Theo Flowers

**Theo Flowers** is the bastard of Ser Jon Fossoway, a scion of House Fossoway, and twin brother of Talbert Flowers. He has become a Roamer of the Night's Watch after being sent to the wall as punishment for attacking his own castle. He is eight-and-twenty, born 70 AC.

## **Appearance and Character**

Even bastards look something like the rest of their house, but Theo is someone you can't easily call a Fossoway. He has bright red hair, unlike his emerald eyes. He looks nothing like his twin, who is lean and tall, while Theo is shorter and thicker. Before, he wore colorful outfits, but now, all he can wear is black.

Theo didn't grow up with love and care, but rather disapproval. Whatever he did, his father would disapprove. His whole life of trying to get his father's approval has turned him into a pawn, with not much self-responsibility. After being injured in one of these acts of approval, he received an incurable limp, and a life at the wall. Now at the wall, he is finally starting to gain some self-respect and become a voice of the Night's Watch.

## **History**

### **Early Life**

Theo was born to Jon Fossoway and a barmaid in 70 AC, along with his twin brother Talbert. His childhood memories aren't happy ones, as he didn't even meet his father for several years. He and his twin were inseparable, always together. They grew up in the bar his mother worked at until they were 12, when their father, Jon Fossoway, claimed them as his own, and took them away from their mother. Jon wanted to make them his personal swords, teaching them to fight at an early age. He would make them fight each other, but their skill being equal, there was no superior victor. This resulted in Jon always being disappointed in one of them, which brought the twins closer together.

Unbeknownst to Lord Tytos, Jon used the twins to raid his own House's lands, giving the two tasks to rob the houses surrounding the castle. This was because Tytos' hatred for Jon, which resulted in Jon earning nothing from his House's gains. Theo and Talbert operated alone, so they almost never got caught. When they were caught, they bribed or killed the villagers, which Jon had no problem with. This led both twins down a dark path.

### **The Rosegold Rebellion**

When the twins were three-and-twenty, the Rebellion known as Rosegold broke out. Most of the Fossoways marched into war, while Jon stayed. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity, Jon sent the twins to raid his own House's castle, thinking it wouldn't be well protected. He was right at first, as both twins snuck in the castle with ease. Unluckily for them, they were seen sneaking in the castle by a farmer named Addam, who rode to the castle to warn the Castellan. Instead, he came face to face with Lord Tytos' son, Titus. Upon hearing this, Titus rushed to treasury, where he spotted Theo. Swords were immediately drawn and there was heated combat between the two. Talbert on the other hand, fled the castle, leaving his twin brother with Titus. Theo and Titus' swords clashed for a good healthy minute, before Theo buried his sword in Titus' shoulder. Titus in return, stabbed Theo in the leg, giving him a limp for the rest of his life.

Theo was taken to the castle's dungeons, where he stayed until the rebellion was over. He was questioned several times by Titus, but he refused to give up his twin or father, even though they gave him up. When the war was finally over and Lord Tytos had perished, Titus became acting lord until his brother Eustace returned, and in 93 AC, with the temporary power he had, he sentenced Theo to the Wall.

### **The Wall**

Theo did not fit at the Wall. He had no experience as a Steward, nor a Builder, and with his limp, he had no chance of becoming a Ranger. But Lord Commander Rodrik saw something in young Theo. He talked too much, so he decided to make the bastard a Roamer of the Night's Watch, a branch Rodrik created himself years ago, which was just a fancy name for the Wandering Crows. Theo was assigned to travel around the North with First Roamer Hugor, who was an ex-sellsword captain with the ability to convince even dying men that they were going to live for years. Hugor would take 5 roamers on a trip, and manage to return with 50 men.

## **Recent Events**

Theo eventually transformed his empty talk into promises and dreams, and with the help of Hugor, he became a master of the silver tongue. He traveled all around Westeros, except for the Reach, to hopefully avoid his old family he left behind.
