Richard Redwyne

Richard Redwyne is Lord of the Arbor, and the elder son of Lord Ryam Redwyne, who had been Master of Ships on the Small Council of King Aegon VI Targaryen. During the early portion of the Second Dance, Richard was assigned to protect the Reach's coastline from the threat of an ironborn invasion, however, unsatisfied with his command, he abandoned the faction of Lord Baelor Tyrell in favour of Princess Elaena, taking with him the Redwyne fleet. Although he initially found great success in Elaena's court, his influence faded a great deal upon the death of King Jaehaerys II, after the Tyrells joined their forces with that of Elaena.

After the war's conclusion, Richard was politically ostracized for his betrayal, and became reclusive, living in constant fear of Lord Baelor's retribution. He was shunned by his fellow Reach lords, and never again rose to a position of prominence.
