lior ash valen

Age: 27
Race: Westerosi (mixed heritage, of both noble and common blood)
Societal Class: Outlaw (formerly a knight-in-training, now a fugitive)
Appearance:
Shoulder-length dark brown hair, often tied back messily.
A scar running from the corner of his jaw to just below his left ear.
Lean but muscular, with sharp, piercing green eyes.
Wears a tattered dark cloak over reinforced leather armor, bearing faded sigils that have long since lost their meaning.
Background & Personality:
Once a promising squire for a minor noble house, Lior was framed for a crime he did not commit—murdering a lord’s son in a duel that was meant to be honorable. Branded a traitor and forced into hiding, he took to the forests and wildlands, surviving as a hunter, mercenary, and occasional thief.

Lior is sharp-witted, deeply distrustful of nobles, and has a knack for spotting deception—making him immediately suspicious of Aver’s noble mannerisms despite his claim of being a common bastard. He carries a quiet resentment toward the ruling class but isn’t above working with them if it benefits him. Though hardened by betrayal, he still clings to a personal code of honor, making him reluctant to kill unless absolutely necessary.
