Raynald Lannister

**Lord Admiral Loreon Lannister** is the governor of Lannisport, having been appointed by his late brother, Lord Tybolt Lannister. Loreon rules from the Lion’s Hold, a small palace within the core of the city. He is married to Lady Amarei Lannett and has five children by her: Ser Raynald, Celyse, Ser Tywald, Jason, and Catelyn.

Being one of the finest seamen in the Westerlands, he has long been honoured with the command of the Westerlands’ fleet as Lord High Admiral.

Loreon is the most senior Lannister alive and a male pretender to Casterly Rock. Despite his senior rank, he has fallen in step as a leal advisor to Lady Tysane Lannister, harbouring guilt over her kidnapping and the death of her sister, Lady Tyana, at sea.

## Appearance and Character

Loreon stands at average height, at least amongst his Lannister kin, with a wiry, stocky build, honed from his years spent sailing and fighting. His fine features are weathered by the elements, whipped by wind and water, yet despite this he remains quite handsome. The blood of Lann the Clever runs through his veins, which is reflected in the man’s golden hair and his green eyes. His strong jaw is framed by a beard slightly more golden than his hair.

Calculating, politically astute and with more than a hint of ruthlessness about him, the Lord Admiral of Lannisport is a man of experience in matters both civil and military. While having spent most of his life at sea and developing the personality usually associated with seamen, infamous rogues as they are, he is still counted as a man as noble as any of his kin, able to deal with both the political games of the nobles as well as the dealings of the commoners.

Despite being a rather notable military presence, this does by no means define the man, as he also has an education in economics, mostly in relation to administration, albeit also in relation to shipbuilding, which is a hobby that Loreon picked up while yet a lad. Still, while having proved himself a capable administrator, the Lord Admiral's great fondness is reserved for sailing, which he takes to whenever the opportunity arises.

## Biography

The boy Loreon was born in 398 AC to Ser Tytos Lannister, the Heir of Casterly Rock, and his second wife, Lady Alerie Farman. Being a child, even a fourth child, of the heir of one of the most powerful families in all the Seven Kingdoms had it's perks - the young boy was afforded the very best of educations, though it seemed that his Farman blood ran hot in his veins as the lad took to ships as soon as he was able to stand, sailing far and wide with his relatives, visiting most ports of notes within sailing distance, even those in Essos on occasion.

This does not mean that his education was neglected, as he had many educated tutors and Maesters around him, especially when he visited Oldtown. As he got older, the mere sailing of ships was not enough to keep the boy's interest anymore as he also developed a fondness for the construction of ships, being oft found at the docks of Lannisport either watching the workmen at their jobs or even joining in, helping to build or repair the ships in whatever way he could, often disguising himself as a worker to do so, once he was old enough to do so, of course.

When he was old enough to squire the lad was given to Ser Tybolt, his older half-brother and the future Lord of Westerlands. The older sibling had never looked fondly on Loreon, being the spawn of his hated father and a woman who was not his own mother, whom he had loved. Nor were they much alike in spirit - the squire had spent most of his life as a free spirit, unburdened by the expectations of being heir, and as such was mostly left to do as he pleased, Tybolt, on the other hand, was to one day rule Casterly Rock. In truth, Loreon had never even paid much mind to his martial training, having found them merely a distraction in his youth, albeit now he was forced to train and train again. Though never growing to like the man, Loreon found himself at least respecting the man, even if neither of them ever liked each other.

The lad would find himself knighted and out of Tybolt's hair soon enough, much to both their relief, and back at Lannisport. Being old enough now, it would be no hassle to find himself a captaincy, being given command of a war galley in the Lannister fleet. He would soon prove his meddle battling smugglers in the numerous coves and crags on the Westerlands coastline, showing himself as one of the most able seamen in the West. While not off sailing, the captain could be found drinking with his men, paying visits to the townsfolk and oft as not wenching. The latter activity would cease, at least as far as anyone knows, after he met the fetching young daughter of a Lannisport merchant, Amarei Lannett. The courtship would be short, Loreon being taken as much with the girl's fetching looks and charm as by her powerful father's connections, and the two would soon marry. His rise in the ranks would be fast as the old Lord Admiral of Lannisport, and Lord High Admiral, was a passive man who was more than happy to delegate every task he could onto someone else, content to instead sample the local wines and women.

