Davos Manning is the current Lord of Redshore. He has held that title for 45 years since the passing of his father, Archibald Manning, in the 85th year. Recently, he was appointed to be the new High Justiciar of Dorne. He accepted this post in part to ensure that the death of his cousin and best friend, Jaxon Manning, was not in vain and that Dorne would successfully transition underneath the Targaryen crown.

## Appearance and Character

Davos stands at an average height, 5'7" tall. His hair was blonde in it's youth but has long since turned grey. Likewise, his skin shows the stress of acting as a Lord for the last 45 years. One thing he has not lost with age is his piercing blue eyes that have been passed on to each of his children. He is not an imposing man and has an average build.

## History

### Youth

Davos was born to Lord Archibald Manning and his wife as their eldest son. It would not be long until he would inherit. His father caught an illness and quickly succumbed to it leaving an eleven year old Davos to lead Redshore. The young Lord relied heavily on his regent, and uncle, Benedict Manning to teach him the ways of adulthood and Lordship.

### Rosegold Rebellion

The young Lord of Redshore was nineteen at the time of the war that saw the West and the Reach rise in unison against the Crown. He marched with the Crown's banners proudly supporting King Viserys. Shortly after the Rosegold rebellion a case of Dragonblight runs rampage in Redshore. While Davos himself never catches the illness his uncle and mentor, Benedict Manning, is killed by the plague.

### Dornish War

Davos and his cousin, Jaxon Manning, head to Dorne to fight alongside the Toland's. Jaxon is slain outside of Sunspear which sends Davos into a state of depression when he returns to Redshore. Jaxon and Davos had been best friends since childhood. The Manning lord would not be given long to grieve before he was called into action once more.

### Kingswood Bandits

A group of bold bandits rose in the Kingswood and began to pester ships coming up and down the Wendwater as well as travels moving through the woods. It was in the 114th year when things boiled over. The bandits took a woman of House Wendwater hostage. The head of House Wendwater called upon Davos for assistance in rooting out the bandits. With the help of House Manning and House Edgerton men, called for by Lord Manning, the bandits were uprooted. Davos himself pulled the bandit captain from their lair and saw him hung along with every other member of the outlaw gang.

### Dornish Appointment

After the murder of High Justiciar Martyn Tarbeck, Davos was summoned to King's Landing. His years of loyal and unwavering service to the crown made him an ideal candidate to next fill the position. In addition to that, his cousin's death years earlier in Dorne puts a certain amount of personal investment in seeing the proper transition of Dorne under the Targaryen rule. He vowed to ensure that Jaxon's death would not be in vain and that Dorne would fall in line underneath House Toland and House Targaryen.
