The following are others within House Marsten that may be chosen as characters by players. While a little of their background has been written already, these quasi-pregens are up for grabs and whoever claims them may draw up their own stats for these characters as they see fit.
Septon Aeryn
The sept in Hartsbridge may not be the largest or most beautiful in Westeros, but Septon Aeryn is quite content to be its septon. With a holy site nearby and a town and noble family counted among the local faithful, he feels he has the religious lives of those in his charge well in hand.
Septon Aeryn is of modest ambition. Born to Riverlands smallfolk, he was given to the local sept as a child, there taught to read and write along with the mysteries of the Seven. He is in his late-thirties, tall and thin with brown hair and a penetrating gaze. If he were not godsworn, there are many families who would happily see him wed their daughters, but that is not to be. The only thing that bothers Septon Aeryn is that the Marsten family rarely comes to worship at the town sept, keeping their prayers and ceremonies in the old house sept, away from the townsfolk. When Lord Corben was alive they came more often, but Lady Isobel rarely does, nor is Septon Aeryn easily able to gain an audience with her.
Gorton Hare
Hare is the town smith and farrier, keeping horses shod and plows sharp and blades repaired. He is not a weaponsmith or armorer, but Ser Markus would rather have someone keep the horses and tack in good repair regardless. Hare is well liked in town and is often chosen to represent the merchants from the market to Luke Seldon in disputes, a fact for which Seldon bears him little love.
Rhaemon Ansel
The town’s most honored (and ancient) inhabitant, Rhaemon gets respect throughout Hartsbridge. He’s rumored to be almost 80 years old, enough that his hair is thin and white and his clouded violet eyes see very little anymore. Supposedly he was descended from the local Targaryen family branch that once lived here, but he has no relatives now and relies on a pension he receives from the Marsten family and the kindness of his neighbors. He keeps a dovecote at his home with only a couple of ravens in it, and he’s rumored to know how to use them as a maester does, though no one in town ever saw a chain around his neck.
