## History

Tybolt was born in the year 64 AC to Lord Paxter Crakehall and his wife, Joanna. He was born, a strong and healthy young lad, causing his father great pride.

From a young age, Tybolt never shied away from a fight no matter how stacked the odds were against him. Because of this trait, the young Tybolt would take many beatings from other boys in the castle, though he never revealed where all of his scrapes and bruises came from to his lord father. Paxter would hear the truth of the matter one day when Tybolt returned from his studies with the maester missing a few teeth and battered all over.

Upon learning why Tybolt was so frequently covered in bruises, Paxter decided that it was time for the young boy to begin kearning how to defend himself. Tybolt took to his combat training as many boys do, desiring to spend all of his time training in the yard, however, Paxter believed a strong mind tempered a strong sword arm, and Tybolt was forced to attend his lessons with the maester.

When he was 13, Tybolt was betrothed to Myrcella Banefort, a scion of that house. That same year, he was sent to squire for Lord Banefort. During his time at the Banefort, Tybolt kept up his pursuit of knowledge, particularly in matters of warfare, learning how to effectively organize soldiers, and give orders in the best way possible.

In 82 AC, Paxter Crakehall would die from a stroke, leaving Tybolt the new Lord of Crakehall. He was knighted by his soon to be good father before returning home to Crakehall to pick up his father's mantle. A month later, Tybolt and Myrcella would be married at Castle Crakehall. Their first child, Lyle would be born late that year.

Lord and Lady Crakehall would be blessed with three other children; Cerelle, Addam and Lanna. Life for the Crakehalls would be rather pleasant and uneventful until 93 AC when the new King Viserys was heard speaking ill remarks about House Lannister. Outraged, Lord Lannister and Lord Tyrell met with one another, and decided to rebel against the Targaryens. Tybolt was among the first to raise his troops in support of his liege lord and answer his call to arms.

Tybolt led his men bravely in the battle of Tumbler's Fall, his leadership keeping the bulk of his forces alive during the shirt bsttle. From there, Tybolt and his men followed the army towards King's Landing. Following the battle of the Gold Road, Tybolt and his men ruthlessly chased fown the fleeing Rivermen, ensuring that many of them could not link up with the Crown army. Tybolt and his men wuickly rejoined Lord Lannister and the rest of the Westerlands army.

Tybolt would assist in setting up the siege of King's Landing, agreeing with his liege lord that they would need to take the city quickly. Tybolt also counseled Tytos to kill the weakened dragon, Balerion. Believing that the death of the final drsgon would be cause enough for the defenders to surrender.

When the battle began, Tybolt was one of the first few lords through the walls of the city, leading his men gallantly. Once inside the city, Tybolt would omce again meet with Lord Tytos and urge him to attack the Dragonpit. Tytos accepted the Crakehall's urgings, and Tybolt along with many other bannermen accompanied Lord Tytos to the pit. There, the defenders used the flightless dragon to their advantage. Tybolt and his soldiers were to lead the first charge into the Dragonpit, though his younger brother talked Tybolt out of leading the charge, and took his place instead, while Tybolt hung back with Lord Tytos. This would come to be a decision Tybolt regrets for the reat of his days. The dragon was left unchained and able to breathe fire upon the Westerland army, wreaking havoc and killing countless soldiers in an instant. The chaos that ensued left many more Westermwn dwad or dying from burns.

The siege had failed for the day, and Tybolt and his men were forced to retreat with the remainder of thr Westerlands army. Shortly the failed attack, word would come from King Viserys that he wished to parlay. Tybolt believed that despite their losses, the West still held the upper hand over the Targaryens and thr defenders of King's Landing. Even so, Tybolt would join his liege when negotiations between the rebels and the Crown began, and eventually terms of peace were reached.

Following the war, Tybolt returned home to his family and held a funeral for his brother, Roland who had died storming the Dragonpit. While attending his brother's funeral, Tybolt made a vow to himself and his dead brother to never send another man into a position he would not send himself.
