Corwin Caron

Lia Tarly

Leyla Connington

### Character and Personality

Corwin is the secondborn son to Armond and Baela Caron. While his older brother found his home in the various libraries of the Stormlands, Corwin trained under his Uncle Edric as well as his father in order to carry on Armond's legacy. Having seen in Clyve more of his mother than himself, Armond poured his martial tradition as well as knowledge of combat on to Corwin while he sent Clyve to be the diplomatic tie to various Houses of the Stormlands.

Much to Armond's surprise, both Clyve and Corwin excelled at martial endeavors, and found their bond through warfare despite being separated for much of their youth. Initially envious of his older brother's title, he coped by allowing himself to do things that the future Lord of Nightsong would never be allowed to do like sneaking out to go on trips to various lordships in the Reach nearby as well as develop a reputation for flaunting his wealth and status whenever it benefited him. Despite his arrogance, it seems that he found contentment once meeting his beloved, Jocelyn Dondarrion, who suited his dauntless attitude with a fiery personality of her own.

### History

After being tutored by his uncle, Corwin saw his first battle as a squire under the tutelage of his uncle Edric. At just seventeen, the hotheaded Caron watched his mentor diligently and soon found himself acting on his intuitive hunches as he protected his older brother from any danger. Though young and brash, the young Caron cemented his place and proved to his father that he could be what Clyve could not. Whereas Clyve often discussed battles from a theoretical standpoint, Corwin was the Caron in the tents with the fellow men. Men that were farmers, miners, and smiths normally came to see him as a future face that they could count on to understand their needs and offer them a drink rather than staying with the rest of the nobility. Years later, Clyve would learn this valuable lesson and use it to understand his people more, especially those sworn to answer a call to war.

Following the Fourth Dornish War, Corwin found himself making friends just as his brothers had begun to. While several friends were made in the small tourneys that followed 83, the most significant of his friends happened to be a young Arlan Fell, who gained notoriety across the whole of the Stormlands for his excellence in archery; something that Corwin admired due to the simple fact that he could never get the hang of it. With Arlan aiming for the purse of the Archery face-off and Corwin seeking to win the melees, the duo traveled from the Rainwood all across the Crownlands seeking a winner's purse and a girl to warm them at night.

In 87, upon returning from Tally Hill, Corwin and Arlan came across several burning settlements along the Wendwater. Tracing these south, the duo discovered a sizable force of bandits that had set up a small headquarters in a cave inside the Kingswood. After a brief meeting back at Felwood, the two came back with the banners of House Fell at their backs and wiped out the brigands just before dawn. As they were able to save several that had been kidnapped as well as restore the stolen goods to the villages, Durren Fell saw this oppurtunity fit to knight his son's good friend as well as his son. Both are still known to the commonfolk as the "Wolves of the Wendwater" and talk of how they struck so true that it was rumored that some of the outlaws ran assuming the screams of their friends to be from wolves attacking. Corwin returned home with tales of his heroic deeds and won the esteem of his family for his heroism. It was this moment that he began to learn prayers to the Warrior and began to invoke him before every battle.

In 93, Corwin would seek his newfound faith with a heavy heart after hearing the declaration of the rosegold rebellion. Although pensive and heartbroken, the young knight would serve his Lord Paramount honorably and aided in the victory of the Battle of the Blue Burn alongside his older brother. Despite having familial ties to both Peake and Tarly, the young Caron still harbors a covert hatred for Reachmen and has buried a deep abhorrence for the King that sparked the war as well.

Since then, Corwin has aided in protecting his brother throughout the transition of becoming Lord and has held his tongue concerning Clyve's pacifist attitude...for now.
