Iranno Vhassos

**Iranno Vhassos** is an assassin currently in the employ of Yorick Yronwood. Hailing from Myr, he was trained and guided by the Drahar Family in the ways of a spy, and later on, an assassin, becoming one of the family's best agents. He has only recently departed from Myr to serve under Yorick in Dorne.

## Appearance and Character

One of the lighter skinned Myrmen to be found, Iranno has a rather modest medium build. Several years of running and climbing have strengthened his muscles, making him no easy target. Though he is not skilled in traditional combat, he uses his agility to his advantage when put in those situations.

His auburn hair is consistently kept trimmed short and neatly to the top of his head, though both his left and right temple, as well as the back of his head, were kept shaved. An auburn stubble lines his face, and his eyes are a piercing green. His left temple, and his chest both sported several jagged scars.

As for the man underneath, Iranno could best be described with one word: chaotic. One can never quite be sure of his intentions, or his motives, and he seems to revel in the chaos he sows. When not spending his time drinking, fucking, or killing, he generally keeps to himself, and is often found brooding. His mind has been hardened after years of abuse from his father, and from his training as an assassin, and nothing really seems to faze him all that much.

Iranno is quite loyal to his friends and those that he loves, though his inherent selfishness will cause him to prioritize himself much more than others, to great internal conflict. Though selfish, and perhaps a bit greedy, Iranno is *not* arrogant, and he does his best not to overestimate himself, or underestimate others.

Beneath his hardened exterior, Iranno's mind is quite dark, haunted with memories of his father, and of his now deceased lover. Though he has no issues with killing a target, or somebody he deems necessary to kill, he will not kill just to kill, and actually believes that such killings are sadistic and abhorrent. Irrano may enjoy the chaos he creates, but he enjoys no part of the killing itself.

## History

### Early Life

Iranno was born in 414 AC to Aroquo Vhassos, a cobbler, and Sirysa Vhassos, in the Free City of Myr. His mother died only a few years after Iranno was born, causing his father to descend into a spiral of drunkenness and neglect, both for himself and for Iranno. The little lad quickly had to learn how to fend for himself.

As Iranno grew older, the neglect from his father began to turn into verbal and emotional abuse, and then, it eventually progressed into physical abuse. His father would often beat him, or throw sharp objects at him at only the slightest disturbance or transgression, though there also many times where there didn't have to be something that Iranno "did wrong". Aroquo didn't abuse Iranno when he was sober, which happened once in a blue moon, but it offered no respite for the lad.

When Iranno was around the age ten and two, his father was in one of the worst drunken fits that he had witnessed. When Aroquo charged at Iranno with a knife, the lad grabbed a nearby fire iron and stabbed his father in the gut. The panicked boy grabbed what little money and posessiosn he had, and fled his home while his father bled out

### Agent of the Drahar Family

Iranno spent around three years living on the streets, and had resorted to stealing in order to keep himself fed. Shortly after his sixteenth nameday, an agent who worked for the Drahar Family offered to train the boy, who had just succesfully stolen an item from a street vendor, as an agent similar to him. Having become increasingly desperate to find more sources of wealth, Iranno accepted and was given a bed roll in the cellar of a Drahar estate until he could prove himself worthy of deserving more.

Irrano was taught how to read and write, and was trained in all manners of intrigue and stealth. He took very well to his training, and held a certain aptitude for poison and assasination, quickly becoming one of the most effective agents in the employ of the Drahars. He was placed in an actual bedroom, albeit rather small, within a few months.

By the time he was twenty years of age, a visitor came to the Drahar family, the young Yorick Yronwood, who was to be staying in Myr during the War of Stone and Sky. While Yorick was in Myr, Iranno formed a friendship with him, and assisted in teaching him in many of the same things he had been trained in only a couple years before. Though the lordling would return home not long after, the boy had left an imprint within Iranno's mind.

### Lost Love and Departure

In 438, Iranno had met a Lysene woman living in Myr, named Vaerysa, and the assassin soon found himself infatuated with her. Though Vaerysa initially rejected his advances, she eventually relented, and the two began a relationship and moved into a recently bought, modest house. Iranno's infatuation turned into love, an emotion he couldn't even remember feeling before. Though the rogue was a notoriously heavy drinker and gambler, he had completely quit both activities after having met Vaerysa, afraid he would turn into his father.

The two married several months after beginning their relationship, and were married by a Red Priest, despite Iranno's rather dismissive attitude of R'hllor. They would find their brief marriage to be very happy, and Iranno was finally abandoning the ghosts of his past. Yet, good things never last forever.

After not being able to find his wife after returning home from the estate of the Drahar Family, Iranno frantically searched the streets around him, only to find Vaerysa's bloodied corpse. She had several bruises over her body, and it seemed as though she was raped and left for dead.

Iranno was utterly devestated, and soon fell back into drinking to fill the hole left by his wife's death. One night, he bitterly cursed the Lord of Light while very drunk in a bar, leading to a brawl between what few friends he had and angrily R'hllor worshippers, who were equally as drunk. Deciding that Myr was no longer a place for him after waking up the next day, Iranno hastily gathered his belongings, and left on the next ship for Westeros, intending to find Yorick.

## Recent Events

After reuniting with his old friend Yorick at Yronwood, Iranno formally enters his employ, and journeys with him when he leaves for Sunspear.
