Alyn Fowler

Alyn was the second son of Lady Cersei Fowler and Aron Sand, a bastard of House Wyl. He was raised at Wyl by his father, alongside his older brother, Andros Fowler.

## Looks and Personality

Different from his sibling, Alyn looked every bit the Andal; with golden locks flowing gently down the back of his head, and the seafoam eyes of his mother. He stood two inches shy of six feet, though his build hints that he still had some growth left in him.

Since his youth, Alyn would prefer to sit in the shadows listening than laugh in the spotlight, which made him rather unpopular and was often laughed *at,* by others*.* He never quite minded, finding conversations an awkward thing at best, not to mention the fact that laughter is still laughter. The gods know the world needs more joy.

His quietness would accompany him into adulthood, remaining shy and reclusive. His silent calculating stare has been deemed extremely irritating by some people, especially his brother Andros and their cousins Alla and Alain.

## History

### Infancy

Alyn was a frail child at birth and left his mother just as weak. With no milk from Cersei, he was nursed by a dozen women. Eventually, when it seemed that he outgrew the frailty, he was sent to Wyl to join his sibling.

### Childhood (420- AC)

During his stay at Wyl, Alyn would serve as a page for Lord Wyl. This suited his character well, happy to be *praised* for his quietness, though he remained to be tormented by bullies, mostly his cousin Alain who despised their opposite personality as well as the young Fowler's place as the brother of Alain's best friend. Being 4 years younger, Alyn was quite helpless as training sessions with the older boy became spanking sessions, yet never once did he share the problem with anyone else.

Neither was he particularly close to any other child - even Andros preferred the rowdy Alain's company to this strange younger brother.

### Youth

Same as his brother, Alyn began his training for knighthood at the age of 12, under Ser Walter Wyl, who developed a certain fondness for this quiet grandson. Whilst being a fearsome fighter in his youth, Walter was now past 60 and paralyzed in an arm besides, thus much of the boy's training would be given to household knights as well as sessions in the yards with his fellow squires. His grandfather's lessons would be limited to a squire's duties, a knight's responsibilities, and tips for combat. "Be quiet and lightfooted," he would say, "the prey do not see a vulture or a hawk until it's upon them."

He would find his preferred weapon in a spear and begin to wield a long stick instead of a wooden sword in the yards, much to the annoyance of squires having to face him, and more than once they named him craven. Alyn didn't mind, amused by their frustrations. At 16, the age of manhood, he was given a real spear by Walter.

When war broke out, Alyn too was forbidden from leaving the safe confines of Wyl, yet nothing was said about helping his brother escape. In both of Andros' attempts, Alyn was there to steal supplies and keep watch.

### Skyreach

Cersei Fowler's execution did not affect Alyn quite as much compared to his brother - never having quite known his mother - though it did generate a hatred for House Martell. Ser Walter Wyl would follow that year, dying in his bed much reduced after a year of coughing and wheezing.

Alyn was with him in these last moments, and only left for Skyreach
