[hr][color=FF4444][h2]History[/h2][/color]
[hider]Robert was born a bastard. The son of Ser Gregor Landry (brother of Lord Lothor Landry) and a Northern woman living in the Riverlands, his start to life was difficult. His mother died during childbirth and Gregor had no interest in rearing a child, leaving him to the life of an orphan. Gregor died six years later, but told Lothor of his bastard on his deathbead. Lothor found Robert and took him back to Fallow Hill, asking the keep's houndmaster, Allyn, to take the child and raise him as his own. Always fiercely loyal to the family, Allyn accepted. When Lothor died, Lord Edwyn often watched over the boy, feeling a responsibility for his safety.

Growing up, Robert had little to remind him of his birth parents beyond a lone earring and a black, stone dagger his mother had on her when she died, which Gregor had given to Lothor on his deathbed. Unfortunately, only one of the earrings was found. Robert has worn it since his early days and continues to do so.

Growing up as the houndmasters son meant Robert developed an affinity for animals. He would spend nights with the dogs, often more than he would spend in his room. Allyn would often find the young boy curled up with the sleeping dogs with a smile stretched wide across his face.

Over the years Allyn shared a wealth of knowledge with Robert. While he would be considered being in his twilight years, Allyn had experienced a lot. He knew how to dress wounds, build shelters and to survive off the land. This knowledge and a want of leaving a legacy meant Allyn would often take Robert out into the nearby woods for camping. It was during this time he shared his vast wealth of knowledge with the young lad.

During his twelfth year Lord Edwyn had guests from a House he was trying to build bonds with. Having a good relationship with Allyn he offered to take Robert hunting. Allyn’s initial judgement was to turn down the offer, but Robert convinced him otherwise. 

The hunt went well initially, Lord Edwyn taking down a buck that drew close to a horse in size. However Lord Edwyn and Robert soon found themselves separated from the hunting party as they entered thick woodland. Out of seemingly nowhere a large boar charge Lord Edwyn, his horse bucking the Lord of House Landry to the floor. With an injured leg and shoulder Lord Edwyn could do little more than try to crawl to safety. The boar rounded a tree before turning to charge the Lord. As it closed Robert rushed to the Lords fallen bow and picked it up. He quickly botched an arrow and let it loose. The arrow dropping the boar to the floor. Lord Edwyn broke into laughter while Robert simply stared at the weapon in his hands.

He had never fired a bow until that moment but Lord Edwyn saw to it that Robert had all the practise he could want. While Allyn was frustrated his adopted son wasn’t helping tend to the dogs so much, he completely understood. Robert was never going to be the sort who could sit in the castle every day cleaning up the dogs mess and feeding them. He needed to be outside the walls and set free.

Soon Edwyn gifted Robert his own bow and allowed him to join hunts, not just as an extra pair of hands to carry gear but as an active participant. The quality of his marksmanship grew with every pull of the bowstring, often causing the others on the hunt to watch on in sheer jealously. Edwyn laughed as he watched the faces of middle aged man twist in anger as they watched a young child make shots they couldn’t make in a thousand attempts. It was becoming clear to Edwyn that Robert was a rare talent. His skills with a bow set him out as one of the best archers, not just in the Riverlands but all of Westeros.

As Robert grew older so did Lord Edwyn’s own children. While Edwyn made time for his bastard nephew, his focus had to be his own children. As such he allowed Robert to start hunting on his own. This meant that his duties to Allyn soon faded into nothingness and the boy who was now in his sixteenth year was hunting to put food onto the Landry’s table.

During his twentieth year he was approached Lord Edwyn. He was asked to undertake a new role in servitude to the people. An increase in livestock theft in the Landry’s lands were making life hard for the lords people. As such he asked Robert to use his skill set to patrol House Landry’s lands and to track down the thieves. It wasn’t long before Robert found them and soon enough the lands of House Landry were a little bit safer. Due to his quick and efficient work Edwyn bestowed the title of Ranger onto Robert. His new task would be to wander the Landry lands and to deal with any criminals or dangerous wildlife he came across. 