And so it would be that upon the retirement of his superior, the youngest son of Casterly Rock would be picked as the man to fulfill the emptied position, with his family name playing a signifigant part, albeit secondary to the man's own abilities. Some men might have grumbled, after all, Loreon was merely eight-and-twenty years of age and many in the fleet held more years of service, but he was liked among the sailors, the townspeople of Lannisport as well as his family at the Rock. Taking to his job in earnest, the newly minted Lord Admiral would throw himself into the job, gaining popularity amongst the traders, in no small part due to the influence of his wife's family, and would prove himself an able hand at patrolling the waters of the Sunset Sea. His policies at maintaining Lannisport were popular both among the traders and the townsfolk, having kept the taxes low and the order secure, both inside the city walls and outside, his status as a Lannister of the Rock easily cowing anyone who would dare try to cross him. The years of his admirality would prove themselves peaceful and prosperous, yet there was a war on the horizon, a war that would do much to undo our admiral's good works.

The War of the Three Banners would begin in Lannisport, and it would begin with quite a bang - the Firestorm of Lannisport would consume nigh on one third of the city, leading to the deaths of thousands. While Loreon would attempt to control the situation, he would find himself hard pressed, with his only capable firefighting force, the city watch itself, being the most hard hit by the initial flames. Conscripting the sailors and every able-bodied man, and many of the women, would prove itself sufficient to quell the blaze, but by the time the fire died down a great scorching mark had been left on the once proud and beautiful cityscape. Nor would this prove to be the end of the city's trials, as the war broke out and the city was soon put under siege, though initially rather fruitlessly. The luck would not continue, however, as in the second year of the war the city would be once again assaulted, this time cunning winning the day as Lords Marbrand and Westerling took the city by surprise, leading to it's fall. Loreon was able to escape, using his superiority in numbers to break through the opposing fleet - his kin, however, were not so lucky as they were forced to remain behind in the chaos, captured by the attacking army. Their fate would remain unknown to Loreon, however, and would plague him much and more until he could reunite with them yet again. Yet, for the time being, his fleet was left without a home, only able to prowl and skirmish with the rebel squadrons. Proving himself a fierce fight, the Lord Admiral would earn a blood reputation of showing little mercy to any enemy crews who would not surrender outright.

Yet soon there would be hope, as Lords Farman and Crakehall brought their fleets to bear, blockading Lannisport, an endavour in which they would have the Lord Admiral's hesitant cooperation. He knew well enough that his family may well be within the city yet and that cut off from both land and sea, the population would starve. Yet he had a duty and even his objections would do little and less, so he and his remaining squadron would settle in with the Farmans and the Crakehalls, blocking any entry to or exit from the city. The blockade would soon bear fruit, as the city mutinied and the erstwhile commander, Lord Marbrand, was murdered. Reentering the city triumphantly, Loreon would find his family safe and whole, and the war nigh on won as Lady Tysane returned from Castamere, having wiped out the Spicers.

In the aftermath of the rebellion, the Lord Admiral of Lannisport would be left with many duties to attend to - his city was in ruins, it's wealth much reduced and his own fleet having taken a fair beating. Many homes would need to be rebuilt, as well as the gates and walls that had been damaged in the battles that were fought over the city. The docks too needed repairs, and soon the quarry would be filled with the hulls of ships being built. The peasants that had found themselves displaced by the war soon found their way to the city, helping a ways to recoup the losses to population suffered in the war and Loreon would make sure that the Lannisport would be an attractive a destination as possible, lowering, or abolishing altogether, the taxes on newcomes for a number a of years. There was little lack of space at first, but the splotches of skorched earth left by the flames would soon begin to be covered up by houses and Lannisport would once again come to life.
