Negative Trait: Greyscale Starting Title(s): Ser of Clegane Keep Starting Location: Westerlands Gerold grew up during a time when House Clegane was reaching to become more than it was. If the family land did not sit on a source of gold or silver they could not mine it but that did not mean they could not work it. By the time Gerold left home to Squire his father had set up all manner of workshops in the area surrounding the day, goldsmiths, silversmiths and of course blacksmiths. One could almost call it a place of industry.

In his youth Gerold was a wild man, prone to all manner of bravado and outbursts. Even as a Squire he was energetic and volatile. It was in Essos that he changed his ways, many expected that would be the case but they never would have guessed why. Gerold traveled for a time with the Windblown Mercenary Company, fighting and whoring his way across the Eastern Continent. Many thought a little bloodletting would work it all out of his system. True enough when he returned home he was a changed man but it wasn't a few years of violence that did it. It was the Greyscale. He had survived the lethal stage of it and was safe but his left arm would never be the same. He could hold a big oak shield in place and hope he didn't need it as mobile as it once was and his right arm could still wield his morningstar, but he was never the same. The experience diseased burnt out what the murder couldn't. Gerold trained daily to make up for the weakness but took more of an interest in the 'House business.'

His father passed when Gerold was five and twenty, he married a girl shortly after but she died in the birthing bed bringing a daughter into the world. Gerold turned his attention back to continuing what his father started for a time but now he is naught and three, Gerold is revisiting the idea of marriage, his house has no true heir after all.
