Martyn Lannister is the second born son of Lancel Lannister, Lord of Lannisport. He is a knight though takes no great joy in fighting. Rather spending his days tending to his business venture the Mane and Tail tavern that serves the citizens on Lannisport.

## Character & Appearance

Martyn sports the golden-blonde hair and green eyes of his family. He often keep a small beard that is little more than scruff. He is neither attractive or unattractive, nor is he strong or weak. Overall, just being of plain appearance and rather unimpressive. It is only his height, standing 5'10", that helps him stand out among his peers.

The second born son of Lannisport is a diligent man. He goes about his business with great care and meticulousness. While it is his brother's path to inherit the city, Martyn was free to pursue other ventures. He did so in opening the Mane and Tail tavern where he could put to use his love of entertaining others. He is not much of a singer or musician and certainly not a poet but providing a space and venue for those of the more artistic mind to make a living is something that he takes great pride in. He can be found most days within the tavern or meeting with other merchants throughout the city.

## History

Martyn was born the second and final child of Lord Lancel Lannister and his wife Selyse Redwyne. Selyse's pregnancy with Martyn was a difficult one and both she and her husband decided to stop growing their family after only have two boys.

Much like his brother, Loreon, Martyn enjoyed traversing the city of Lannisport whenever he was given the opportunity. While Loreon could often be found on the docks, Martyn was a frequent in several different establishments in the city. Chief among them being the taverns where he could listen to a new bard play every day. When his brother was confined to the Lannister home, Martyn did not suffer the same fate. It was not that his father was neglectful towards him but more so that he was not as important as Loreon. The eldest Lannister was the heir and would continue his father's legacy while Martyn would do his duty by his brother when the time came and serve him ably.

It was this freedom to explore the city that continued to grow Martyn's knowledge and understanding of economics and finances. As a teenager he found himself frequently in establishments and watching as the owner's counted their coin and balanced their books. The ability to maximize profits and generate revenue fascinated him and he became determined to one day be the richest man in Lannisport, independent of his family's wealth.

As his diligence in business developed so too did his greed. More than once the city guard would catch the youngest Lannister stealing away with gold and silver pieces that had been left unattended for too long. It wasn't risk of the crime that excited him but simply a desire to deepen his own pockets. Therefore it came as no surprise that when he reached adulthood he'd already saved enough funds to open his own tavern.

The Mane and Tail was born six months after Martyn turned 18. With his brother set to inherit and his father still alive and relatively well he was able to fully focus his efforts on the business. His business quickly began to prosper as he hired the newest and most exciting acts to perform each and every night. Having the Lannister name backing his efforts certainly helped as bards were eager to perform, expecting a larger pay out. They would certainly leave at the end of each night with deep pockets but for the business he was bringing in Martyn likely could have paid more. It would come as no surprise to those who knew him that he tended to his own pockets before those of less fortune who entered his employ.

Shortly after his tavern had opened, duty called for Martyn. His father had arranged a marriage with him to a Genna Bracken from the Riverlands. A reputable house and a match that would assist in spreading the influence of House Lannister. Much like his business ventures, marriage proved to be fruitful for the young lion. From the time their first child was born in 114 AC to their last in 127 AC, he and his wife had in total ten children. All of them healthy and surviving past their infancy.

As Lord Lancel aged and became less capable of managing his house and expenses it was Martyn who stepped in to handle such things. Between Loreon and Martyn they build the perfect Lord. Unfortunately, only one will truly inherit the city and that will be the warrior and admiral in Loreon. Martyn is content to continue to assist in the city until such a time but has ambitions to expand his business venture to other population centers around Westeros in the coming years.

## Recent Events

While the rest of the realm had gathered in King's Landing for the coronation of the King and the trial of Andrey Toland, Martyn remained in Lannisport to think of ways to extend the offerings of his tavern. One such way was to introduce darts as a new game for patrons to try their hand at.
