Bio:
Damon Arryn II is the current lord of the Vale. His face is young, and indeed he is young. From his birth, he and his older brother, Shan, have been at odds. His father, Damon the First, had always seen Shan as a man who would be a poor ruler. Shan was hot tempered, and used his status to intimidate others. Their father, after hearing of Shan's rape and murder of a maid at the Eyrie, had his own son bastardized. Shan was thrown from the Eyrie by Ser Geldren, the first Damon's closest friend and body guard. Damon the second was only 20 when this occurred, but he never knew the reason for it. His mother was so grief stricken over the loss of her son she threw herself from the Moon Door. After 2 years of waiting, and building a noble enough following, Damon performed a short and simple coup, taking control of the Vale. His father was tried by combat, and Geldren was killed by Damon's own bodyguard Ser Irralias. Before his execution, his father revealed the reason why his brother was killed, but his cries to his son fell on deaf ears. He was thrown from the Eyrie, and Damon took control of the throne. Now, only 3 months after his father's death, Damon is working to eliminate the problems of his lands, and maintain a good relationship with the other Houses of Westeros. However, he is unmarried and without an heir. The rumors that fly around the court say that he lies with men, not women. His father held a hate for the Starks after the death of his daughter in the fire of Winterfell, but Damon II does not continue that hate. He has been seeking the bastard off spring of his brother's romps, and has caught and the male child, Delton, is in his custody, being groomed as an heir. During his brief time as Lord of the Eyrie, he has made many changes to the Vale. He has stepped up on taking down banditry, and has been working on fortifying the defenses of the Vale. He has also begun work on new forms of weaponry, and is working on building new ports to increase trade.

((I plan to work more on a longer family tree, but this will suffice for now.))
Reputation: Well loved in his own court, except by a small group he calls Loyalists, who supported the old Lord, his father.
