Leo Tyrell

Leo Tyrell - also known as Lazy Leo - is a member of House Tyrell, and a cousin of Lord Mace Tyrell, the Lord Paramount of the Reach. He is the youngest son of Ser Moryn Tyrell, the commander of Oldtown's City Watch. Leo is a novice at the Citadel.

## Appearance and Character

Having sly hazel eyes and ash-blonde hair which falls over one eye, Leo stands out from the traditional brown eyes and brown hair of his extended family. He is handsome and pale, and has a soft voice. Leo dresses in satin striped in the Tyrell colors of green and gold. He has worn a black silk half cape, pinned to his shoulder by a jade rose, and a half cape striped in green and gold. Leo prefers not to wear the links he's earned as a novice, preferring instead to hide them away in his room.

The arrogant and malicious Leo often gives mocking names to his acquaintances, and speaks unpleasantly of Dornishmen and Summer Islanders. He is disliked by his fellow students. Leo sometimes gambles at the Checkered Hazard, to the point of losing all his money and having to beg for drinks from acquaintances.

He has been trained to arms, and is known to be deadly with a bravo's blade and dagger.

As a child, Leo was described as intelligent and bookish, with a distinct appearance compared to other members of House Tyrell. Growing up at Highgarden alongside his more influential cousins, Leo was a known courtesan among the nobility of the Reach. After years of pampering among lordlings he slowly became more arrogant and lazy.

Leo considers his time at the Citadel to be a shameful exile, whereas his father Ser Moryn Tyrell sees it as a way to both discipline Leo and protect his family from court gossip. Leo carries hatred for his father, and his extended family, as he believes himself worthy to be a lord.

## History

Leo's mother was a descendant of House Rogare, a famous Lyseni banking family.

Leo Tyrell lived alongside his well-known cousins at Highgarden, enjoying a childhood of opulence and bliss. He would meet several young noblemen from the Reach at this time, becoming known for his arrogance. After growing up a spoiled brat, Leo would become lazy and proud, impatient and rude. His behavior was unbecoming as an unfavored second-son, as his elder brother already had a family and a knighthood, with guaranteed lands promised to him.

After a scandal involving his cousin Loras Tyrell, Loras was sent to squire for Lord Paramount Renly Baratheon of the Stormlands, to cover up their secret trysts. His father Ser Moryn Tyrell, the commander of the city watch at Oldtown, would eventually send him to the Citadel as a novice, in the hopes that he is taught discipline or even becomes a fully-fledged Maester.

As a novice of the Citadel, Leo would flounder his time at taverns, starting fights and drinking away his misery. He would befriend the young nobility of Oldtown, who usually grew tired of him quite quickly. He would easily gain 2 copper links within his first year in history and heraldry, due to his noble education at Highgarden. In the years since, he has only gotten 1 more copper link in politics. He is not proud of his accomplishments, and hides his links within his room.
