Dardalion Snow

Dardalion Snow is of a fair build, the harsh north and training from Hector keeping him in good shape, his hair a dark red and eyes of pure green, both from his mother. He is viewed as a rogue, selfish, and above all else a bastard; always ready to steal your purse. Despite all this Dardalion tends to speak the truth, acting more blunt and honest with his words and actions then one would think.

Dardalion Snow is the bastard son of the Lord of House Minos, and a serving wench named Danyal Reilly of the tavern the Dancing Bull. Dardalion spent the first ten years of his life in and around that tavern, when he was big enough helping to clear the tables and pour wine for the guests, and in his own time learning how to pickpocket and steal from them. When Danyal died Dardalion was removed from the tavern after being caught with far too much coin for a child to have.

Dardalion would eventually be recognized as the Lord's bastard and taken into his court, where he met his older brother Maeus Minos and the master-at-arms Hector of Minos. Dardalion would spend time learning the art of swordplay and war from Hector, and while the boy seemed to be a natural at it, he didn't enjoy the time spent there, preferring to practice his skills at not being scene.

When Dardalion was 15 he entered a local tournament under a fake name, the tournament was a small one, more set up for the lower knights, squires, and peasants then of any real knights. Dardalion won, defeating the local favourite in the finals. However, Dardalion used more underhanded mentions to work, striking the final blow after throwing sand in his opponents face, earning him the nickname The Bastard for other reasons then his birth.

Dardalion, along with his brother, the Master-at-arms, and his cousin would travel to a tournament held at King's Landing in 291 to try and gain a better reputation for himself. While there he competed in only the melee, managing to do quiet well before being knocked out from behind. Dardalion and the rest of House Minos were bared from the rest of the tournament when a scandal arose around the death of Alric Dannet the heir to house Dannet at the time. House Minos would be put on trail, but ultimately there wasn't enough evidence to prove one way or the other who did it.

Dardalion has recently taken an interest in baking, taking time to learn from the castle cooks how to make different kinds of bread, pastries, and even jam and fillings for it, spending hours in there some nights just baking.

Dardalion was named by his mother after the hero Dardalion the Abbott from the book Lost Heroes.
