Old Timer
Name: Lord Robert Gareth “Lord Gareth”
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Side: Neutral
Race: Human
Occupation: Master of Whisperers in the Queen’s Council, the spymaster and intelligence overseerer. Owns multiple brothels and taverns around the realm.
Appearance: Gareth has sharp features, a small pointed beard on his chin, and dark hair with threads of grey running through it.He has laughing gray-green eyes like a cat , but when Petyr laughs, his eyes do not. His breath is always fresh, smelling like mint, which he has always enjoyed chewing. Standing at 6’1, and a thin 160lbs.
Strengths:
Intelligence-
Gareth, whose intelligence helped him advance in terms of power and status. He possesses considerable skill in intelligence and literature, as well as manipulation, and has a gift for political improvisation
Manipulative-
Gareth uses his slender stature to his advantage, which many use to deter him. Most perceive him as a quiet, little man who sits in the shadows. Although those who truly know his nature know there is more behind his eyes.
Ruthless-
Some men,engage in court intrigue and murder because they feel they are doing what they must to ensure safety and order for the realm as a whole. Meanwhile, Gareth does these things just because he can: he enjoys exerting power over other people. Sometimes this can take the form of outwitting or outmaneuvering major court players, also enjoying crushing the powerless when he thinks he can get away with it.
Flaws:
Insecure-
Gareth started out as an impoverished noble from an insignificant minor House in the "Rake" peninsula of the Vale, but felt constantly looked down upon for his relatively lowly status by much higher noblemen.
Lustful-
In truth, underneath Gareth’s people-mask, he is a cold sociopath who hungers for power over others basically for its own sake.
Cynical-
Despite his keen skill at assessing the emotions and goals of others and using this knowledge to manipulate them, he has a disturbing, highly warped, skewed view of the world.
Personality: Robert is a cunning, Machiavellian, unpredictable, and ruthless manipulator of court politics. He is at times capable of putting on a seemingly friendly face with a friendly smile - but his eyes don't smile when his mouth does. The exact inner motivations that drive Baelish are unclear, as are his ultimate goals, but he has no real loyalty or genuine affection for anyone. Behind his smiles and forced mild manners, Gareth is shrewd and calculating, willing to casually dispose of people who trusted him, like a man replacing a coat he no longer needs. He is an extremely intelligent man, not only a genius at intelligence matters but at cynically controlling those around him. As many observe, he is a grasper from a minor House, with a very great skill at befriending and ultimately maneuvering powerful people.
Background:
Robert grew up poor, to a horrible father who could never manage his territory, and a mother who was a milkmaid. Practically a bastard, he was left to forge his own path in life, while constantly looked down upon and bullied for his size and stature. But with years, he found knowledge being loren powerful than a sword, to the dismay of his father. This dismay rose into fury, and resulted in Gareth murdering his own father with a fork at his 16th birthday. Inheriting the land his father poorly ruled, Robert decided to act differently, enlisting a baron to manage his land while he presued larger ventures.
Moving to the capital, he quickly acquired a small tavern known as “The Iron Lady” and began to run the facility. In under a year he made the tavern the most profitable in all the capital, while having his workers feed him information from the drunken men and nobles. With this information, he blackmailed his way to power, taking a fitting role in the Queen’s Council.
