Lorent Hightower

## Personality

### Personality Description

Lorent is a person of Charisma, described as a very sociable person even from when he was a child. As the lord had grown older he had become more observant, Cautious and less trusting, believing not many within his House are able to manage the city or diplomacy as he could. Unfortunately, The Lord has been described as someone whose mind is very difficult to change. Atop of this, Lord Hightower is said to be quite religious, though the Lord’s piousness is one with its own limits, The Lord hasn’t allowed his piousness to get in the way of bettering the place of his House.

## Backstory

During a harsh winter for the Reach as snow had been falling furiously, the flame of the Hightower had burned brightly throughout the night as the Twins were born. Lorent was born to Lord Otto and Lady Alerie, the birth had obviously been difficult as giving birth to twins in this age was never something of ease. It is said that it had taken weeks for the Lady to recover and she had even had a few dances with death, though Alerie had lived on to eventually birth three other children later on. The two babies were said to be rather healthy though Maesters had kept a close eye on them for weeks after the birth ensuring their good health.

As a young child, Lorent often was found playing children’s games with his twin, Victor. The two had seemed to be inseparable, Lorent always wanting to be around his twin versus being alone or with other children in the Oldtown Court. While alone, Lorent had seemed to keep himself out of trouble as he had typically played quietly within his chambers, though Lorent’s innocent nature surely has not been permanent. When the kid was with his twin brother, it is said the two had gotten themselves in a lot of trouble, always causing more work for those around them, whether it had been the Guards or if it had been the servants, extra work had come to whichever person had the misfortune of being in the two troublemakers presence. Often did Lorent overlook the wards his father had in Oldtown, mainly only speaking to a select few children other than his brother, Victor.

Often did Lorent overlook the wards his father had in Oldtown, mainly only speaking to a select few children other than his brother, Victor.

In Lorent’s teenage years, the trouble he had caused with his brother had only grown and affected more people. From annoying his educators to his own family, Lorent and Victor certainly managed to keep busy, just with the wrong ideas. During these years, the two brothers had gone as far as to take their father’s documents before one of his council meetings and had decided to hold onto them. Lorent’s education had gone overly well with very little abnormalities. At this point in his life, his education had been heavily focused on Diplomacy and ensuring the Heir would be able to rule confidently after the Lord’s death. Additionally, During this time, Lorent had gotten the opportunity to attend meetings with his father and would eventually learn how to conduct such meetings. It was also during these years when Lorent had been betrothed to Lady Meredyth Redwyne. At first, his reception to the Redwyne lady had been riddled with neutrality as Lorent himself had lacked any idea on why she had been betrothed to him or why he had been betrothed at all and he certainly wouldn’t understand this until later on in his life.

Moving into Lorent’s adulthood, the Hightower heir had remained to seek out knowledge on how he should eventually rule Oldtown. While he already knew the basics of rulership, there was always more that he would need to know outside of just mere basics. Lorent had asked many questions to his Father and occasionally to others such as his Brother. Away from the worries of his inevitable inheritance over Oldtown and the Hightower Fortune, the young Hightower had a wedding that would soon be arriving at his doorstep. Within about a month, the wedding of Lorent and Meredyth had commenced and was soon consummated. It hadn’t been long however until Meredyth had become pregnant with Lorent’s first child and eventually the future heir of Oldtown and within a years time, He and his wife had welcomed their child to the world. In two years’ time, Lorent would ascend to the Throne of Oldtown upon the death of his Father at Kingslanding, with the specific cause being unknown, the tension and grievance created between the Hightowers of Oldtown and the Targaryens of Kingslanding has surely risen and will soon take its place amongst the two houses leading to bigger issues if gone unresolved.
