Culler Tawney

6' with straight short dirty blonde hair and green eyes the man has the bulky build of a whaler because he is an accomplished whaler with a thick beard stained with whale oils, he follows in his fathers foot steps and providing for his family and donating whats left to the small folk from the whales that roam the sunset sea.

## **Biography**

Culler Tawney is the elder brother of Cod Tawney, son of Calder Tawney and Buri Tawney nee Codd, husband to Sharda Tawney nee Sharp and father of Kadder Tawney, he is the current Lord of Nettlebank Bay and Captain of the longship Whalesbone. During his early life he and his younger brother both routinely went out with their father to learn the ropes of a longship both literally and metaphorically, at first he'd take them out into the sea to learn the ropes of the families secondary trade, whaling. When both where old and skilled enough though they learned the main trade of every Ironborn reaving, it's these years on the sea where Culler become an efficient seafarer (skill) and navigator (skill), and it was those years on the land that made Culler adept with a two handed great sword (skill). Calder's final lesson to his sons was given during one of the raids throughout the Riverlands during the war of the Trident, Calder was pierced through the helmet with a spear outside Seagard, leaving Culler to finish the raid, at this age though, the age of 19 Culler had learned to expect death on a raid, a family or friends death if not his own and took command (gift) easily driving back the garrison and returning with their ill gotten loot.

Now Culler rules much in the same vein as his father whaling, and reaving, giving those who are deserving of his prizes from both their share and giving the rest to the small folk under him, gotta keep the people fed. Culler is no politician, and he has no grand designs for the driftwood throne, but he is a follower of the ways of the Ironborn and now waits at Nagga's bones for the Kingsmoot to begin where he like many others will vote for the next Driftwood King.
