Audun Mallister

"I could be a scout because I can see exactly what everything is!"

Audun Mallister (formerly Eriksson) is the adopted son of Nikos and Oriana Mallister. He has two brothers, one adopted older brother, Charles Mallister (formerly Murray) and one true-born younger brother, Bruce Mallister. He also have a niece, Aleah Rose Mallister, Charles' daughter.

Biography
Audun travelled to the safety of the Eyries walls and got an audience with Lord Haymend Tully and his steward, Oriana Mallister, with the help of Grand Maester Pyus. He became the Vales own tavern owner and opened up the Plucking Pheasant on the day of Nikos and Orianas wedding.

He lived happily up in the Eyrie with his friends and family, until the day when the volcano started to shake. He moved south, for his own safety, to the place where Kingsgrave was going to be re-built. There he met old friends from his travels, one of them being, soon to be Duke, Artorias Manwoody. In Kingsgrave he soon opened up the Slippery Beaver, wet bar and spa, together with Ally Burke.

Childhood
Audun is the son of a warlord of the hill tribes named Erik (his father took the name Erik to sound noble) and his mother, Alva. Audun was bullied by the others, including his father, because they thought it would teach Audun to become a fierce warrior and leader one day, like his father. He got bullied because he would rather be friends with people than hurting them.

When his father held blood sacrifices to the Old Gods, Audun would sneak down to the rivers or the nearby streams and make small boats out of bark and watch them float away. When the sacrificing stopped and the feasts began, Audun would run back, because if it's one thing Audun likes it's food!

Adolescence
His father would often go out raiding villages or noble escorts around the Vale, during these times Audun would go to nearby villages dressed up as a common boy and help out victims of his fathers raids. He would help the bakers and chefs in the villages to make food for the survivors. He got taught how to cook, bake and brew by the different cooks, bakers and tavern owners. From these experiences Audun would dream of having his own tavern one day, but because of family and his tribe, they would not let him.

Audun would often talk with excitement of his adventures to his mother, Alva. She was the only one who was happy for Audun and the only one who truly understood him.

The Day of His Combat Training
Eriks disappointment in Audun grew over the years until the day came when Audun turned 16 his father have had enough. He forced Audun to go on a boat with some of Eriks strongest men to train Audun in guerrilla warfare on a remote island by The Fingers east of the Vale. As his parents stood by the shore as the boat sailed away with their only son and heir, but as the boat sailed closer and closer to the horizon a storm brew. This was the last time they saw their son.

A New Dawn
Audun woke up on the shores south of the Vale. With no memory of how he got there, he finds a familiar town and decides to start his life anew! People who've met Audun before noticed that he now have a stutter, probably caused from hitting his head on a rock during the storm.

After wandering the lands and kingdoms of Westeros, meeting new friends from Dorne, one of which is none other than Artorias Manwoody, learning of stonemasonry, carpentry and further developing his cooking skills, he reaches the Vale once more. On his way up to the Eyrie, he meets Grand Maester Pyus who helps setting up an audience with the Lord of the Vale, Haymend Tully and one of his stewards, Oriana Mallister. Haymend gives Audun a house to live in and a plot inside the walls where he can build his tavern, The Plucking Pheasant.

The Day Audun Got Adopted
After living in the Vale for a few weeks, Audun got approached by Nikos and Oriana Mallister. They asked him if he wanted to be adopted. Audun agreed and threw away his old last name, Eriksson, for Orianas family name, Mallister.

A week later, Audun got a new brother, Charles Mallister (formerly Murray) who recently moved to the Eyrie from Casterly Rock. The two got a legal document from Grand Maester Pyus signed by King Charlie Baratheon saying that the two from that day was the sons of Nikos and Oriana Mallister. A few days later Nikos and Oriana had their wedding.

The Volcano
The years passed and one day the volcano under the Eyrie started to shake. His family had gone to Essos and left was the Tullys and other members together with Auduns new brother, Bruce Mallister, in the Vale, who later got sent to Essos to train in hopes of becoming more disciplined. Rhys Tully took over the throne in Haymends stead. But as the rumbling in the mountain continued, Audun feared for his life.

Kingsgrave
Audun travelled south to Dorne where he met friends of his travels, Lesha, Tobias, Maester Chadwick, Artorias Manwoody and others. They were planning on re-building Kingsgrave, Artorias' old family home, and Audun put his skills to work! He helped with the construction and food for the citizens. Lesha taught Audun the craft of gardening so that they could build the brewery.

Present Day
The years went on and Audun stayed in Kingsgrave with his friends. He hadn't heared from his family in years since they went to Essos. But one day he heard news of his brother, Charles Mallister, had become the new lord of Casterly Rock. He also learned that Charles is now married and that Audun now have a niece, Aleah Rose Mallister.

Audun also opened the Slippery Beaver, wet bar and spa in Kingsgrave together with Ally Burke.

His behavior is that of a boy from having no parents for so long, but he is gentle and don't have a single bad bone in his body!
