Jorah Mallister

Lord Jorah Mallister is the Lord of Seaguard.

Biography
Lord Jorah Mallister was born the first son of Hugh Mallister and Dyana Roote. Lord Hugh had wished for a strong son and heir, however his wife Dyana bore him nothing but daughters for many years. Finally, on the first day of 114 AC, Jorah’s birth was met with much relief from his late father. The following years, the young lord was trained in the ways of a knight. Under the training of his father’s retainers, Jorah learned to study the blade and practice proper form. Over time, he developed into an apt warrior with an energy that few could match. As he grew older, Lord Hugh taught Jorah in the ways of stewardship and leadership directly. Though he was slow to catch on to his father’s lessons, Jorah eventually developed a sharp wit and commanding will.

By the time he was in his twenties, Jorah had made himself a proper knight. As his training concluded, he was knighted by his superior and distinguished himself in tourney to tourney. After meeting Lorra Marband while on leave from Seagard, he fell in love with the woman and swore to marry her. By age twenty-five, the pair had eloped and returned to Seagard in order to marry. Lord Hugh passed away a few years later, followed by his wife Dyana the following summer. Afterward, Jorah rose to the position of High Lord and assumed control of his father’s demesne. Meanwhile, Jorah continued his physical conditioning and ruled his land amiably.

In 162 AC, heirs of the Late Lord Greyjoy laid siege of Seagard after their father’s death. Lord Jorah successfully repelled the attackers in a devastating counterattack, and soon Jorah’s defense had become so insurmountable that the Greyjoys had no other choice to flee. In the fray, Lord Jorah’s son Petyr slayed one of the Greyjoy heirs, gaining acclaim as “the Squidslayer.” Meanwhile, Lord Mallister came to be known as “Stonewall” for his formidable resistance against the marauding Ironborn. After the Siege of Seagard, Jorah played an important role organizing the Battle of Harlaw alongside Prince Aemon Targaryen.

Three years later, Jorah’s wife passed away giving birth to their fourth and final child, a daughter named Roslyn. Jorah mourned the death of his beloved for many years, refusing to take another wife. However, in the coming years he arranged the marriage of his eldest son and the training of his secondborn son, Mandon. Mandon proved himself to be a skilled warrior, serving alongside his own retainers as they cleared the countryside of wandering brigands. After a series of spectacular tourney performances, Mandon has become famous across Westeros as one of the most technically proficient duelers in the Riverlands. He is currently in consideration for the Kingsguard.
