Stefon is the product of Ceria Crowhart's affair with Aeryion Caeneris. He is the twin brother of Thomos Nethermark and the older brother of Keen and Lorenah Nethermark.

## Physical Description

He is said to look more like his mother than his brother. Jorunn thinks that he has eyes of spring. He has golden blond hair, it's short at the back and his bangs fall in his face. He is tall and muscular due to his training.

## Personality

He is much more docile than most of his southron company. He also seems to have self-control, he never expresses his rage and other emotions at inappropriate times like some of the other men. He says himself that he's not the kindest of his siblings, it can be interpreted that he comes close to Lorenah who he says is the kindest. But he's likely the bravest as he was willing to risk his life to save his sister and he killed the man who tried to kill her. He seems to resent his brother too, this is probably because his mother ignored the rest of the children in favor of Thomos who was destined to be King.

## Relationships

### Ceria Crowhart

It's implied that to some degree, Ceria and Stefon were close until she made Thomos her priority. He seemed blissfully unaware of his parentage. It's also implied that he was aware of his mother's true nature as well as the rest of his family, but his ignorance might have been because he didn't want to get them in trouble. In more recent times, while Ceria is shown to want him back, Stefon seems happier in the north and hates her with a passion.

### Thomos Nethermark

Stefon was always told to go easy on Thomos when they would spar as children, but as time went on, Stefon would grow to spar like it was real, in the hopes that it would make Thomos grow up, but every time he would go crying to Ceria. It seems that they hate each other now. As Stefon says he would kill Thomos if he had to.

### Lorenah Nethermark

Lorenah and Stefon seem to be the closest of all their siblings. He saves her life and he hides her from his mother in the north, refusing to go back south, despite Lorenah writing to him and saying she wanted everything to go back to normal. When she wrote in reply to him, just after their brother died, he cried because he knew that he could never give her what she asked for.

### Keen Nethermark

Keen and Stefon could have been close. Stefon is saddened by his death and considers it a mercy to be free from their mother.

### Orm Nethermark

While Orm wasn't Stefon's blood, he certainly treated him like it. He seems to have favored Stefon, this is likely because Stefon was a skilled warrior and they had something they could talk about. Stefon is a skilled strategist as well, which is probably why he was allowed to sit in on Orm's war council. It can be said that Orm left Stefon and Lorenah in the north because he saw the upcoming events.

### Aeryion Caeneris

Aeryion attempts to bond with Stefon, but Stefon only wanted answers and seems to hate his blood father.

### Astrid Locke

Astrid and Stefon are friends, they spar together and Stefon cares for her. He assures her that Darryk is alive and takes her to see her sister when Gulli is discovered to be dead.

### Jorunn Locke

Stefon is in love with Jorunn. But these feelings don't seem to be reciprocated. When they're together, Stefon seems to focus more on her than anybody else, which could be interpreted as an obsession. Jorunn sees them more as siblings than anything.

### Darryk Ravyne

Darryk is the one northman who trusts Stefon. They seem to pick each other up when they're down.

### Reed Glovelyn

Stefon harbors a lot of guilt for what his family did to Reed and his family. But they seem to be friendly with each other.

### Myke Blackmyre

Myke is Stefon's drinking buddy. He may or may not know of Stefon's love for Jorunn.