Until six months ago his job was standard. Petty criminals, large boar and the rare bear were what he encountered. However when walking close to the border with House Haigh Robert heard a blood curdling scream. Instinctly he ran towards the wail and discovered two Haigh soldiers trying to have their way with a woman. His one rule set out by Lord Edwyn was to avoid conflict with House Haigh, no matter the cost. The problem was Roberts conscience overruled even the word of his Lord. Without any defining attire that could tie him back to House Landry Robert quickly scooped up some wet mud in an attempt to hide his face. He raised his hood and took his bow in hand. He quickly unleashed two arrows, dropping the two soldiers dead. 

The woman looked on in horror as Robert approached, her ordeal turning the world upside down. He spend a while trying to calm her down and reassure her before finally he could convince her to her get on his horse and show him the way to her village. 

By this point Robert was firmly in Haigh territory and soon enough he found himself entering a run down village that didn’t look fit for human inhabitance. Human filth and animal carcasses lined the streets and the populace looked malnourished. The sight was a far cry from the life the villagers under House Landry had.

Robert eventually returned the woman to her father and they told him exactly what life was like under the poorly-disciplined Haigh rule. Soldiers would come and antagonize the village men for their own entertainment, take the women as they pleased and leave nothing but a few scraps of stale bread for the villagers to eat. The story filed an anger deep within Robert. Haigh land or not, these were people and they deserved better. 

Over the next few days Robert set about helping the villagers, firstly by getting them some coin. With help and information from the village elder he discovered a caravan was to be on the road with a mountain of coin on board. Robert wanting to what he could to help set about taking the caravan.

Given the nature of Lord Haighs reign it was clear to Robert that the man felt he had nothing to fear and the Ranger decided to change that. When Robert approached the caravan under cover of darkness he had donned a mixture of white and black paint on his face to give himself an otherworldly appearance. The caravan showed Lord Haighs confidence as three men was all that guarded its treasure. With two quick arrows fired only one man remained, frozen still by the skewered men either side of him. Robert leapt onto the caravan and threw the surviving man to the ground before finally bringing the caravan to a stop.

Robert pinned the man to the floor with his boot and meant down, bearing his teeth like a wild animal. He growled as deeply as he could, watching on as the guard soon found himself lying in pool of his own urine. He had clearly bought what Robert was selling and so the Ranger let him go to tell Lord Haigh his story. Quickly after Robert took the chest from within the caravan and returned to the village. He didn’t speak to a soul but simply left several coins at each doorstep before returning to Fallow Hill.

Over the following months Robert returned three more times to inflict more misery on Haigh turf. Soon enough word crossed into Landry territory about a vigilante that had killed several Haigh soldiers. The stories were heavily exaggerated and whenever Robert would bear one he would laugh. However, he knew that if it was ever discovered that he was the vigilante in question then the outcome for him and possibly the whole region could become bleak. If anyone was to discover a bastard of the House Landry was killing Haigh men, it would not bode well for Lord Edwyn. [/hider]

[hider][i][center]Courageous * Dependable * Ruthless * Attentive * Intelligent * Sarcastic * Adaptable * Survivalist[/center][/i]

[b][color=#ff4444]Personality:[/color][/b] Those who meet Robert are often greeted with a smile. He is often easy going and enjoys exchanging banter and jibes with others. Even during times of high stress or trauma he can often be found trying to lighten the mood. 

His sarcastic nature is one of his defining features that those who know him have learned to love. However those who don’t know him don’t always react the best to his sarcasm.

He isn’t a noble in any respects and has a dislike for the rich in the world. The only exception is Lord Edwyn who he has a lot of respect for. He would fight for the Lord if needed as he would for anyone he cares for.

While not a conscious decision Robert takes in his surroundings very well. He can spot people acting strange in a crowd and the quickest exit when inside. It’s just something he started doing subconsciously soon after he began his life of looking after the poor.
