**Sir Korrin Sylver** is the second son of Lord Horace Sylver, the head of House Sylver during the late 15th century. He is character who appears in the first part of the first episode of *Wars Of Frozen Flames*, "The Feeble King", initially being a minor character, though he soon starts to become more relevant to the plot. At the start of the series, Korrin served as a squire under the rule of King John Koopa VI. His tasks included pouring wine and reading messages, though he was not very good at the former. Later on in the story he is married off to Lady Jane Phoenix, being her second husband, and the year after that he is granted knighthood by King John VI. He is shown to be a polite, determined and friendly young man, if a bit clumsy and nervous sometimes.

Korrin is based on Sir Henry Stafford.

## History

### Backstory

Korrin was born as the second child of Lord Horace Sylver and Lady Rosanna Python, but the relationship between him and both of his parents is very contrasting. Horace is stated to have always neglected Korrin, being very quick to scold him for minor things and often casting him aside in favor of his older brother Harrin, showing that Horace has never really thought much of Korrin and may even see him as a nuisance. Rosanna however was the complete opposite of Horace, being kind and loving toward Korrin at all times when nobody else was, which caused Korrin to develop a deep bond with her.

At some point, Korrin was appointed as a Squire under the service of King John Koopa VI, with his job mainly consisting of pouring wine on people's cups and reading messages. However, it's shown that Korrin is a bit careless with the amount of wine he pours, which in turn causes some of the other lords and the Queen to be irritated with him.

### The Feeble King

#### Part I

During the Loveday Feast in part 1 of "The Feeble King", Sir Rodrick Solberg talks to Korrin about Lady Jane Phoenix, who had recently lost her husband and needed to remarry. After thinking about Rodrick's words, Korrin talks about a possible marriage between Jane and him to his father, highlighting the fact that the Phoenix house is powerful and the Sylver house is wealthy, which causes Lord Horace to accept, but decides to make it a joint wedding by also marrying Harrin off to Lord Sigmund's daughter (who is also named Jane) because he believed that not enough people would show up for Korrin and Jane.

#### Part II

Part II of "The Feeble King" shows Jane and Korrin's wedding. Jane is unenthusiastic about marrying Korrin at first because it means she will have to leave her son James under the care of Rodrick once she does so, but after Korrin empathizes with Jane and tells her that he thinks it's unfair that the law won't let her keep her son, Jane starts to slowly open up to Korrin, with him promising to make her happy and try to visit James as much as they can. Later on, in the episode Jane and Korrin are often seen together, indicating that, so far, they are having a happy marriage.

#### Part III

Korrin starts to become a much more relevant character from this point onwards.

Korrin is first shown doing archery during this episode, presumably as part of a training to become a knight, all while Rose and Jane observe him. After Sir Jorgon Python tells Rose to pack her things and come with him, as per Rose's father's orders, being overly aggressive with Jane when she expresses concern for Rose and Lord Richard, Korrin comforts Jane, assuring her that Rose will be okay.

Sometime after this, Jane and Korrin enter the Koopa Castle, meeting up with Rodrick and Theodrick, with Jane being relieved about both of them being okay following their battle with Lord Richard Koopa. The four of them discuss the current events, only to be interrupted by a Parakarry, who informs them of King John Koopa VI announcing a Great Council meeting for the following day, which leaves Korrin feeling somewhat uneasy about the future.

Korrin attends the Council Meeting alongside many other nobles the following day, in which King John declares Lord Richard a traitor, and that they are planning to answer his imminent attack on Bright Valley to free his sons, Tobias and Rickon, and take out Sigmund. Not long after this, Korrin is officially granted knighthood by King John Koopa VI, being ready to take part in the upcoming battle.

   Korrin fights for the Kayenne forces in the Battle of Whomp City, mainly assisting the Solberg brothers. After some hours of battle, Lord Ghaston Thornton has his army shoot arrows at the Kayenne forces, one of which hits Korrin in the shoulder and injures him while he, Rodrick and Theodrick were trying to take cover. The battle is then won by the Sherbet forces, who capture king John and execute Lord Sigmund Phoenix.

## Appearance and Character

Korrin is a slender dragon Koopa with dark-yellow skin with a pale muzzle and chest-piece, along with a greyish blue head. He has short silver hair where the front is longer and the back is shorter, as well as greyish blue eyes and two sets of fangs that stick out of his mouth. He wears a silver shell with pale yellow spikes, which are surrounded by white rings, and a pair of silver cuffs, one on each arm.

When compared to his father or his brother, Korrin is a rather friendly and caring young man, especially towards Jane. He was quick to sympathize with her when he saw that being separated from her child because of an unfair law is causing her immense pain, and so he tries to do anything in his power just to make her happy. He is shown to be a very loving husband to Jane, being concerned for her well-being at almost all times.

Outside of this, Korrin is shown to be a bit clumsy, especially when it came to his job of filling cups of wine for the nobility, which often caused him to get yelled at, or when he's practising archery. But in spite of this, he still puts all of his efforts into anything he does, never willing to give up.

## Trivia

* In the original teaser of *Wars of the Frozen Flames* (Then named *Wars of the Flowers*), Korrin was originally named **Hector Stafford** where he had green hair and was part of the nobility.
