Robert Selmy is the young heir of House Selmy. He was born at Harvest Hall, his family's ancestral seat, an ancient fortress of the Stormlands located in the Dornish Marches. He descends from a long line of garrison commanders and renowned warriors.

A restless and adventurous child, Robert grew up dreaming of knightly deeds and battlefield glory. He received his training in a regiment of heavy cavalry, where he learned the skills expected of a noble warrior. His first experience of war came in the small but frequent border conflicts between Dorne and the Stormlands.

It was during this period that he met a woman nearly ten years his senior: Maddalena Tignac, born Morrigen, already married to another man.

The attraction between them was immediate and mutual.

At first, their relationship remained courtly and restrained. Before long, however, it became passionate and deeply romantic. They exchanged kisses, pledged themselves to one another, and dreamed of a future together. Yet their love seemed impossible. Maddalena suffered under an abusive and jealous husband, while Robert was soon expected to marry another woman.

Unable to let go, Robert continued his affair with Maddalena. The scandal eventually became public, provoking outrage throughout the Stormlands. The Dondarrions, Tignacs, and Morrigens, all demanded justice. Desperate, Robert appealed directly to the King, promising to atone for his actions if given the chance.

As part of his penance, he agreed to extend his military service and remained with a heavy cavalry regiment for several additional years.

He obeyed, though it broke his heart.

During his absence, Maddalena became a widow.

Upon his return, the two were finally free to marry. They settled together and had a daughter. For the first time in his life, Robert seemed to be maturing into a responsible lord and family man.

Then the Stormlands descended into chaos.

A rebellion erupted against Queen Elayne. During a major trade fair, Harvest Hall was attacked under cover of darkness. Lord Selmy, Robert's father, was killed in the assault.

Suddenly thrust into leadership, Robert inherited his father's title and responsibilities. He defended his lands, protected his family, and was eventually appointed Seneschal of the Stormlands, becoming commander-in-chief of the loyalist armies.

Entrusting Maddalena with the defense of the city and the organization of his logistical base, Robert gathered the region's remaining loyalist forces. What followed was a remarkable military campaign.

He won six consecutive victories.

Outnumbered two to one at Summerhall, he secured a hard-fought triumph. Two more victories followed, including a brilliant success at Storm's End and a decisive battle at the Bronzes, where the rebellion was finally crushed.

As Robert's reputation grew, so did his ambitions.

Encouraged by Maddalena's counsel and determination, he began to envision a greater future not only for himself, but for House Selmy as a whole. Having helped save the Stormlands, he could no longer ignore the possibility that destiny might have more in store for them.

And in his dreams, the woman he loved stood beside him.

For if anyone deserved to become Queen, it was Maddalena—the woman who had done so much to restore the kingdom when it needed her most.

Visually, the character is inspired by actor François Civil.

Created with AI as a test character for the RPG forum Heirs to the Throne.

Loras going berserk and killing his coworkers is Achilles coded to me

Saaame. The whole prodigious young warrior + association with beauty + Gay + grief-fueled killing spree because of his boyfriend's death + care of said dead boyfriend's body after he dies + emotional devastation because of grief afterwards... There is quite a lot to be said here!

I'm redesigning the Eyrie because the canon version is fucking ridiculous.

What do you mean you have a castle that can only be accessed by takin a narrow, single-file path up a mountain and then getting raised a dozen meters in an elevator through a floor? How did they built this fucking thing?! How?!?!
