Lord Florian Darklyn (8022-Present)
Lord Florian was born in 8022 to Lord Robin of Duskendale. He is the oldest of 6 living children of Lord Robin. He served briefly as King Maegor the Cruel's Master of Whispers.

After he found out his wife Lady Marya had an affair with a courtier, they were both imprisoned and Lady Marya was executed. After her death Lord Florian quickly remarried another courtier, Lady Eldacey. She gave him a daughter, Alyssa Darklyn, but later died after a period of illness. Following a brief period of mourning, Lord Florian met the lovely Rhalla at the court of house Celtigar. He shortly thereafter took her hand in marriage and she gave him 3 daughters and a son, Daemon Darklyn, the new heir to Lord Florian. Lord Florian was also named one of the winners of the Beardfyre, commemorating the victory of King Aegon II Targaryen, twice.
