**Quentyn Oakheart** is the sixth and last son of Arthur Oakheart.

## Appearance and Character

Quentyn resembles his mother more so than he does his father. He gets his brown curls and blue-green eyes from her, and while he does have a more slender build, he shares his father's height. The youngest Oakheart towards over all of his siblings at 6'3. Making him just barely shorter than his father.

Like his mother and brothers, Quentyn is quite the extrovert. Those who know him and his family will say that he is by far the most charming of the Oakhearts. Always quick to smile and laugh with those around him.

He can at times be cold and easily infuriated, a trait he’d picked up from his father. But he rarely ever acts upon any hostile feelings he holds towards others. Quentyn prefers to wait and watch for a better opportunity. And when it comes to grudges, he’s more than willing to hold them for as long as he needs to.

## History

Born in 77 AC to Arthur Oakheart and Catelyn Oakheart (nee Peake), Quentyn would be their sixth and last child. As a young child Quentyn often lurked about in the shadow of his elder brothers, more often than not that of his eldest Alester. If he wasn’t around him, he’d likely be seen holding onto his mother closely.

His father assumed the boy was an introvert much like him. But as his brothers continued to drag him into their little shenanigans, the youngest Quentyn found himself becoming their mouthpiece. As the years went by, he began to grow out of his shy little shell and by his teenage years became quite charming.

By 93 AC, Quentyn had found himself using his charm and way with words to get what he wanted. Though it was much to his father's displeasure. It was also the year the war broke out.

During a secret meeting in Old Oak, the Lords Gwayne Tyrell and Tytos Lannister began to talk about a rebellion. It was also then that Tytos Lannister's niece was promised to Alester Oakheart. And before they knew it, the Oakhearts and the rest of the Reach began to march for war.

Quentyn was still a squire but he marched alongside the rest of his father's forces and much of the Northmarchers to Bitterbridge. Little did they know that before long they'd partake in the bloodiest battle throughout the whole war. The battle of Bitterbridge came when the newly crowned King Gwayne brought the rest of his army to the keep and waited for the Targaryen forces to attempt a crossing.

The Oakhearts fought valiantly alongside the walls the first two days, Alester and Olyvar seemingly helping their youngest brother countless times. Until the siege reached its third day, Alyn Oakheart, the middle child, died along the walls. Lord Arthur barely dragged his boy and his two other sons away from the walls, though he ordered his heir Alester and Olyvar back, he told his youngest to keep away from the walls, fearing he too would fall. While the Lord sat heartbroken beside his fallen son for a handful of days.

But Quentyn rejoined the men against his father's wishes and fought on, where he watched his uncle Colin and younger cousin Wallace perish. Thankfully the battle came to a close before more Oakhearts fell, though it is still a day that the young Quentyn still vividly recalls. The sight of so many dead, the smell and the fact that he and his surviving brothers were granted knighthood for their actions while the rest of their kin died, forever haunts him.

Yet no matter how hard the teen wanted the war to end, neither side had yet surrendered. And so he rode beside his eldest brother as they charged over into the Crownlands, chasing after the retreating King. Before another brutal battle was fought, the Tyrells and Lannisters seemingly 'surrendered'.

While Quentyn was rather glad that it had all came to an end. His father found himself rather irritated and rightfully angered by his 'Kings' actions. He thought they'd fought the war to free themselves yet the Tyrell gave in after being rewarded a few seats in the Small Council and a promise.

As they returned home, Quentyn and his brother Olyvar found himself somewhat unsettled at home. After Olyvar was wed to a Crakehall and Alester to the Lannister. The two brothers moved to the capital for a few years.

Quentyn only stayed there for a year before returning to the Reach, where he began to travel across his homeland. He'd even ventured into portions of Northern Dorne though not for too long, given just how much the young man's people despised the Dornish.

But he returned home once word reached that another one of his brothers perished in 96 AC. Leo Oakheart a man who married Florence Tyrell, disappeared at sea and was declared dead. Following that Quentyn decided to move home to be with his family more often. And to watch his nieces and nephews find young children. Especially the child of Alyn Oakheart, his elder brother who perished at Bitterbridge, a year after siring a young girl Patricia Flowers.

Not long after he would meet his future partner on one of his mother's balls in Old Oak, Arwyn Roxton was an unconventional beauty with passions far removed from the interests of other ladies known by Quentyn, it would be escaping the boring affair that she found Arwyn with her lustrous black hair drawing the oak that have given their hold a name so long ago, from there on the two would enter a long courtship of several years travelling across the continent for Arwyn to paint any beauty they came across, for Quentyn this would be a true eye opener as he had only interacted with the world through the eyes of war and hatred this experience truly shaping him as a different man.

Before any of them could realise time had passed and Lord Roxton as well as Quentyj's own mother would pressure the two to marry before any surprises come up and so on the Ring the castle Arwyn has always called home the two tied their future together.

Not long after his four beautiful daughters would come up, inheriting their mother's temper and wild beauty, the first one Florys named after Arwyn's own mother and the last Catelyn after his own.
