Jaremy Rollingford

Theodyn Waters

## ***(ARCHIVED - RETCONNED)***

**Ser Jaremy Rollingford** is the grandson of the current Lord Garrick Rollingford, and is the current Heir to Rollingford.

## Appearance and Character

Jaremy is of a rather average, but fit build. He has long, straight, dark brown hair that is usually kept in a ponytail, piercing brown eyes, and rather sharp features. He dresses vainly, and as some might argue, above his station, but he has no regrets in his choices of expensive and luxurious clothing.

Jaremy is something of a charmer, finding himself imbued with a natural charisma that he uses greatly to his effect. On the surface, he seems to be a well-mannered, honorable, and chivalrous man, but beneath, his ambition reaches no end. His arrogance and inflated sense of self-importance are well-hidden, and his extensive skills with both people and numbers have already brought him further than his grandfather expected, and have also brought him quite the coin. He holds few regrets about his ruthless and manipulative tendencies, instead using them to his advantage, though there were a few close to his heart that he mostly spared this treatment for.

At his root, Jaremy is a nihilistic man who indulges in his desires. He desires the carnal comforts of women to be sure, and yearns for a good wine after a day's work, but what he desires above all is status and power, and he cares not for who he has to step on to get it.

## History

### Early Life

Jaremy was born to Elston Rollingford, the second son to Lord Garrick Rollingford. His mother was a charming woman by the name of Anette Crawbrook, of a small knightly house sworn to Rollingford. Yet, his earliest memories would not be of Rollingford as his parents knew it, nor would it be of his parents themselves. A year after his birth, the Hook Uprising, in which Rollingford was massacred and burnt down. The babe was one of the few to escape alive.

Instead, his first memories would be of Rollingford after it was rebuilt, and it was a vastly different place than before, and not just in the layout either. The warmth of the castle had seemingly died, not improved by the dour demeanor of it's lord, yet it continued to push forward.

Jaremy did not have a childhood typical of most nobles. He had few friends growing up initially, though a fast friend would be found in the form his maternal cousin, Raymont Crawbrook, a boy three years younger then him. Raymont balanced Jaremy's ruthlessness and arrogance with pragmatism.

As for his grandfather, Garrick was a sour man, and the only version that Jaremy ever knew. The old man's lessons were exhaustive, but he imbued the vision and ambition for something greater within Jaremy. He took especially well to working with numbers, and by the age of four and ten, he had been gifted a small tavern in Yore in a rare display of kindness from Garrick, though this too served a purpose: to prepare him for much bigger challenges.

### Rosegold Rebellion and After

When the Rosegold Rebellion came, Jaremy was of six-and-ten, and still served as a squire to his grandfather. He joined him when they joined the royal host and marched down the Roseroad, fighting in the penultimate battle of the war of the war, the Slaughter at Bitterbridge. In the fighting, he we would be critically wounded, and was only saved due to the timely intervention of a healer who managed to pull him away from all the dead bodies.

When Jaremy returned to Bitterbridge, he would find himself plagued with nightmares, and this is when his biggest personality shift began to take place. His eagerness and curiosity, even if normally muddled by his ambition, had disappeared, replaced by nihilism and cynicism. He began to drink more often, and gave less regard as to *who* he indulged in.

By 95, the tavern Jaremy owned in Yore was turning a pretty profit, but not just because it was a tavern. It was always full, yes, and the drinks were somewhat decent, but it also served as a haven for smugglers, and more than a few barmaids were known to moonlight as prostitutes. With the surplus coin, he would build a proper brothel in Yore. A year later, another brothel would be bought, this one in King's Landing, and then two years after that, another. Just as his grandfather had years before, he had become a successful businessman, and he began spending more time in the Capital.

Jaremy has fathered three children in total, all of them bastards of whores in his employ. Rowenna and Lyra were born to one by the name of Sera, who worked at his brothel in Yore, and Theodyn to one named Talia, from King's Landing. He paid little regard to his children, but made sure they were cared for.

Only the future could tell what was to come.
