Eldred is a commoner from the Riverlands. He is popular with the smallfolk. Recently, as of 367 AC, he has amassed many followers and is currently waging a war against the elite. He is one-and-thirty years old.

History

He was born as the 8th child of a carpenter and his wife in a small Riverlands village. As the child emerged, his mother cried out and cursed him. Not a minute passed before his father, Edmure, took him and left their meager home. He abandoned the baby deep in the woods. But before the boy could die, he was saved by a disgraced Septa traveling through the forest.

The Septa took him to her isolated hut and named him Eldred. She taught him all the skills she was supposed to teach a rich man's child: Literacy, eloquence, etc. Meanwhile, Eldred taught himself to hunt, sustaining them both on rabbit and deer meat. Her greatest lesson, howeverm was her hypnotic manner of speaking, which Eldred absorbed over their 24 years together.

Her dying wish was that he become a member of society. His attempts ended with him imprisoned twice for petty crimes, once in Fairmarket, then in Riverrun. When Eldred was 28 years old, as he walked though the woods, he was struck down from behind and suffered a grave head wound. He awoke later that night and soon began travelling throughout the land.

He made friends and lost friends in these two years. Still in 367 AC, he continues to walk through Westeros, searching for his place in society.

Appearance

He is relatively short, but with the fit physique of a veteran hunter. His brown hair is long and dirty. He has blue eyes and a bushy beard.
