Alesander Frey

Meria Frey

Ser **Alesander Frey** is a knight of House Frey and the firstborn child and only son of Lord Hosteen Frey and Alys Darry. The is the current heir to the Twins, his family's hereditary seat in the Riverlands.

## Appearance and Character

Alesander stands at an average man's height of 5 feet and 9 inches. He possesses a lean and muscular physique, resulting from hours upon hours of time spent in training yards and riding at the quintain.

His brown hair and blue eyes are a common trait to those of his house, much the same as those found in the Riverlands at large. He is a handsome man, a trait uncommon amongst his kin, and has from time to time known to use his looks to separate a woman from her skirt.

Alesander possesses a great prowess in his arms at the cost of his knowledge of texts. He is a failed student in that sense, known to hold ignorant views and seeing only one-side to every argument presented to him. This often causes him to be unconvincing in his manner, failing to persuade those around him when putting forward plans and ideals. He remains wishful in his beliefs, convinced that he knows best.

## History

### Early Life and Childhood

Alesander was born in 74 AC. He is the eldest child and only son of Hosteen Frey and his wife, Alys Darry. He has three sisters: Marissa, Corenna and Meria Frey.

As a boy Alesander showed early on that he preferred a wooden sword over the quill. He was restless in his lessons with the maester, often begging to abandon his studies so that he could spend further time in the yard. He grew fond of the castle's master-at-arms, learning all he could when being provided his martial instruction.

In his youth, House Frey had been honoured by their liege to foster and raise Hugo Tully, a son of Lady Agnes Tully, for five years. From 83 AC to 88 AC, Alesander and Hugo managed to form a fast friendship that would continue to bloom into their adolescent and adult years.

At the age of five-and-ten, Alesander was sent to Castle Darry to squire under his uncle, Harry Darry. He would spend the remainder of his adolescent years away from his home, returning rarely to visit his parents and siblings from time to time.

### Squire to the Lord Justiciar

Alesander was ecstatic, to say the least, upon hearing that he had been chosen to squire for one of the realm's most prestigious knights. It was through this that he learned the lesson of familial ties, and the importance blood played in both present and future relations.

His needed teachings became known from the onset. All that Alesander wished to do was to train with his favoured longsword in the field all day. He would spend hours and days on end, whether alone or with his mentor, practising his flourishes to the point where his proficiency became quite adept for his age. In doing so however, he failed to allocate his other time and dedicate himself to further learnings of wisdom and history. This ineptitude often caused disputes to arise between him and his mentor. Alesander refused and failed to understand the necessity of such monotonous study, when he knew knights to be valiant warriors with the sword.

### Battle-Tested

The realm erupted into war three years after Lord Darry took Alesander under his wing. House Lannister and House Tyrell rose in open rebellion against the authority of the Iron Throne, with Tyrell even proclaiming themselves as kings in their own right.

Now nine-and-ten, Alesander fought by his uncle's side in every engagement. He viewed it as both his duty as a squire and kinsman to ensure that Lord Darry's back was carefully watched. His other uncle, Ser Titus Frey, led the men of their house at the Battle of Tumbler's Falls, whilst Alesander fought under House Darry's banner beside his mentor. When the combined Riverlander armies were routed by the traitors, Alesander played a key role in carrying out the Lord Darry's command to retreat with as many men alive as possible.

Later at the Battle of the Goldroad, Alesander assumed command of the archery unit. Despite this battle being a loss for the loyalist forces, he nevertheless came away from the engagement with a better understanding of leadership, having rallied the men with crossbows and longbows to cover the harried retreat of infantry as Lord Tytos Lannister stormed the bridge over the Blackwater.

Following the war, Alesander continued to remain by his uncle's side as his leal squire. The pair of men worked alongside Lord Darry's rejuvenated justiciars in dealing with criminals plaguing the hills, bogs, and pine barrens of Crackclaw Point. This time around, Alesander was a great deal more successful in his endeavours, even leading some small bands of his own to deter and track the criminals and smugglers.

### The Return of Peace

Since the resumption of peace throughout the kingdom, Alesander travelled extensively by his mentor's side. His dedication and loyalty granted him the merit as one worthy of knighthood. As such, the Lord Darry blessed Alesander with the title of Ser after dealing with a group of bandit ruffians one day.

Now that he is four-and-twenty, Alesander looks towards his own future. The day is not far away that he will be needed to take over the leadership of the Twins. So, too, is the need for a wife and children of his own, though he has not the slightest idea where to look for a suitable companion.
