Name: Lord Gorold Orkwood
Age: 23
Kingdom: Kingdom of the Rivers and Isles
Thrust into duty after his father Tytus Orkwood was slain in the events of the bicentennial tournament hosted at Harrenhal, Gorold Orkwood was raised from an early age to fight and raid. Under the charge of the master of arms of House Orkwood, Gorold was trained to lead all of Orkmont’s troops. While being trained in the strengths and weaknesses of each weapon type, no weapon caught Gorold’s affections as much the battle axe. Many a sparring partner would think themselves at advantage with sword and shield only to have them ripped from their hands by a powerful chop and their faces bloodied from a handle to the face. The Axe of Orkwood is feared north of Orkmont. Under the tutelage of Lord Tytus, Gorold was quick to amass a large plunder from raiding and pillaging. Even though House Orkwood possesses a large fleet, raiding was much more preferable to Gorold so he did not bother to be trained in the art of naval battle. Gorold preferred the grounded struggle of army against army and the single combat that decided which in turn would be the victor. This infatuation was further cemented when Erik Hoare crushed Houses Bracken, Smallwood, Rosby, Vance, and Piper in the Second Riverlands Rebellion. Since then Gorold has idolized Erik and his tactical prowess as well as late King Harmund’s ruthless political savvy. While not a fan of the new King Theon’s distaste of battle, Gorold hopes to strengthen his house by claiming a position of power in the tumult that has caused the new king’s rise to power.
