Lucas Whent

## Personality

### Personality Description

Because of their origin House Whent has many knights among the family and in their household, this has led Lucas to become Brave, Daring, and fairly Honorable because of the traditions of Warriors and Chivalry being taught to him since birth. Further, Lucas is very Intelligent and quite Shrewd at times this is not just because he was born gifted but because his father has spent no expense at giving him a strong education with very intelligent and skilled tutors teaching him. Lucas has also become very calm and collected in tough situations thanks to his Uncle and his Father that taught him not to panic as that does nothing and trained him to think on his feet. Lucas has become very ambitious like his father as he wants to increase the standing of House Whent rapidly as a number of the older and more powerful families see them as upstarts due to the origin of how his house became Lord’s of Harrenhal. However, their house's origin as knights and how they became Lords of Harrenhal has been taught to Lucas since birth and he’s become very prideful of it and prideful in general. This can make Lucas seem arrogant at times. Although despite the Lothston’s supposedly doing Black Magic the young Lord Lucas doesn’t believe it for a second as he thinks that’s just Superstitious nonsense. Also despite being fairly ambitious the young Lord has grown to be fairly conservative or as some would say fairly careful in his military tactics and his politics. Lucas has also like his father became obsessed with restoring Harrenhal to greatness and that has caused him like his father to invest in projects restoring the Fortress one hall or one tower or part of a wall at a time.
