The Kingsguard of King Steffarion I Targaryen, First of His Name
(Apologies for the blurry images)
(Some commands used in game for lore, but achieved in part by gameplay)
The Kingsguard of King Steffarion, First of His Name, King of The Andals, The Rhoynar, The First Men, The Stepstones, and the Summer Islanders, the elder son of Aegon the Conqueror, in the year 8043, 5 years after the death of his father, is recognized in history for it’s legendary status
Lord Commander Alyn “The Legendary” Cockshaw - One of the most skilled knights to ever live, Lord Commander Alyn Cockshaw is a masterful warrior, a legendary jouster, and even a poet and a scholar. He isn’t without controversy, however. His bisexuality is well known amongst the realm, and at one point, he was made a eunuch for his relationship with Oraney Cockshaw, a distant relative (who has stuck beside him even still). The reason neither Aegon nor Steffarion had him sent to the wall or executed for his consistent breaking of his vows is because of his prowess and status as a living folk hero.
John “The Greenhand” Gardener - A member of one of the great houses, the Lords of the Reach, John Gardener was a friend of Aegon’s, a man who had few friends, was a natural choice to be appointed to the Kingsguard. A strong, brave and diligent fighter, Greenhand is the same age as his Lord Commander, but is considered the frontrunner to become the fourth Lord Commander in history should Cockshaw die before him. Gardener is known for his scruffy beard and blunt personality, and despite being a friend of Aegon’s, some cannot stand his cynicism.
Jorah “Darkstar” Darklyn - The brother of the current Lord of the Riverlands & Trident, Jorah Darklyn’s potential was spotted from a young age, and he was very quickly appointed to the Kingsguard. He is seen as a top choice for Lord Commander down the line, despite King Steffarion and Darkstar’s brother Lord Paramount Othan’s hatred for each other.
Roland Grell - The only living member of the original seven, Ser Roland Grell is an average knight, still better than many of the realm, but his old age and general mediocrity compared to his white brothers leaves him relatively unknown compared to the others.
Damon Goodbrook - One of the newer appointments, Damon Goodbrook maintains popularity with both the court and the faith due to his outgoing personality, yet strict adherence to the laws of the Seven.
Humfrey “The White Owl” Mertyns - A knight with a life filled with loss, The White Owl did not expect to become a Kingsguard, and is one of the elder appointments to the White Cloak.
Othell Swyft - A cruel, easy to anger asshole with an arbitrary sense of justice, one has to question King Aegon’s decision making when he put Othell Swyft on the Kingsguard, though none can deny his status as one of the realm’s great knights (in merit if not personality)
