Dorian Tyrell

## Ser

Leonette Tyrell

Lord Rowan Tyrell (381- present)- cousin, former master.

Dorian Tyrell is a scion of House Tyrell, who currently resides in King's Landing. Known as the Honourless Rose for deflowering a lady from his cousin's court, this descendant of Garth the Gardener doesn't appear to have the qualities that have graced so many of his culture - namely, chivalric nature and the spirit of the summer knights.

## Appearance

In terms of looks, Dorian is a typical Tyrell. His face has all the beauty of youth. He styles his hair in short, light brown curls, and his eyes, same in colour, are always seen in a kind of good mood, though most of it is just acting. He dresses well, neatly, without a single imperfection to him. It all adds to an aura of fakeness around him.

## History

371 AC - Alliser Tyrell marries a woman he had been courting for a while - Celia Lyberr.

378 AC - Celia commits suicide from unknown reasons, speculated to be her inability to bring her husband a child.

393 AC - After many years of mourning, Alliser's family finally convinces him to remarry - this time time to a much younger Alaine Vyrwell.

395 AC - Identical twins Dorian and Leo are born to Alliser and Alaine.

397 AC - Alysanne Tyrell is born.

400 AC - Alaine falls pregnant yet again, but her happiness is cut short by her husband's death after a bandit attack. A couple of moons after his death, she gives birth to a girl she names Leonette. Leo and Dorian are 5 years old, Alysanne 3.

400 - 407 AC: Alaine grows incresingly religious, and raises her children to be the same. Dorian develops his skills as an illustrator, though his mother restricts what he can draw by limiting it to religious symbols. His days are spent in praying, practicing, learning heraldry, and such a life stiffles the boy.

407 AC - Rowan, his cousin and Lord of Highgarden, takes both Dorian and his brother as squires. Dorian proves quick on his feet, and skilled with the dagger. Such a skill will prove useful in the future.

409 AC - Rowan initially stays in Highgarden at the plea of his wife, and so do his two cousin-squires. However, when the Battle at the Lake comes ever close, Rowan goes and brings Leo and Dorian with him. Leo relishes in the feeling of battle, but Dorian is terrified at the horrors of the war, and contemplates if a life of knighthood is worth it.

410 - 414 AC: Dorian tries fighting alongside his brother and cousin, but becomes more and more disillusioned with becoming a knight. In a cowardly move, he avoids as much fighting as he can, and prays for a safe homecoming, which starts the rumours that would aid in him becoming the Honourless Rose. Nevertheless, he bears witness to many attrocities, and at the end of war, decides to stop the squiring if it means being exposed to such slaughter. It teaches him to be perceptive.

416 AC: Safely in Highgarden, Dorian watches his pious sister Alysanne, who was raised mainly by their mother's ideals, marry Desmond Graceford, and becomes an uncle for the first when she gives birth to her daughter, Denyse. His twin Leo marries Malora Blackbar.

That same year, Dorian gets into a relationship with a lady serving in Highgarden, Rhialta Bulwer. The two, carelessly, behave as if they were married, and as a result, Rhialta falls pregnant. Lady Alaine isn't happy, and orders her son to marry the girl as to avoid shame. Dorian, not prepared for the responsability, lets her have the baby which she names Steffon, and while he does admit to the child being his, in late moons of that year, he rides to King's Landing, where he has found a place in the capital, in his family's manse there.

417 AC: When the news of Dorian riding to King's Landing spreads, people start calling him the Honourless Rose, continuation of his cowardly behaviour during the war in Essos.
