## biography

### Early life

Robert Ursidae was born in 96 AC to unknown parents. He was sent to Corlys Velaryon when he was 9, by his father who was a supposed friend of Corlys, to be taught how to run a ship.

When he was 16 he began messing around with Lord Corlys's daughter Lady Laena Velaryon, and one night he was in Lady Laena Velaryon's chamers fooling around when her father Lord Corlys caught them in the act. Corlys was rather calm and instead of killing the young boy he asked his daughter "Laena my daughter do you love this young man" and when Lady Laena looked up at her father, she looked him in the eye and said "Yes father I do". In that moment Corlys pulled out a paper and had Robert sign it.

The paper said *Ser Robert of Driftmark, you are here by married to to Lady Laena Velaryon daughter of Lord Corlys Velaryon and princess Rhaenys Targaryen. And are now Lord of the Island southwest of Driftmark which you can name what you so please. You are also a member of the Velaryon family until you come up with a sigil, House name, and words.*
Signed, Corlys Velaryon*.*

This paper made him a the husband of Laena and a Noble Lord.

### Life as a Lord

After he was married he and Laena moved their household to the Island which he named Dog Isle and builds a Castle and small port which share the name Red Harbor. He begins his early Lordship trying for a son and eventually in 118 AC they have their first child a son and heir named Corlys Ursidae after his maternal grandfather Corlys Velaryon.

After the birth of his son, Robert begins setting up trading routes to help his newly found small town of Red Harbor by sending ravens to Oldtown, Kings Landing, Lannistport, Gulltown, and Storms End.

In 120 AC Robert's wife dies giving birth to their third child a daughter named Farla Ursidae. Robert is rumored to have been so depressed he swore he'd never take another wife and became chased. Though his wife had died he continued his work to make his newly found house one of the wealthiest in all of Westrose.

## War for Crackclaw Point

In 119 AC Lord Robert tried to make a trade rout to Crackclaw Point but House Celtigar refused to allow Robert to make the route. In return Robert gave House Celtigar one warning to either allow Robert the right to make the route or in Robert's word "The dog will bear his fangs in your neck". In stead of allowing Robert the right he rose banners in war.

Robert only had a force of 12 men and decided to call his father-in-law Lord Corlys Velaryon to help his efforts in the war Corlys sent 1,000 men and 10 ships. Robert made his sigil and had it put up all over his banners that were formerly white. He made his close friend Laenor Velaryon to lead 500 hundred of his men in war.

Laenor, his dragon,and his half of the army went straight to Claw Island and went into war. Robert and his half joined and after the Battle of Claws, every House in Crackclaw Point bends the knee and accept you has their Lord. After the war, you are officially made Lord of Crackclaw Point and have your last child a daughter you name Farla Ursidae, unfortunately your wife doesn't recover and dies in child birth. And in 148 AC Robert died of illness leaving his lands and titles to his son Corlys Ursidae.
