Jonos Locke is the Lord of Oldcastle and patriarch of House Locke. He was born in the year 47 to Lord Robar Locke and his Lyseni wife, Lady Lysandra Ormollen. Jonos has ruled over Oldcastle and its lands since his father's passing in the year 80.

## Appearance and Character

Jonos inherited the Northern stoutness of his father and the Valyrian elegance of his Lysene mother, a scion of a lesser branch of the ancient House Ormollen. In his youth, radiant blue eyes and lush golden locks endeared Jonos to women while his brashness made men raise their cups and swords to him. Fiercely proud and unwavering, he came to be known as \*The Turtle\* for his actions in the 70 AC conflict over the Bite, where he gained a reputation for methodical relentlessness in matters of warfare, outshining his own father, then Lord of Oldcastle. As age wears away at him, Jonos strives to remain strong and vibrant despite the limitations of body and mind he is now faced with.

## History

In the year 45, the newly-ascended Lord of Oldcastle, Robar Locke, was wed to Lysandra Ormollen, scion to a minor branch of that noble Lyseni house. The Lady Lysandra was regarded as a fetching young woman in her homeland, but found herself celebrated as a supreme beauty in the comparatively quaint lands of Oldcastle. The reasoning behind the match has been a subject of speculation ever since, with Lord Robar insisting on pragmatism while Lady Lysandra insisted on mutual affection, and others suggested a myriad of causes innocent and salacious alike. Regardless of the hows and whys, the marriage was a happy one from the start, and after two years a healthy son was born, called Jonos by his father.

Jonos excelled as a warrior even from an early age. Born with his father's strength and a fair share of his mother's foreign beauty, he was popular with boys and girls alike in his childhood, and retained a natural charm as he grew into manhood. In the year 70, amidst the third great outbreak of conflict with the Vale, the young Jonos distinguished himself at the head of his father's host. Despite his brashness on the training grounds and in hunting parties, Jonos proved himself a methodical and unrelenting leader of men when it came to actual warfare. For his firm and gradual approach, his men took to calling him 'The Turtle', a name he loathed at first but which has grown on him as the years have passed.

Three years after the conflict, a dispute developed between Lord Robar and Malcolm, a wealthy merchant in White Harbor, over a horde of wool lost to a serious of unforeseen troubles. Owing to mutual stubbornness and frustration, the dispute quickly turned to a feud that came very near to seeing bloodshed. Instead, Jonos was tasked with travelling to White Harbor to make amends with Malcolm and his brood, a noteworthy family of merchants with a network of agents and partners. The heir to Oldcastle succeeded in restoring friendly relations, and returned to Oldcastle with a bride; Malcolm's only daughter, Ysilla. Though he had not been fond of being matched to a commoner, and had only agreed when it seemed the only useful option, Jonos quickly warmed to his gentle, witty bride, and scorned the attentions of other women that normally he would have indulged henceforth.

Seven years after marrying, and with two sons and a daughter already, Jonos found himself holding the Keys of Oldcastle in the year 80 when his father passed peacefully. Since then, he has tried to balance the needs of his lands and progeny with those of his family in the immediate.
