**The Lanky Man**, some say he is a myth, just a fairytale parents tell their children to scare them into doing their chores. But no... No... **The Lanky Man** is much worse than just a myth or a legend or a wives tale, **The Lanky Man** isn't just real but he travels.

## History

Originally Ironborn but his past isn't much important, mainly because he himself can't remember, having gone senile long... Long ago... Some say he had fallen from a cliff on the Iron Islands and drowned before washing ashore, coming back only to be swept away by a high tide on a flat beach. Having drowned a second time, only to come back. That may have had something to do with the lack of a mind that he has now. But, perhaps it is just another story.

Apparently, in his early 30s, this figure can be seen travelling from place to place, but usually never entering any cities or towns, not even a village, but can always be seen travelling on the outskirts, especially as a silhouette in the fog. Few have gotten close enough and even fewer have ever spoken to, 'The Lanky Man'. But it is thought that he has much a... Frail, appearance, most of the accounts go the same way...

Those that have sat opposite him at a campfire can barely take their eyes off him, as he always seems on the verge of killing, though there has never been an account of him doing so. Though he often mumbles about secrets he should never know. Sometimes they're small like when he was once heard saying, 'Freyta fell down the well.'... It turns out, a small girl by the name Freyta fell down the village well he was outside of the time... She fell down the well years ago. But once he was heard mumbling the name of a royal's child which was only announced a week later. Some say that his drowned existence linked him to his God, and that is how he knows these things, being whispered to by the God of the seas... Perhaps this is what drove him mad?

His long fingers and frail figure accompanied by his towering stature, paint quite the picture. But there is one thing for sure... No 'The Lanky Man' always appreciates his sweets, which is most commonly heard as the method to allow yourself to sit in his company and listen to the rambles that he goes on with, maybe you will hear something about yourself you didn't even know? Or maybe, you'll learn something you never wished or hope to know... Something you could never forget, something you could only hope to forget one day.

## Personality Traits

The Lanky Man has quite the unique, set of emotional assets. Paranoid, fearful and easy to startle. The Lanky Man is like a dear in the woods when you step on a stick or a small child at the sound of a crack of a whip.

But all that changes if you manage to stick around, manage to share a campfire in the dark with The Lanky Man. Mumbling, never one to insult or to target people but his voice stutters and jerks back and forth in tone and pitch but there's something about it that just makes him sound like... He knows something you don't... Probably because he does.
