Steffon Peake

Lord of Whitegrove

Ser

Whitegrove

Steffon Peake is the current head of House Peake, and lord of Starpike, Dunstonbury and Whitegrove. He is the firstborn son of Lord Terrence Peake and his wife, Lady Naerys Velaryon.

## Appearance and Character

Steffon is tall, with fairly long brown hair and green eyes. He is clean shaven. When the occasion calls for it he'll wear doublets or other finery bearing the colours of his house. One more commonly finds him in simple, martial riding garb, however. In battle he wears a fine suit of plate armour, enamelled to a deep orange.

In terms of personality, Steffon is not unlike many young men who were blessed with handsome features and for whom skill at arms comes easy. He is brave and strong, and quick to smile. And while neither the proudest nor the prickliest of men, he cannot be said to be altogether humble either. While not without wits or charisma, he is more prone to solve problems with a weapon or a fist than with words. All in all he is well-meaning, and eager to prove himself.

## History

### Early Life

On a warm summer's day in the fifth moon of the 109th year after Aegon's Conquest, Lord Terrence Peake's union with Lady Naerys Velaryon received a blessing from the Mother Above in the form of their firstborn son: a strong boy with piercing green eyes and a shock of brown hair, whom they named Steffon. Two years later Lady Naerys was once again taken to childbed, giving birth to the twins Addam and Rylene.

Growing up, Steffon was a lively but well-mannered child, who enjoyed riding, hunting and training with other squires in the yard. At an early age he was discovered to have an aptitude for the lance, something that his father and his master-at-arms were eager to develop. Likewise, it was found that his strong arm was suitable for blunt weapons. And thus, when not on horseback, it was with a mace he trained.

Overall, close as he was with his parents and siblings, Steffon's childhood was a happy one. Alas, such bliss cannot last forever.

### A Lord Too Early

In 125 AC, Steffon turned six-and-ten, and in celebration of his heir's ascent to manhood, Terrence held a small tourney at Starpike. Through the dust and the din, Steffon himself emerged victorious and was knighted for his achievement.

A few days later, Terrence and his sons, along with a healthy number of retainers, rode out from Starpike on a hunt. During that hunt, a stray quarrel struck Lord Terrence in the back. He was brought back to Starpike for medical attention. His lordship lingered for five days, but ultimately, despite his maester's best efforts, he passed away. Leaving Steffon, a knight for nary a week, as the new head of House Peake.

### Recent events

Since his father's death and his ascension to lordship, Steffon has mostly stayed at Starpike, albeit with regular visits to his other two castles. In his splendid little isolation, he honed his skill at arms and his skill at ruling. He also oversaw the knighting of his brother (and current heir) Addam in 129 AC, when he turned 18.

Now, with the coronation of the new king, he has finally bestirred himself from his domains.
