Antario Lannister

Antario is the Lord of Lannisport. He recently inherited the title after his father's death in the wars of Darklyn's rebellion.

Appearance and Character
Antario possesses wavy golden locks above striking green eyes, a sharp nose, and an easy smirk. Standing roughly six feet, he boasts a lean, wiry build. He favors gaudy silks from across the Narrow Sea, loosely worn to show off his sun kissed skin.

Easily bored and addicted to violence, Antario is incapable of denying himself his wants and desires, no matter the consequences. His depravity is infamous among the streets of Lannisport, and within the halls of Casterly Rock.

History
Debauchery, violence, licentiousness. These were not words that came to mind when the sweet face of Antario Lannister came into this world, mere minutes before his sister Margot. Born the second son to Lord Lancel Lannister, he lived a charmed life being the ‘spare’. He and his twin sister would toddle through the halls of the Lannisport castle, terrorizing the servants with cruel taunts and pranks.

Despite an uncaring view of the world, Antario did find an interest in training in the yard, and even more, sailing at sea. While the confines of Lannisport seemed his playground for his desires, he found the endless ocean something to be respected and not taken lightly. As a young sailor, he joined raids on the Reach during the Wine Wars, and developed a taste for violence.

In 188, war would break out between the West and the Reach, and Antario joined his older brother Tybolt in defending the harbor. A Redwyne ambush would result in the loss of several Lannister ships, and the loss of the heir to Lannisport. Antario was now heir to the harbor city, and somewhat fittingly, riots would soon erupt in the streets, following the capitulation of the Westerland forces.

Now that Antario was heir, his father scrambled to find his son a good match. Despite his protestations, he would eventually marry Joanna Lannister, eldest daughter of their liege lord, Loreon Lannister. Caught in a loveless marriage, Antario would often slip away to the streets of Lannisport, and satiate his cravings for drink and debauchery. Still, he fulfilled his noble duty, and sired two children with his wife.

A rare lull of peace arrived in the West, allowing Antario an opportunity to slip away across the Narrow Sea with his twin sister Margot, and take a pleasure trip to Myr. Within the Free City, they indulged in all the luxuries Essos had to offer. Their wealth and status attracted the attention of the local merchants and magisters, and every night became a depraved party with the elite. One fateful morning, the pair would awake to find the dead body of a prominent merchant in their manse. Someone had brutally stabbed the poor fellow to death - it could have been the Lannisters - but they truly had no recollection of the previous night. Ultimately, they would be arrested by Idril Drahar, captain of the city guard.

An unrelenting officer from an elite magisterial family, the captain would refuse to take bribes or favors, but the captain’s son Marion would intervene. A devout follower of R’hllor, Marion offered the pair their freedom, in exchange for a couple of favors concerning the spread of his religion. Eager to be free of this mess, and coldly indifferent to religion, Antario gladly took Marion up on his offer. Not long after they returned home, a sect of R’hllor worshippers would form in Lannisport. Over the next few years, their following would grow, and the Marion Drahar he owed a debt to would rise to the position of Archmagister of Myr.

Shortly after his return, the West would join Lord Darklyn in rebellion against the Crown. Naturally Lannisport came under attack by the might of the Iron Isles. The harbor city would endure three assaults, but the best the Ironborn could manage was a brief breach of the walls. Delighting in the carnage and brutality, Antario slew the TenTowers heir, Nute Harlaw - a rather unimpressive feat, for the Ironborn had been mortally wounded earlier, but the Lannister of course would tell it differently. Despite the defenders great success, Antario’s father would suffer a distressing wound in the final battle. Soon after, infection set in, and he would be claimed by the Gods, rendering Antario lord of Lannisport.

Ultimately, the rebellion would come to an end, and the West were left licking their wounds again. In honor of his heroics, Antario would become a fixture at Casterly Rock, and enter the elite circle of Lord Lucion Lannister’s Golden Order.
