Related Character Bio

Heavy is the White Cloak when it sits on the shoulders of a Northerner. Garred Forrester swore his life to serve a King he had never met, before his knee was bent in front of him. Otho Bracken, a man heavily disliked in the North. One whom Garred himself had insulted countless times. Named him names a child would not know yet now he swore the vows to protect him with his life. In truth, he would rarely see the King. Instead named as the Kingsguard for the North. To protect the Crown Prince, his wife, Queen Lyanna of the North and their possible future children. There have been no other Northern Kingsguard before him and pressure of being the first weighs heavily on the young lad. Before his appointment he was barely known in the North, yet alone the other Kingdoms but now, he is a household name. Known throughout the realm as the Ironwood Knight for his house. Some say it as a joke, that he is not a true warrior capable of the title. His friends say it out of respect and to increase the reputation. Both of them hit Garred in different ways. He cares for his friends and appreciates their support but known the nickname only adds fuel to the fire that he is a pretender. Not a true Knight and no true Kingsguard. Damn them all he says valiant, with fire in his voice. If he is not worthy of the white Cloak then he shall make it red. Either with his enemies blood or his own.
