Targarth Longhorn

Born in the Year of Spilled Blood (1315 DR), Targarth Longhorn was the only member of the Council of Man not to inherit his position. Sponsored by the old duke Pryden Daggerford to assume command of the geographically important but recently leaderless Barony of Ardeepsward, Targarth Longhorn's ascent to Baron was a controversial choice considering his recent history as a privateer and pirate. By placing the low-blood Captain Targarth into a position of authority and responsibility, the old duke hoped to eliminate a naval threat and gain an ally on the Council in one move, and so far his reasoning seems to be holding. Baron Longhorn has revitalized the northern barony, fended off the depredations of his former pirate brethren, and his low birth has made him an outsider and untouchable by some of the more ambitious members of the old blood. Only time will tell where his true loyalties lie.
