Originally advisors to House Gardner and even regent to a young Targaryen king, the ambitious lords of the Starpike castle seek to once again find their rightful place in history. Trevyr Peake, the fourth son of his house, now seizes the opportunity to surpass his kin. Unlikely to inherit his father's lands and possessing the cavalier spirit of an adventurer, Trevyr was raised with the stories of his ambitious ancestors and was quite fond of their time as sellswords in the Golden Company. The glorified tales of his grand uncles Laswell, Torman and Pykewood across the Essosi Free Cities inspired him to take up Braavosi swordplay, develop a love for Volantian wine, dress in Tyroshi garb, and a preference for Lysene women though one would have a hard time finding a man of the Seven Kingdoms who did not. There was one other legacy brought over by the men-in-exile of House Peake that Trevyr carries. While they had supported the return of the rightful king to the Iron Throne, their former lordships of Dustonbury and Whitegrove were still in the hands of pretenders. It was a slight that the elder generations had seemingly overlooked but the ancient grudges had once again brought about renewed intrigues. On the 58th nameday of Lord Eddrick Peake, Trevyr's liege and father, tragedy had struck. The patriarch of House Peake had choked on his meal and died with the bone of fowl stuck down his throat. Within a few days, a new house head had ascended and Trevyr now found himself sent away to Highgarden as a representative of Starpike. In truth his brother Bardaq, the new lord of the House, just wanted him and other claimants away from their ancestral hold. A young lad with nary a soldier in his employ and only a miniscule stipend set aside by his estate, Trevyr loitered about while wasting away at taverns and the feasts of his peers, often endearing himself to his hosts through party tricks and boisterous revelry. This would not last long though as the doldrums caused by his familial circumstance had given him the opportunity of a lifetime to seize. Upon hearing whispers of Prince Vaeron's plans to tour the wonders of Essos, Trevyr immediately sought the quickest caravan to King's Landing. It would not take long for him to reach the capital and it would take even less time for him to be accustomed to the stench of the capital's underbelly. What did take a longer time though was receiving an audience with the Prince. It would take a bit of trickery to expedite his request, as Trevyr had exaggerated his reputation as an expert on current Essosi affairs and bribed a palace servant to drum up his credentials to the prince. Needless to say, he had met the young Targaryen prince and has been admitted to join the journey. While the adventure ahead lies obscured, a lordling of House Peake once again looks to find fortune in the eastern lands. [/indent] [u]Relations[/u] [indent]A relatively recent acquaintance to Prince Vaeron, Trevyr jumped on the opportunity to join the royal entourage by presenting his family's ephemeral ties to Essos during their time in exile as part of the Golden Company. While they might not know each other that well, the laws and traditions of feudalism defines their relationship as peers. House Peake's history is deeply intertwined with the ancient rivalries of Highgarden's vassals. As such Trevyr is acquainted with his fellow Reach noblemen and has a painted opinion on all of them, though they do not intimately know much about each other.[/indent] [u]Trivia[/u] [indent]Trevyr plans to collect a bottle of wine or spirits from every settlement they visit.[/indent] [/hider]
