[hider=Howland Forrester "The Purple"]

Name: Howland Forrester

Age: 23

Seat: Castle Black

Heir: Hubert Sand

Personality: Born of Lord Forrester, his only son and heir, Howland Forrester was tutored to be a lord, honorable, kind, and just, he still carries these traits.

Howland is a brave and stubborn lad, often too stubborn to run when faced with a bad situation, to temper this, he listens very well to orders.

He is kind, charitable, and zealous, considering the feeling that one gets from helping others to be greater than the one than he gets from the coin in his pocket.

He has green dreams, and is a warg, often getting drunk in an attempt to overpower the dreams, his companion, a snow cat which he calls "Unfrey", because she disemboweled a Frey recruit for attempting a coup, is the only animal he can warg into, and he cannot even control when it happens.

Bio: Howland Forrester was born to Lord Warren Forrester, as his lat child, and only son. From birth, Howland was expected to hold Ironwrath, and was tutored by his father, a famed warrior, in the art of sword and diplomacy.

However, as he aged, Howland felt like there was too much pressure put on him, his sisters, the only people he felt he could confide in, left to be married, one by one, until he was alone.

It was not a very good environment for young Howland.

He spiraled into depression and hedonism, becoming known as Howland the purple due to the wine stains that often appeared on his shirts. His father finally gave up on Howland, himself becoming more and more stressed with the situation.

Lord Forrester perished on his fourtieth nameday, found slumped over his desk, a quill  still in hand, with a small pile of completed letters, and a much larger pile of received letters.

As a result, Howland was thrust into a Lordship, becoming more and more angered with his lot in life.

Eventually during one of his drunken stupors, he raped one of the court Septas, she later died due to accidental wounds caused by this. He was captured by lord Stark, gelded, and sent to the wall, his uncle becoming the new lord of Ironrath.

The loss of his manhood left Howland feeling somewhat bitter towards the Starks, and he soon collapsed back into drunkenness, more and more known by his nickname.

Howland was eventually given First Ranger status by Tyron Lannister due to his skill with blade and with following orders. This led Howland to ease up on his hedonistic lifestyle, but not by much.

Eventually he began to experience green dreams, and he bonded with a snow cat as his companion, Tyron wasn't pleased by this, as he assumed that Howland might a fled to the wildlings, but he never did, and still serves faithfully.
