## History

**Mors Sand** was born in 283 AC in King's Landing. One of the High Septon's numerous bastard sons. He claims to have been delivered in the Sept of Baelor at night. As a young man Mors was seen as a highly astute young boy, who was able to grasp reading and writing exceptionally fast, he had all the trappings of a scholar, though that wasn't to say he was without flaw. Growing up, Mors struggled to control his anger, he was known to have a quick temper, set off by even minor inconveniences or slights, often leading to him lashing out in anger.

When he was was only 11 his father sent him to live in Oldtown and study at the Citadel to become a Maester. While in Oldtown, bored with his studies and in need of coin for trips to the tavern, theatre, and brothel, Mors took it upon himself to begin some amateur, illicit, mercantile pursuits. He began sneaking into the higher chambers of the Citadel and stealing supplies. Bottles of alchemical fluids, scrolls, pens, parchment, anything. He was able to rake up a sizeable sum of wealth and friends (mercantilist), including one of the many bastards of Osric Dayne, before eventually being caught by the Maesters, who had him expelled. Not wanting to return to King's Landing completely empty handed, he pulled some favours among those in Oldtown he had become associated and was able to coordinate the robbery of a wealthy brothel in Oldtown. Returning to King's Landing with new friends and wealth, Mors wasted no time in searching for opportunities to establish himself in King's Landing.

It wasn't long before he had learned that a wealthy merchant had drowned in Blackwater not long before he arrived, and with no heirs or indication of inheritance, his holdings were up for grabs, he was able to use his money from Oldtown, as well as some money he had lent from his father to purchase these holdings. Not long after, he was approached by a group of people who gave him an offer: a cut of his profits in exchange for "protection". Mors arranged for many of the people in this group to be killed over the course of many weeks, and those who were spared were given the option to join Mors' group of associates.

Over the next few years Mors slowly accumulated wealth and resources through his holdings and band of associates, who had come to call themselves "The Rakes" of "The Blackwater Rakes" (inspired by some players some of the group's members had seen). He began running favours for his father, eliminating those who challenged his position of Septon and other political enemies.

## The Blackwater Rakes

The Blackwater Rakes is a criminal organization operating in King's Landing under the leadership of Mors Sand. It is comprised of those who followed Mors after his exile from the Citadel and move to King's Landing, and those who joined his group either willingly or through coercion when Mors was purchasing property in King's Landing and eliminating rival gangs and rackets. Those who were original members are sometimes referred to as "The Tower's Men" referring to the Citadel of Oldtown. The Rakes' name was thought up by some its later members, having seen a show some players had put on the night before and becoming with the dramatic term "Rake".
