Dalton Goodbrother

Son of the Kraken and Hammer

Harras reborn

**Dalton Goodbrother** is the current heir of Hammerhorn and captain of the *Blood Hammer*. He is the second born and first son of Lady Gysella Goodbrother and Vickon Greyjoy. Despite his mother's misgivings, Dalton serves as champion to Sigrun Blacktyde.

## Appearance and Character

Dark brown hair like his kraken father, green eyes like his hammer mother, Dalton is tall, with a build akin to the shipbuilders and miners of his land. Favoring long dark coats and loose tunics, he dresses simply and efficiently. His only embellishment - a necklace of a kraken holding an horn around his neck.

Dalton is a creative, kind, and caring young man, who dreams of building build the finest ship ever seen, and turning Hammerhorn into the finest port in the Iron Isles. However, at times he can be hot headed, reckless, and restless; quick to speak his mind and never taking back his words.

## History

Dalton was born in Hammerhorn to Gysella Goodbrother and Vickon Greyjoy around 80 AC. A year after the War for the Seadragon Throne. His mother put lot moreeffort into raising him, as Vickon was often raiding with other members of his house or other Ironborn. Much of his youth was spent learning lessons from his mother and grandfather.

### A Young Hammer

Enjoying traveling with his mother across Great Wyk, Dalton visited the various Houses of the isle, and even sailed to the Westerland to learn the art of the deal. He would take many notes on the industry within the region. Lannisport became an ideal of his that one day, when Hammerhorn was his, he would have such a grand port city.

The happy go lucky little Ironborn heir became heartbroken upon learning of his father and grandfather's deaths. Gysella tried to comfort her son but nothing truly seem to work. All he did for weeks is watch ships come and go from the port.

### Axes and Ships

Dalton took to the two handed axe, and tirelessly trained with the weapon. Deep wounds from the shock of his father and grandfather's death never healed, but such training lessened the pain. Of even further consolation was a renewed focus on shipbuilding. A few cousins would help him build his first ship, which he named *Blood Hammer*, for the color of the wood under the the rays of the rising sun.

Despite a growing interest in raiding and reaving, Dalton focused on supporting his mother's efforts to strengthen Hammerhorn's economy and trade with the mainland. Dalton found friendship among his mother's fleet and members of his house. But he was still Ironborn, and he managed to find time to learn from his uncles, the ways warfare and battle.

### A Wife of Tydes

Ever the dutiful son, Dalton accepted the betrothal arranged by his mother, sealing a pact with House Blacktyde. Although Alannys Blacktyde was several years older than him, he found himself smitten by his new wife. Many onlookers would comment on how the Heir of Hammerhorn could not be without his wife.

During this blissful time Dalton stopped his travels on *Blood Hammer,* for more pressing work needed to be done. As his mother served as Lord Collector for the King, he found himself ruling Hammerhorn in her place for short stretches of times, learning the ins and outs of managing his household.

## Recent Event

Dalton joins his mother with the Goodbrother fleet to aid King Urragon's quest to raid the Arbor.

Dalton sacks Ryamsport under the command of Sigrun Blacktyde, resulting in a handsome bounty of gold. However, the Crimson Fleet is defeated by the Royal, Redwyne, and Hightower fleets in what come to be known as Urragon's Folly. Dalton accepts Lord Veron Greyjoy as the new ruler of the Iron Isles, and Viserys Targaryen as his king.

When Veron Greyjoy perishes in single combat, Dalton supports Sigrun Blacktyde in the following Kingsmoot, in which she is victorious. Sigurn subsequently declares the sovereignty of the Iron Isles, and moves to gather support from the West, the Riverlands and the North.

Dalton accompanies an Ironborn contingent to Barrowton, in which support from the North is cautiously given. Dalton is named leader of the Northern Fleets in the fight to defend their sovereignty. However the Ironborn are crushed by the Royal Fleet. Despite this devastating loss, his leadership in the face of defeat earns his mother's approval. Gysella steps down, and allows Dalton to assume Lordship of House Goodbrother.
