Morgan Peake

Ser Morgan↵Peake was born in 105 AC to Lord Eustace Peake and his wife Lady \_\_\_\_\_\_, née \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.↵He has been separated from his parents from young an age and warded with the↵Tyrells at Highgarden. Over the years he has become recognized as skilled in↵whatever concerns the military. He is also known for his high degree of↵learning and his ambitiousness for study in all, but especially the military↵field.

## Character and Appearance

Being not↵funded by his House anymore since age 16, Morgan has to rely solely on himself↵for earning his living. As a consequence of that, he cannot compete in↵clothing, arms, luxury goods and lifestyle with scions of other, even relatively↵low-ranking houses. He has learned to make up for this by choosing a sober,↵near austere and demure way of dressing, focusing on easy to maintain black↵wools and blackened armour of a timeless design. Over the years, he excelled at↵“scraping by in the most elegant of ways” and derives great confidence from↵being “(apart from the servants and hard-working folks) the only man in all of↵Highgarden able to buy himself a bun without making somebody else pay for it.”

## Biography

The rule of↵Lord Eustace had been notorious since the way too young age he started it. The↵circumstances of the marriage to his wife had been difficult and much rumoured↵about, and ongoing problems with what was soon perceived as an either↵capricious, vicious or mentally impeded man were again and again noted. Marked↵by a pessimistic base tendency, characterized by a general negative outlook on↵the deeds of others and his relationship to them and highlighted by speech or↵actions of destructive (either self-destructive or towards the others), Eustace↵had been disliked by people around him from early an age. When the death of his↵brother Terrence, b. 78 AC, made him Lord at age 15 with no able regent to lead↵him, he was left to his own devices. The next years the Peake lands saw a rule↵marked by both superhuman ambition and deeply enrooted inefficiency of a misled↵child raised to never show weakness and never give up, but not taught much↵about life and social interactions either. While Lord Eustace has become a↵somewhat more efficient ruler by now, many people still describe the Peake↵lands in near continuous economic and social trouble. Mismanagement and↵corruption rule the lands and especially in the Peake castles, a somehow dark↵and tense atmosphere prevails.

When Morgan↵Peake was born, his Lord father was but 17. Three years later, his mother,↵suffering heavily from the rule of her husband, fled to Highgarden, taking Morgan↵with her. After a court suit, Eustace was able to demand the return of his wife↵and continued having children with her. Morgan, however, was kept at Highgarden↵and warded there with the hope of installing him one day as a more able ruler↵to Peake lands.

Over the↵years, Morgan grew close to the Tyrell children, but most of all to Lord Dorian↵Tyrell who became like a father for the young child.

In his↵teenage years, he was sent as a squire to King’s Landing and, among others, met↵Aubrey Rowan there. To the present day, Morgan strongly dislikes Aubrey Rowan,↵based on what happened between the boys during these years.

Knighted at↵age 20, Morgan returned to Highgarden to take up some tasks and duties there. Aged↵23, he paid his first visit ever to his father, mother and the siblings he↵never knew. It was a short stay, however, as Morgan, after soon unfolding↵difficulties with his Lord father, decided to return.
