# **BIOGRAPHY**

Axell Florent was born the youngest child to Lord Axell Florent and his wife Lady Alysanne Hightower, born a year after his older brother and 2 years after his older twin sisters.

He was almost identical to the way Leo looked at that age, but he acted the exact opposite. Leo could never stay still, whereas Axell seemed to prefer never moving. He shared his elder brothers brightness though, although where Leo found the slow pace of the maester boring, Axell loved it.

Something the brothers shared in common was their mutual admiration for Florys the Fox, their ancestor in ages past, and both sought to emulate her in their own ways.

Leo seemed to be a born swordsman, whereas the younger Florent was anything but. Axell hated swordplay, he found it brutish and disgusting. Thus, while the Heir to Brightwater Keep began his martial training, the youngest child began his lessons in intrigue. Alysanne Hightower, wife of the elder Axell Florent, was someone who had long kept a list of spies in her employ, and in her youngest child she found a mind ripe for the knowledge of how to command armies of shadows that would carry their secrets to him. She taught him everything he was willing to learn, and he especially loved the art of sabotage, for while he was quieter then his older brother he had his own love of creating chaos.

In 302 AC after traveling with his family to Highgarden for Elinor Tyrells 12th nameday, Axell grew fond of the rose, and despite her being older she seemed to show affection for this silent young boy as well. Afterwards he traveled with his family to Oldtown for a time, but while Leo made friends with the Hightowers, Axell preferred to explore the city on his own time and do research at the Citadel.

When Axell's brother Leo chose to travel the realm from 306 AC to 308 AC the Silent Fox chose instead to remain at his home, and grew closer to his family because of it. He also chose to send out his first saboteurs to the surrounding areas to see how they would fare. And the young Axell found that he loved to cause chaos to the surrounding towns and villages, but eventually those became too small for him. No, he wanted something bigger. So he started sending agents to Highgarden itself.

In 309 AC Axell's father had a terrible riding accident that had left the old fox bedridden and in incredible pain. Despite the best efforts of the maester Lord Axell Florent died surrounded by his daughters and youngest son. When Leo returned soon that same year to find that he was now the Lord of Brightwater Keep, Axell promised himself that he would be a chief advisor and useful tool for his brother, and by extension his family. Thus, Axell was with his brother, going to Highgarden, a place filled already with his agents ready to spread chaos at his command. Let's see what the Silent Fox can get up to.
