Torrhen Dane

Where his father and brother and scarred and ugly men, Torrhen is tall, square-jawed and almost handsome. He bears a wine-red birthmark on his neck. He is soft-spoken and intelligent.

As a child Torrhen was interested primarily in scholarly pursuits, but as he aged he discovered a fascination with riding which gradually led him to take up swordfighting, which would define his life. He fought in Robert's Rebellion but achieved little distinction, and after the war he travelled east to Bravos and the Free Cities for several years, returning with tales of a sellsword's life and a beautifully crafted Dothraki arakh which became his favoured weapon.

His marriage to Orleans Forter was arranged before his trip overseas, and when he returned they were wed. They have produced a daughter and twin brothers,
