continued to sharpen his skill in hopes that another war would kick-off and he'd one day make his father proud again. Sadly, that never happened and slowly his want for war grew from simply wanting to please his father to him wishing to find some glory in battle. And where he couldn't find war in Dorne, he knew he could find elsewhere in the world.

### Finding a New Life

At around sixteen after being knighted by his uncle, Michael Dayne, he left his home for Planky Town hoping to find someone willing to take him aboard to fight in a foreign war. Much to the young man's surprise, he couldn't quite find anyone willing to take him to Essos to fight amongst their sellswords. The only person who seemed willing to hire the young knight was a poor merchant heading for King's Landing.

Having no other offers, he decided to take his chances north and went off with the merchant. This would serve as the start of nearly a year-long adventure following the merchant from place to place in Westeros. Until finally the man arrived in Braavos, where the young boy gladly rushed off and attempted to find a free company to join up with.

Eventually, Mors joined up with the Second Sons after bribing a recruiter and proving he'd be a skilled enough sword to join their ranks. He'd also quickly made use of himself after being taken under the wing of Gulian of Oxcross, a man who administered much of the companies money.

### Bloodied Blades

His first few years with the Sons was incredible, Mors had begun to fulfill his dreams of fighting for glory and truly found some joy in it. Not only did he fight but he'd also begun to take an active roll in dealing with money first hand at such a young age. He was incredibly skilled at it, it was as though it was second nature to him. And while he preferred fighting, it was clear that his skill with a sword could likely never match his mind when it came to money.

The longer he served amongst them, the more responsibility and trust they put upon the man. By his third year amongst them, he'd fought in countless fronts and his want for war seemed to dwindle down. To him, it seemed all they'd truly needed him for was to aid with their money, they weren't the kindest of men nor were they the sort he'd expected would gain much glory.

Yet he stayed with them for another year. It was likely the worst decision of his life, one that he still regrets to this day. Gulian the man who'd taken Mors in died in what can best be described as a bloodbath, that left the young Dayne injured. It was during his recovery that he truly thought of his life up to this point, he was a young Dornishmen, surrounded by Essosi sellswords whose native tongue he didn't quite comprehend, fighting for glory that would never come and gold that he'd likely spend on drinks and whores.

Being left with his thoughts made him long to return home for the first time in years. And with the death of his mentor, he wondered just how long he could survive in a world like this. Sure he could continue to make money and fight, but if he died it would all be for nothing.

And so he'd decided to head home.

### Returning Home

It took Mors sometime to head back to Dorne, nearly all the coin he had was spent in securing safe transportation to Planky Town. By this point, it was 93 AC and it was widely known that the Iron Throne was facing a civil war, of course by now an older Mors had somewhat grown tired of all the fighting. Instead, he'd hoped Dorne wouldn't play a role in it.

He'd simply wanted to see his family once more, and after making his way to High Hermitage, he did just that. Both his siblings had become teens, whom in the past five years had changed immensely. Colyn was a squire and Dyanna had become a smart and beautiful young lady, he couldn't express how proud of them he felt.

Yet after all those years, he couldn't quite settle into his childhood home. And so he once more returned to Planky Town where he'd settled into a manor, alongside one of his distant bastard cousins, Johanna Sands. Since his return home, Mors has frequented various portions of Dorne, though while he does return home from time to time, Planky Town and Sunspear have slowly taken up his time and are where the young man is likely spotted nowadays.
