Ser Laiden Rivers

Ser Laiden Rivers is the son of two lowly commoners from the Riverlands thus making him a bastard due to his birth type and thus taking the surname of Rivers. Ser Laiden Rivers never stayed with his parents and only survived through sheer will to live, and thus for this reason he does not know if he has any siblings or not. Ser Laiden Rivers would not marry as he was so dedicated to his service to House Scarlet that he never found the time or the energy to spend time with women, and the few he did meet were prostitues.

Ser Laiden Rivers is one of the top commanders of the Argent Dawn, and he is only two positions below the overal commander thus making him a truly valuable member of House Scarlet.

Laiden Rivers was born to two poor farmers in the southern Riverlands and realizing they couldn't care for him they left him in the forests assuming he would die. Laiden did not die, and was taken in by a small mountain tribe who showed him their way of living. After living with them for many years he would leave them and travel south to the lands of the Lucernians. When he arrived he begin working for a blacksmith in Lucerne where he would become quite skilled at the trade, but it was all so that he could design his own armor, and weapon. When he completed this he left the blacksmith and travelled south where he would live in Forks for a time while he trained in the use of his armor, and weapon. Feeling confident he would enter a series of tournaments and during these tournaments he never won, but he steadily got an increasingly higher and higher rank. This was noticed by House Scarlet who under Isilian Scarlet would bring the young Laiden Rivers into their ranks. Isilian would give Laiden a task to rid a cave in the far south of a bear that was causing great damage to the local villagers and that if he completed this he would be knighed. Seeing his chance at the life he wanted Laiden would travel to the far south and visit the cave where the bear was meant to be, and after a long battle he was able to kill the bear by tricking it to run off the side of a cliff.
