## Ser Felix Hinterland

A young landed knight last born son of a minor noble and head of a cadet branch of his House.

## Early Life

During Felix's early life he was nothing special. Just another face in father's vast family. Felix was a quiet child. He didn't speak often and only learnt to speak when he was four years of age. He was neglected by his father. He was small and young whilst his elder brothers were already fighting battles and making Gascoigne proud. But he didn't go at it alone. His older brother Jeremy was there by his side. Even though he was many years older than him. They both played together and grew up together. That was until Jeremy left to go take service in Dragonstone. Fighting for King Stannis Baratheon. Leaving Felix alone. His brothers never spent much time with him and his father spent less. Felix's mother did, however. She loved Felix and Felix loved her. That was until Gascoigne's drinking problem drove her over the edge. Life for Felix's mother wasn't easy. She barely slept, was beat when Gascoigne got drunk and had a panic attack from one of his bad dreams. Soon enough was enough. And she flung herself from the roof of the Lodge. Snapping her neck and breaking her spine in three different places. Thus Felix's resentment for his father manifested into hatred. Plus the whole Lodge life wasn't appealing. His father told him he would serve as a sworn sword or travel as a hedge knight. Taking service under many different lords and knights. The problem was. Felix was never any good at serving. Or squiring. It looked to be a bleak future. That was until his father informed him that he was taking Felix to Batsgrace. To witness the tourney. It seemed that opportunity had leapt at him.

## Batsgrace Tourney

During the tourney at Batsgrace. Felix snuck away from the knight he was squiring for. With his armour. Ser Ian Dayne was in the arena and Felix was planning to challenge him. He wondered how good he could really be. And to defeat a man with such a reputation as Ser Ian had. It would surely guarantee a knighthood for him. He stepped into the ring and threw his gauntlet before the Master of Whispers. Turns out. The tales about Ser Ian's sword play were true. He beat Felix bloody and mangled the ill fitting armour. He got shouted at, beat and was forced to apologise to Ser Ian. That was when. Felix found a new master to squire under. Lord Daniel Youngflower.

## Squiring For Lord Daniel

Squiring for Lord Daniel Youngflower was fun as fun goes. Daniel joked, jested, and even drank with Felix on occasion. It was far more laid back. But it wouldn't last for long. Lord Daniel was soon bid for the Lodge for the great feast Felix's father was hosting.

## The Feast at the Lodge

During the feast of Lodge was unknown to Felix at the time the place where his life would change forever. After he was forced by his father to remove the fingers off Daven Yew for breaking guest right. He was comforted by a senior knight of the Dragon's Flame. Ser Tristifer Terrace. Ser Tristifer persuaded Felix to join the flame and become a member of that elite order.

## Service in the Dragon's Flame

Felix trained with Ser Tristifer during his service in the Dragon's Flame. Learning the ways of combat though not excelling in the practice of martial skill. It was quick for Felix to sniff out that corruption in the ranks polluted the Dragon's Flame like a queer illness. He suffered beatings and batterings at the hands of the corrupted members. After the siege of Balder Barraks Felix took some leave from the Dragon's Flame and used his earnings to purchase a small keep on the banks of the Honey Wine River. Which he named Ramparts.

## A Landed Knight

Felix enjoyed command much more than servitude. Ramparts was his little slice of that heaven. He had servents, commanders, soldeirs even under his finger to do as he pleased whenever he liked. Though he never abused this power. He had suffered at the cause of corruption and wasn't about to turn to their sake. During his rule, he was provoked by Lord Tarreth Gallion. Lord of the Reef and the Black Bastille. This small bout soon turned into the brink of war.
