Septon Selwyn

## Most Devout

Septon Selwyn Serrett is a Septon of the Most Devout, famed for his travels abroad. It's long been said that confrontations with wicked and evil monsters during his travels left him aged before his time. Before becoming a Septon he was a knight and third in line for the Lordship of Silverhill.

## Appearance

Before his trips to Essos, Selwyn was the spitting image of a Serrett. Had had stood a few inches shy of six feet and had piercing green eyes and black hair that from a young age had already begun to show streaks of silver. Though he was by no means a muscled man, he certainly had kept himself in good form even after his transition for laity to clergy, making time each day for some small amount of exercise...That was all before he boarded the boat to Essos though, a fleeting attempt by the Faith to try and return the worship of the Seven to Andalos.

But upon his return he would not have been recognizable as the same man if not for that silvery hair and those green eyes, for he returned not looking like a man in his mid 50's, but a man approaching his ninetieth year. Old and rather frail, it was quickly spread that these changes had been brought about in battles against some wicked foe or magic of the Red God and worse. Soon enough this was confirmed by Selwyn as he began to preach and tell of his harrowing experiences.
