## Biography

### Background

Garret's earliest memories are of standing atop the walls of Riverrun, his fathers holding onto him as they stared out across the vast and beautiful lands that he would one day rule. Despite being the first-born, there was never a moment in Garret's memory when he did not have a brother. Tristifer would come into the world only two years after his brother, and from the moment the boys could walk, Trisitifer was locked to Garret's hip. Wherever Garret would go, his brother would try to follow.

#### Ironborn Rebellion

Shortly after his sixteenth name day, the Ironborn Rebellion would ravage his home. Even all these years later, Garret still remembers his father's face when the ravens arrived. The ironborn had taken them by surprise, and Oward Tully would prove to be a poor general. Early into the conflict, his father would end up leading half of his forces into defeat in the Battle at the Crossroads. Ill prepared and poorly led, the ambush resulted in a massacre. Hundreds of rivermen fell to ironman axes and swords, in one of the bloodiest conflicts of the war.

Leading his surviving men into the forests of the Riverlands, the months that would follow would shape Garret's reputation for the rest of his life. Rallying his surviving lords and men, Garret set about planning an effective and cunning resistance to the sudden Greyjoy occupation. Garret commanded months' worth of guerrilla warfare against the ironmen; night-time cavalry raids, destruction of supply lines, burning of moored longships, these are just a taste of the actions Garret both planned and led during the war. And while it lacked the glamour and glory of some of the great battles to come, Garret succeeded where it mattered. However, within a year the war was over. Maelor Targaryen burned the Greyjoys, and brought the Iron Islands to heel.

#### Lord of Riverrun

Despite being mostly forgotten by the annals of history, some new renown came to their name. With this came new glories, such as his mother's placement as mistress of laws. In her new place of authority, Jeyne Tully managed to arrange a truly impressive marriage for Garret. None other than Saera, eldest daughter of Vaellyn Velaryon.

### *The Reign of Dragons*

Garret is having dinner with his family when he discusses the betrothal between Tristifer and Oraella Baratheon. Deciding that they can use the dowry to rebuild the Riverlands, and gain a powerful ally to rival the Tyrell-Stark alliance, Garret asks his brother to consent to the match. After Garret promises to try to beseech the king to legitimise Tion and Willow Rivers, Tristifer consents.
