That’s Ser Darron to you. I used to be someone once – a respected knight for a noble house. No, not in this soggy moor! In the Reach! Where the wine flows like water and the wheat grows ten feet tall. Where plums the size of a man’s fist ripen under a golden sun. In my younger days I even held my own in tournaments form Bandallon to Sunflower Hall. Had a family – wife and three sons. Even a bit of land to my name!

Yeah, I really was someone then. Now I suppose I should just be happy to be alive. It’s like I got a second life. No, there’s no point in talking about those events. Just know that I’m no turncoat. I’m an honorable man! Always have been and always will be. A true knight follows a code you know.

I had to travel a ways to escape that past. I was in Wendish Town when some travelers told me about the fingers. Said castle Snownook was in danger of being overrun by marauders and in need of some good swords. What did I have to lose?

I am grateful to Lord Jasper. I truly am. He took me in. Gave me a sword and a bed. Gave me a purpose again. I’ll always be grateful to him for that.

It hurts to think of my boys though. A thousand leagues away growing up without a father. I still hold out hope of seeing them again before I die.

It hurts just as fucking much to see the way that baby, Jardon Pyke, has the ear of our lord. May the seven restrain me while I have to listen to his orders. I hold out hope of seeing him die before I die! Ho ho ho!

Ser Darron’s Sigil is a golden horse wielding a long sword on a black field. The gold represents the ideals of the True Knight’s Code. The horse is a symbol of power and freedom. The sword signifies bravery. Black is cool.
