The Jesting Knight

The Jesting Knight, a lowborn Westerosi Knight and Follower of the Seven, is the lieutenant of the criminal organisation and in all sense the right hand man of Roggerio Hotaan and the Stranger's court.

## Appearance & Character:

The Knight stands at a height of 6'3', with a healthy and obviously disciplined physique to boast. The most immediate of things to note upon seeing him would be the series of scars adorning his face. One passes through one cheek to the other cutting through the nose, another on his forehead, another creating a slightly mismatched end to his lips when he smiles due to sideways cut at the edge. Despite such scars, he maintains a decent enough appearance, with well kept swept back black hair and matching beard. The man wears a mixture of leathers and chainmail, some of it dyed a distinctive yellow shade, with two swords (one shorter than the other) and a single circular earring to finish the look.

The man known as the Jesting Knight is often seen as a peculiar figure, with his character at times being radically different. To some he is a quiet silent companion to Roggerio, or a mild mannered fellow who is kind to those in the lower wells of life. To others, he would be akin to a horror, blunt and keen to send a soul to the Stranger, oft with a smile and cackle. Juggling the different hats necessary in the employ of Roggerio has made even a peculiar anomaly, at times even to The Hotaan himself.

## History:

The life of the Jesting Knight is peculiar as there are certain anomalies to his past. It Is known that he was born in 93 AC to a blacksmith and his wife, though the region isn't certain. That has been so far narrowed down to either the Crownlands, the Riverlands or the Reach. His early life was known to be a hard yet uneventful one in its early years, though there is a rumour that during his eleventh name day, it was revealed that his mother had cheated and he was in fact a bastard. Nonetheless, true or not, a year later he was taken by a wandering Knight (Name lost to the wind to all but the Jesting Knight) as his squire and taught the way of the sword.

The next few years would be untraceable, the boy and his mentor travelling through the land and the boy slowly being raised to knighthood. He would next appear during the Cobbler's rebellion under the name of Ser Jonos Stone (uncertain if this was his real name) without his mentor, presumably deceased at some point after the knighthood. For a time this 'Ser Stone' would join the common rabble in 'liberating' villages. However he would disappear sometime within 115 AC, after a particularly brutal day between Levy men and the rabble.

A man under the name of Ser Kyle Waters would appear in King's Landing soon after, his appearance similar to Ser Stone but a series of facial scars differentiating the two. This man would end up within the company of Roggerio Hotaan and the two became partners in a manner of speaking, after the collapse of Roggerio's former group of criminals. From that point, the two would work together to slowly grow an organisation known as the Stranger's Court, with this Ser Waters dropping the name and begin referring to himself simply as The Jesting Knight to those of the Underworld of King's Landing.
