Steffon Dayne

Steffon Dayne is the current Lord of High Hermitage and the serving Regent of Starfall.

## Biography

Steffon Dayne was born to Lord Maric Dayne of High Hermitage in 336AC. As he grew up, it became apparent that Steffon was not a warrior of any noteworthy talent, instead preferring the classes of the court. Whilst Maric loved his son, it was obvious that he was disappointed in Steffon as he grew to be a young man.

This only grew when Davos, his younger brother, was born in 347AC. Davos was a warrior that Steffon could never be and was the pride of the High Hermitage clan. Steffon didn’t hate his brother however, instead he focused on his own worth. Whilst his brother would lead the men in the daylight, Steffon would work in the shadows.

It was assumed that Davos would be named the heir instead of Steffon, but when Maric died in 356AC Steffon remained the heir and now the Lord of High Hermitage. But Steffon was not an easy man to talk to, Savis was more of a Lord than Steffon, and no reasonable Lady would take Steffon in marriage.

Steffon was not a man of chastity, his regular visits to tourneys for his brother resulting in visits to certain institutions. Such visits had consequences as Steffon learned over time. Borros and Raymund Storm were born from the same visit with two different mothers in 360AC. Ellaria Sand came from a local woman who died from childbirth in 362AC. In 367AC Davos had a son, Joffrey Dayne, but this was overshadowed by Steffons action’s the previous year, with Duncan Waters being born and taken in by Steffon. Rhaegar Waters was also born this year, but it wouldn’t be until 385AC that he and Steffon are aware of his heritage and he joins his half siblings. The last of the Bastard brew was born in 368AC, Desmera Flowers the result of a visit to the Reach.

No one is entirely sure why Steffon stopped his visits to brothels, but after the arrival of Desmera, Steffon stopped his visits to the brothels and focused instead on his network. He celebrated the arrival of Robert Dayne, Davos’ second son, in 370AC with a feast. He became closer to his family, his brother and he growing close especially during the Dornish-Triarchy War. The talk of Steffons lust faded and Steffon became more known for his quiet presence and his efficiency in protecting his house.

In 390AC, Steffon stayed in Starfall under Alester Dayne's request, to watch over his dying wife and to manage Starfall until his return from King’s Landing.
