Maester Marwell

Maester Marwell, Schooled by numerous Maesters, Brynnan was his favorite and was key in his decision to travel to Westeros. Years were spent in study, getting as many links for his Maester’s chain as possible; finally he has gotten Valarian steel link, recent years of work with the red witches and possessions has enabled him to acquire this link. For this link is the one that denotes he’s learned in the ways of magic. Numerous teachers had warned him about the pursuit of it, but he’s shrugged off what he considers being mere superstitious predisposition and continued to pursue the subject with fervor. Currently, he feels he is most erudite in the Maester arts dealing with healing and potion-making and has amassed numerous potions and mixtures. His combined skill healing and study of magic has led to a fascination with the Red Priests and it has paid off. Necromancy has been a subject his Citadel instructors actively kept him from, fearing study of these dark arts would lead him down a macabre path - a path his teachers fear. He does have a dark side, and rightfully so. He feels strongly that the power to heal is very close to the power to take life and he’s been scolded numerous times for his study of forbidden subjects. Now that he’s attained the title of Maester from the Citadel and ready to serve, he hopes to keep attaining knowledge and gaining access to older books, to continue studying those subjects his mentors had named as forbidden.

He was Placed in Winterfell under Lord and Lady Brentwood after the war with the Iron Islands. He has seen the Lordship passed from the Tritons to the Zanes.
