## History

Vickon Greyjoy was born in 379 AC to Dalton Greyjoy and Asha Harlaw, the first of five children born to the Lord-Reaper. He was born blue and choking, but survived the ordeal. Vickon would later claim this was the first time the Drowned God protected his life.

In 388 AC, Vickon met Yssa Sunderly for the first time during a trip to Saltcliffe, when his father was meeting with the old Lord Yron Sunderly. They met on the side of a ship they both had chosen to hide away on. Their encounter was brief, but they quickly became friends. In 389 AC, Vickon was drowned by a Drowned Priest for the first time. He rose from the waves with salt water in his hair and red eyes, but alive. He would later repeat the process with Yssa Sunderly. In 392 AC, Vickon took command of his own ship, *Drowned Havoc*which he named at recommendation of his childhood friend, Yssa Sunderly. Vickon often invited her to go sailing and raiding together.

In 393 AC, Vickon Greyjoy found Yssa Sunderly standing tall but bruised over her brutish bully of a brother, Yrel Sunderly. With a grin, the heir to Pyke stepped over the beaten Yrel and congratulated her friend. From then on, the young woman was considered the fiercest of Lord Yron Sunderlys children. The fact only made Vickon feel more for his childhood friend. In late 394 AC, Vickon Greyjoy was confronted by Lord Yron, who was a close ally of Lord-Reaper Dalton. “Stay away from my bitch of a daughter. She has a lesson to learn” were his words. Lord Dalton agreed. Then captain Vickon set sail to spend one last night with Yssa before they were sent into their own exiles away from each other. Lord Dalton reminded his son he shouldn’t be traipsing about with “wenches” like Yssa, and how he should be prepare himself for a marriage to a high house of the Iron Isles.

Despite being told to stay away for many years, Vickon Greyjoy continued to hold faith he and his childhood friend would be together again, and continued becoming a fearsome warrior in his own right, spending the years of 395-396 to hone himself and his mind.

In 396 AC, Vickon was sailing on *The Crowned Galleon* when a great storm destroyed his vessel and its crew. Falling beneath the waves, Vickon soon awoke on a different ship, having been saved by their crew. Vickon attested the fact the he was the sole survivor as a sign the Drowned God kept him from all harm. This vessel however, had a far deeper story. The ship was called *The Iron Stallion.* It’s captain was a now older Yssa Sunderly. Alongside her was a man by the name of Carron Botley, her friend and lover(which made his blood boil.) Delighted to see his childhood friend, the woman he loved, he was brought up to speed of all that had occurred.

In early 397 AC, Vickon and Yssa briefly had a falling out, as the heir to Pyke felt betrayed that she had broken faith, as he had never stopped thinking of her since the day they were forcibly parted. This was mended however, when Vickon discovered the cruelty behind Carron Botley. He was very much like Lord Yron Sunderly and his son. His persona of love a false one. In reality he was a two-faced slime, wishing to use Yssa for his own ends. This was revealed when he attempted to rape Yssa’s sister, Jocasta Sunderly( who has already been forcibly raped once, but by someone far worse, though Vickon didn’t know this fact.)

In mid-397 AC, the two planned to deal with Carron Botley once and for all. Inviting him out to raid at the behest of Yssa, the ship *The Iron Stallion* sailed out into the open sea. On the third day of sailing, Vickon appeared in the horizon on his own *Drowned Havoc.* There, they seized Carron Botley, laid his crimes before the crews of both ships and had him tossed into the sea to drown. *The Iron Stallion* was then sunk.

In late 397 AC, the pair finally married, two destined lovers finally together. The same year, their first child was born, Urrigon Greyjoy In between 397 and 407 AC, the two reaved, raided and bore more children together. In 404 AC however, the two had a near falling out, when Yssa miscarried a child, causing a great breakdown to once again believe she cursed those around her with death. Instead of fleeing without a fight, Vickon stood his ground and refused to be moved. This proved to be effective. The reconciled several weeks later.

In 407 AC, at the age of eight and twenty, Vickon Greyjoy became the Lord-Reaper of Pyke and Lord of the Iron Islands with his childhood friend, lover, wife and closest advisor, Yssa Sunderly. That year, she told of the crimes of her father Lord Yron, and what he did to her sister Jocasta. In 408 AC, the Lord-Reaper sentenced Lord Yron to the same death as Carron Botley, in the same manner. No questions were asked about it.

In 408 AC, during a trip to Kings Landing, Vickon claimed his fourth divine intervention when storms destroyed three merchant ships near Stormbreaker Bay and spared him and his family. When the War of the Four Daughters broke out, Lord Vickon found the perfect opportunity to satiate his lords. Having been called by his liege to War, the Lord-Reaper of Pyke took the Iron Fleet to War. Arriving in 410 AC, the Iron Fleet engaged with the Braavosi. Lord Vickon and Lady Yssa led the fleet to victory after victory, chasing down or evading Braavosi fleets and raiding up and down the Narrow Sea. The spoils won by even the common man were so great, men took to calling Lord Vickon the King of all the Fishes, leading to him adopting the alias of “The Kingfish” in 412 AC.

During the Battle at the Point in 411 AC, Lord Vickon clashed with the Sealord in a cataclysmic sea battle. Here, he fought with his newfound belief that the Drowned God would keep him invincible. This was only furthered in his mind to be true when three times he avoided deaths that claimed several vessels and all their crews. Two times he was drowned in the battle and two times he survived to continued fighting. The battle was fought through a hard storm, in the mind of the Lord-Reaper and many Ironborn, a sign that the wicked Storm God tried to aid the Braavosi, but the Lord-Reaper was blessed by the Drowned Gods protection. During the War, his men saw little combat on land behind pillage and plunder that came with little to no resistance. Even after the war ended, Lord Vickon continued to raid the the Narrow Sea with the Iron Fleet, until a Braavosi armada threatened their spoils. After that the Iron Fleet returned home, with riches and plunder, the Lord-Reaper even taking home a Braavosi saltwife of Noble origins. In 417 AC, the Lord-Reaper, convinced he is utterly invincible to harm.
