File:Addam Dondarrion.jpg

Lord Addam Dondarrion, the “Limping bolt” had been lord of Blackhaven since the day he was born. His father, Lord Duncan Dondarrion, was one of the captains on King Aegon IV’s fleet send to invade Dorne in 174A.C. When His father set sail for Dorne, his mother Lady Ellyn Swann was already pregnant with him. The king sent the fleet to land on the Dornish coast, but tragedy struck when The fleet was scattered en route and destroyed by a vicious storm, killing all of those on board. And so, when Addam was born a few months later, his was named lord of Blackhaven with his uncle Sir Randyll Dondarrion a veteran of the Dornish conquest as regent. His uncle could of tried to usurp the position from his nephew, but an honorable man, Sir Randyll instead insured Addams succession as lord raised the young lordling as his own along with his siter lady Jena. Addam had always been of a more bookish disposition, which his knighted uncle disapproved of. Forcing him to learn how to ride and lance. Tragedy struck when in 164 A.C. at the age of 10, the young lord decided he wanted to impress his regent and mounted his father’s stead. An old mere by that time, the horse fell halfway through the ride, with lord Addams leg caught in the stirrup, shattering his leg as it was pressed between the steed and the ground. The master of the castle did the best he could, but the damage was to severe for the young lord to ever make a full recovery. Now forced to wear a brace and use a cane at all times, any chance of Addam being a great warrior was behind him, as he spent the next years of his life focusing on more studious pursuits such as economics, mathematics, and architecture. Addam even attended the marriage of his sister Lady Jena and the Lord of Dragonstone, Baelor Targaryen, heir to the Iron Throne. Forever cementing his loyalty to house Targaryen. At the age of 16, Randyll ended the regency and gave full control of the castle and the house back to his nephew. Now lording over the Dondarrion lands for half a decade, Lord Addam is looking to prove himself as a marcher lord and to the great lineage of house of Dondarrion. Growing up ridiculed by other lords for his disability and lack of martial ability, Lord Addam has become a cynical man, taking faith in the ability of himself rather than the gods. Quick to anger, Lord Addam isn’t afraid to use his authority as lord to put those he deems beneath him in their place for trying him. Lord Addam however, is known to be a fair ruler, treating criminals in his land justly, and kindly. A family man, Lord Addam will do what he can to improve the position of his house not only in the Marshes, but in the seven kingdoms, with the prospect of being close to those on the Iron Throne on his mind.
