**Lord Privatkanondono Kalukho,**or simply **Privat Kalukho**,is Master of Laws and a long serving servant of House Brightflame. He has served them since they released him from slavery after his escape from New Ghis.

## Appearance and Character

Privat is relatively short man compared to his fellow courtiers and servants. He attempts to keep his beard in check however, it grows back unusually quickly meaning the lower half of his face is usually covered by a thick black beard, with flecks of grey. His hair is usually messy and unkempt, covered by a turban or hat usually. As for his personality, Privat is a kind and caring man, but his past experiences have meant that he can be ruthless and brutal in dealing with certain things. He is able to remain calm and collected in particularly difficult situations and enjoys mental challenges.

## History

### Early Life

Privat was born in a small cove on the Isle of Serpents in the year 248 AC, to Koroxhar Kalukho and Lusala Kalukho. Privat showed not signs of being a promising warrior, instead spending most of his mid childhood with his nose in the books stolen during raids. His father was embarrassed and disgusted by this, as it defied family tradition, so he attempted to beat it out of Privat, brutally and mercilessly. These beatings left Privat scarred both mentally and physically.

### Life as a Slave

Eventually, Koroxhar had had enough of the embarrassment and shame brought by Privat upon the family, so disinherited him and sold him to the Ghiscari to be a slave. The journey to New Ghis brought Privat some of the worst months of his life. Being trapped below deck, sleeping in excrement and vomit, eating mouldy bread. By the time he reached the home of his new 'master' he was terribly ill. However, thanks to the kindness of the nobleman's wife and concubines, he survived, only to be committed to several more years of suffering, slaving away under the Ghiscari sun for a fat, cruel nobleman.

### Freedom and Service to the Brightflames

After years of suffering in slavery, Privat saw a chance to escape, leaping out of a window when no one was looking into a cart containing hay. Luckily for him, this cart was bound for the docks where he stowed away on a trader ship that took him to Lys. Once in the Free City, Privat went into hiding as his former 'master' offered a reward for his recapture. One day, he was cornered in a tavern by a group of men, with nowhere to run, Privat accepted his fate and went with the men. However, these men were in the employ of a nobleman of Targaryen descent, a Brightflame. This man recognised the his skills and took him into his employ as a servant. Over time, Privat proved helpful with the Brightflame's plotting and plans to invade Westeros, so he rose to the top of his Household.

### Time in the Free Cities

Privat, at the behest of Lord Brightflame, used the remains of the Brightlfame wealth to invest in businesses and other sources of income to help them stay afloat. This steady income allowed them to keep their manse and begin to hire Sellswords for their private army. Privat also employed a network of homeless spies, who he payed with food, in a number of the Free Cities so he could collect important information for the Brightflame cause. Additionally, Privat freed two slave boys who he recognised talent in: Makhan and Xalobhar. When Lord Brightflame's children were born, Privat helped tutor them in the ways of Kingship and Law. When the children's mother died, he helped manage the Household through Lord Brightflame's grieving and depression. Eventually though, Lord Brightflame passed away, leaving leadership of the House in the hands of his newly of age son: Baelor. For nearly a decade, Privat travelled with Baelor, then Daeron as well, around the Free Cities, seeking aid. It was during this time that, on multiple occasions, Privat caught Daeron bedding whores and other women, lowering his respect for the young man. Nevertheless, they were able to gather a decently sized army of sellswords enabling them to form the Forgotten Sons sellsword company.

### The Invasion of Westeros

Whilst the Forgotten Sons prepared to sail over the Narrow Sea to begin their invasion, Privat was in Lys, tying up loose ends and other problems that couldn't be left unsolved. He then made his way to Myr where he joined the Brightflame Fleet as they sailed across the sea to Claw Isle, to begin their invasion. Privat remained onboard the Brightflame flagship whilst the siege took place. After the island was seized, he took up residence there, moving to Dragonstone after it was seized. House Brightflame's relentless campaign of conquest continued for many more months, during this time, Privat remained on Dragonstone, managing the household there. He also travelled with Daeron to Meereen on a secret mission, before returning to Dragonstone once again. Eventually, once King's Landing was captured, Privat moved there, taking up residence in a small room in the Red Keep. However, his friend and former student, Baelor, was killed a few months afterwards, devastating Privat and the new King, Daeron.

### Appointment as Master of Laws

Late in the year 300 AC, Privat continued to work in the Brightflame household and the court in King's Landing. As the year came to an end, the Grand Maester received a raven from King Daeron, informing the court of all of the Small Council appointments. To Privat's surprise, the King had made him Master of Laws. He immediately took up the responsibilities the job presented and set to work on maintaining stability within the realm. He appointed Ser Zelos Wilder, former KIngsguard to the Mummer's Dragon, as Commander of the Gold Cloaks and Jaqhaeros Maloris as King's Justice.

## Quotes by Privat

**"***Freedom is not something I was born with. From the moment I began to breathe my father set about shaping me. And from the moment I first dropped a sword, I set off down the path away from Freedom and towards Slavery. I had to struggle to turn off that path. To be free.***"**- To Shiera Henning
