## Appearance and Character

A large man with long brown hair and a beard to match, Lord Arthur despite his size has never been much of a fighter and more often than not prefers to use his mind to put an end to a situation. Usually, preferring to deal with those who wrong him in a cold and calculated manner.

Those who know him often say Arthur tends to be a distant man, his introverted nature often leaving him wanting to read a book or two instead of enjoying himself amongst the masses. Though as expected of Lord Oakheart, he does play the role of a trained noble when required.

This introverted demeanor kicked full force when his fourth son **Luthor** died without being able to survive a fever during childhood, every time he saw his twin **Olyvar** he would choose to keep his distance as on his mind the closest he was to his son the most likely he would be to lose him, this developed a sense of inferiority on Olyvar compared to his siblings fighting for his father's attention, Arthur never speaking about his feelings to anyone but his wife leading to many misunderstandings among his children.

## History

Born to the Lord Donnel Oakheart, Arthur from an early age found himself drifting towards books and learning while his siblings tended to pursue the allure of knighthood and fighting. While it might seem rather harmless, Lord Donnel dislike that Arthur found more joy while reading than he did out amongst the knights, or people in general.

As he grew into a young man, it became obvious that Arthur would never be the Knight his father dreamed his first son would be. Though his mind was sharp and with it came benefits. Some that amazed Lord Donnel, especially as it seemed Arthur rarely forgot what he'd heard and always seemed to know what to advise his father to do.

As time went on, Arthur began to take the reigns of Old Oak, more so when his father grew ill. It seemed as if his sudden regency aided Old Oak to prosper more so under his command than his fathers. And while many dreaded the old Donnel's return, Arthur persuaded them that all the prosperity they'd received was due to policies his father pushed for while he was still in charge. But the residents of Old Oak thankfully never saw the Donnels return as he died in bed.

And as the years went on, Lord Arthur continued to run Old Oak with ease. Often pushing it towards betterment. That was until The Rosegold Rebellion where many rode to war in an effort to free themselves from the Targaryan poison that plagued them for years. However, it turned out to be a useless war. One which left the coffers running low and the smallfolk of Old Oak missing both kin and friend. All for nothing in the eyes of both Lord and smallfolk alike.

After that Lord Arthur has, for the most part, gazed towards Highgarden displeased. Unsure of just how well Gwayne can truly rule them of if the upstart Tyrells should even rule to begin with. Though he has kept those thoughts to himself.

Among his siblings Arthur was specially close to his little sister **Clarice** going as far as to visit her during her work as an educator of House Crane's daughters, the two would often laugh together with Clarice being particularly grateful to Arthur as he took care of Clarice's bastard Arwin Flowers convincing their father Donnel that he was still an Oakheart, Arthur always laments he and his sisters were not able to sway their enraged father after he learnt about Clarice's son perphaps she wouldn't be a Septa today if so, Arthur also resents Ser Gormon Webber for dying before being able to marry his sister cursing him even today.
