the man who shook the seven kingdoms; morgon swann,
out of all the swanns, none were so unique as morgon. and it was this uniqueness that played part in the so called cruelness others appointed him to. he was not evil, in the same sense as maegor had been. but morgon’s most defining feature, perhaps, was his prideful nature. for he prided himself greatly on the fact that he was the first born, thus the heir of house swann if his feather would pass. but he also prided himself on being a stronger sorcerer than his father.
but behind that cold facade, lay a man who loved his family.
no lord, no lady, and certainly no king nor queen would come between morgon swann and wife and his children — they would rather face a dragon, than offend him. morgon loves his family more than his very life. loves his family more than his duties to the seven kingdoms. he’d go into great lengths to assure their safety.
if his daughters demanded objects, he’d give them on a whim — seen with rennala’s abundance of thirteen hunting hounds. which many thought obscene, perhaps it was to everyone else other than the swann’s themselves.
she ought to be his favorite, so they say.
yet anyone refused to elaborate, even the siblings. every child is favored by a family member.
if rennala, or any other of his daughters, would demand the world to burn. he’d do so.
he is a swann, after all.
they say he could’ve had the seven kingdoms if he wanted to. but he didn’t. he treats the game of thrones like a battle of wits, with no opponents to threaten him. deliberately causing trouble, just because. other than his very own children, and wife. morgon has lost rather many games of intelligence against his beloved merdith.
despite him being a family father, one should never forget his position of authority. having served rhaenyra as hand of the king during the dance of dragons. morgon’s influence still can be felt. like a hovering hand playing with his puppets. even lord loren redwyne of the arbor, while intelligent, could never compare.
I am teasing my blackfyre dr intro. who ought to stop me?
