## Appearance and Character

- Appearance -

Alyn is a tall youth with bright, teal eyes. His is lean and muscular from years of training in the yard with his bastard cousin, Serwyn. He does not suffer the plain face of a commoner, like many bastards hold, rather having the sharp features of a Bar Emmon. A pointed chin, beak nose, and sunken cheeks, Ser Alyn is not the best looking man. He suffers the yellow teeth and big ears of his mother's house and the clunky build of his father's. Long shaggy brown hair adorns his head, constantly pulled back in something that resembled a horse's tail. He is constantly seen in gilded or black armor and a slowing cloak of teal or crimson, clasped with a silver swordfish

- Character -

Any shortcomings that are prevalent in his looks or attire is made up tenfold by his attitude. He is not a particularly honorable man, but is kind enough to those he feels would serve him well. The vows of knighthood means little and less to him as his lust for power and station grows ever bigger. Greedy, vain, and prideful beyond what should be proper for a bastard of a lesser house. Despite all this misgivings, he has a way of binding men to him, pulling friends from the woodwork when all else seems to be against him. He is in fierce rivalry with his chivalrous cousin, Serwyn.

## History

###

### Childhood

Alyn did not enjoy the comfort he might have if his father had lived through the Hook Uprising. From the young age of six, he was sent with his cousin Serwyn to foster at the Red Keep, as companions to Matarys Waters, the royal bastard. They spent a large amount of time together, sparring in the yard together and playing the half a hundred games of children. His time at court served to only deepen his hatred of all those trueborn lordlings who would make fun of his bastardry. Resent shaped his mind into it's set position against the nobility of the realm, and even his own blood.

It was early in his life that the hatred for his fellow bastard cousin, Serwyn Waters, came out to the public. Sparring in the yards, the two found themselves on equal standing in terms of skill. Serwyn would always end with a quiet word of encouragement to his cousin, fanning the flames of anger that Alyn always held just below the surface. Alyn, on the occasion of losing the match. would throw his sword on the ground and attack his cousin with fists.

#### Knighthood and King's Landing

Given his martial prowess, little question was given to whether or not he would make a knight. The questions were held to whether or not he was honorable enough to hold himself to the vows. In the end it proved not to matter, as upon the cousins' return to Sharp Point they were both knighted by Ser Monter Marron. There was no particularly defining moment in his knighthood that signaled him becoming a sergeant in the watch of King's Landing. He returned to court with Matarys Waters following the tourney of 96 AC, a celebration of Ser Guncer Bar Emmon's marriage to Catelyn Royce. upon Ser Matarys' appointment to the command of the watch, he promoted Alyn, who had previously renounced his bastardry calling himself Darkwaters, to the rank of sergeant.
