Appearance[]
Ryon Santagar is a man with black hair, which is common in both of his parents's houses, the House Santagar and the House Gargalen. He also possesses eerie black eyes, which usually shows seriousness. He also has a beard, which is frequently trimmed, but in times of war he let it grow, reason why people says that it grows with the war. He is a tall man and not really muscular.

History[]
Ryon Santagar was the first-born from Lord Jonos Santagar of Spottswood and his wife, Cyrenna Santagar, in 351 AC. He was the first of two twins, but only he made it through the first year. When he was just five years old, her brother, Dagos, was born from an affair with one knight. Two years later, a girl named Lyra was born, but her mother couldn't do it through the birth.
Ryon's family had a feud between Jonos and his young brother Olyvar, who thought that he had a neutral position about the problems in Dorne and the kingdom of the Iron Throne, and that would end up ruining the Santagar house and lead them to the extinction. Said feud got worse with time, culminating with the murder of Jonos, at hands of his brother, which started a war between the remaining members of the family. With only fourteen years, he had to run out of Spottswood, fearing that his uncle would come for him. Only he and his brother could hot out of his lands, because his uncle sent Lyra to marry one of the sons of a Lord in the Storm lands, seeking to gain more power, long before he killed his brother. The brothers found refuge in Tall Glass where they met the family Drinkwater, who kindly offered a place to hide until Ryon could be able to retake his place. While being in Tall Glass, the heir of Spottswood learned the art of the duelling with polearms, being dexterous with the spear and the scythe, and daggers, getting ready to take his home back.
While being on foreign lands, the elder Santagar acquired fame as a great duellist, and after five years of being on Tall Glass, he married to Ravella Drinkwater, the youngest of them. After the marriage, Ryon went back to Spottswood to take his place as Lord. He started a rebellion against his uncle, and, with help of the people of Spottswood, he became the Lord of those lands, and executed Olyvar, who had a daughter with a commoner. After settling down as Lord of Spottswood, Ryon took Olyvar's daughter as his own, and not too much after, Ryon's first child was born, a young girl that he named Nymeria.
