Jason Bracken was born in 386 AC, the third child and second son of Lord Benarr Bracken and Lady Marissa Bracken. When the previous steward, Jonos Bramble ,died in 404 AC due to a chill, Jason took on the stewardship of Stone Hedge. He was made Lord of Stone Hedge in 407 AC, when his brother was exiled and attainted of his lands and titles.

## Appearance and Character

Jason is slimmer and shorter than his brother, and keeps his hair short and close. he has the hint of a goatee, but keeps the rest of his facial hair shaved, as if to to distinguish himself furthur from his martial, permentantly unshaven brother. He takes great pride in his appareance, particularly his clothing, and so is almost always dressed immaculately, shipping fine clothes from all over the seven kingdoms.

Unlike his brash brother and willfull sister, Jason is more reserved, more interested in numbers and books than riding and swordplay. He is quieter, but has a quick wit. Jason is charismatic, but has been described as intense.

## History

Jason was born to Benarr and Marissa in 386 AC. From an early age, Jason was far more interested in hawking, reading and writing than the martial arts. His father attempted to instruct him the fine and noble tradition of riding and jousting, but Jason was not only disinterested, but also noticeably untalented. Benarr was said to have despaired of Jason ever being a warrior, and had put his martial hopes on Lyle instead.
Jason was said to have sided with his siblings against his father, but because he was of a more studious bent, he had no real way of resisting his father’s will.  Jason disapproved of the two betrothals that Benarr attempted to make of Sarya, but between Sarya and Lyle, he had little way of helping.

## Recent Events:

### The Scarlet Winter:

It was in 403 AC that Jason himself was betrothed to one of the Bracken’s vassals, a woman said to be ten years Jason’s senior, but with a hefty dowry.
The marriage was not to be however, as a month after, Benarr Bracken was thrown from his horse, and later died of his injuries. When Lyle returned from Harrenhal and came into his lordship he quickly put an end to the betrothal, to the disappointment and ire of their vassal.
In 404 AC, their former steward, who Jason had spent a great deal of time learning under, died of a chill, and from then on Jason took on his duties.

### The Aftermath of the Black Dragon:

In 407 AC, Jason Bracken rose to the position of Lord of Stone Hedge when his brother Lyle was sent into exile, stripped of his titles and lands. Jason Bracken rode with Lord Damion Tully, his cousin, commanding part of his army against the vale invaders. He lifted the siege on Lord Harroway's Town, reclaiming his men and returning to Riverrun to free his sister.

It was in 410 AC that Jason Bracken wed, marrying the lovely Doreah Hunter, whom he had met at his cousin Amerei's wedding prior. Their wedding was a grand affair, a beautiful ceremony in the Riverlands, with many Riverlords in attendance.

Jason spent most of his lordship travelling, visiting Castle Darry as well as Seagard to see his family. In his later years, it was said that he and his sister's relationship had improved, as he began to pay the occasional visit to Raventree Hall as well. In his absence his uncle and castellan, Lothar Bracken, took care of the castle,

From 413 AC till 417 AC, Jason Bracken was a staple at the Riverrun court, often riding between Riverrun and Stone Hedge, offering advice and counsel.

Jason's family also grew, his marriage to Doreah Hunter proving fruitful. The two of them had four children together, three girls and one boy.
