Biography: Born in 289 AC to Lord Baelor Hightower, Jovaryn was born for leadership and battle. His early childhood was spent being a ward to Lord Mace Tyrell, where he witnessed "Reach Chivalry" at its finest. Jovaryn was quite fond of his mentor Mace, and has only pleasant memories of Highgarden. At the age of 14 he was squired to Ser Garlan Tyrell, where he learned the art of the sword, eventually becoming a master. By the age of 18, he was anointed as a knight, and took his place beside his father, whom groomed him for leadership. Jovaryn became a regular in tourneys, usually taking place in both the jousts and melees. Jovaryn kept away from the dangerous realm of politics, and speaks plainly and honestly with everyone. Jovaryn and House Hightower flourished in these times of peace, and their influence spread along with the Tyrells. He married a beautiful woman named Talana, a daughter of Lord Redwyne.
In 318 AC,Lord Baelor Hightower was summoned by Mace Tyrell to Highgarden, leaving Jovaryn in charge of Oldtown. Unbeknownst to them, Mace would be arrested and executed by Jon and Daenerys Targaryen. When word reached Jovaryn, he mustered his forces, and was the first bannerman of the Tyrells to muster. Jovaryn led his forces under Lord Willas Tyrell, and took part in the assault on King's Landing. After, he assumed the lordship of Oldtown and became a just ruler. He has always been loyal to the Tyrell family, and his advice is well regarded and received amongst them. Lord Willas Tyrell once called him,"the Stalwart Guardian of the Reach". He has taken that as his alias, and some refer to him as simply "Stalwart".

Biography: Born in 309 AC to Lord Jovaryn Hightower and Lady Talana Redwyne, he is the current heir to Jovaryn. From an early age, he showed great interest in swordplay and knights. Lord Jovaryn took notice of this, and had him taught beginning courses. He was warded to his grandfather, Lord Redwyne at the age of 8, and remained there until 11. By age 11, he was squired to Lord Redwyne's son. He excelled as not only a squire, but as a swordsman himself. At the age of 18, he was knighted. He entered several tourneys over the course of the following year, and won his own nameday tourney at Oldtown. He became known as the "Stormblade", after winning a melee held at Arbor. He showed impressive swordsmanship and horsemanship. However, Ryndar became "bored" of tourneys, and wanted the taste of real battle.
In 328 AC, a group of bandits began ransacking some farmsteads on Hightower land. Ser Ryndar led a handful of knights and soldiers, and tracked the cutthroats down. During the skirmish with them, Ryndar stood like an "Iron-Wall", and became known as "The Iron-Wall of the Hightower". The first taste of battle humbled the arrogant and proud knight. Ryndar is seen as loyal and strong, like his father. He has no great care for politics. He takes great strides to protect his family, especially his younger brother Olyvar. He is very picky with the topic of marriage and women.

Biography (At least 2 well written paragraphs) Ser Olyvar Hightower is the second son of Lord Jovaryn Hightower and Lady Talana Redwyne. He was born a year after Ryndar in 310 AC. Like his father and elder brother, he had great interest in knights and chivalry from an early age. He mastered horsemanship by the age of 14, and was seen as second to his brother Ryndar with the sword. He was warded to Lord Willas Tyrell up until the age of 15, when he was squired to his son, Loras Tyrell. Olyvar became close to his mentor, Loras, and the two travelled across the Reach. Olyvar was knighted at 17, and entered a number of tourneys for honor and glory. He bested his brother Ryndar in a joust i
at Oldtown, and was dubbed,"The Silver Knight", for his tendency to wear silver armor. He is a handsome youth, and it is said that all maidens weep and lust for him above all others. Ser Ryndar called him,"the Rose of the Hightower", after a group of maidens nearly rioted as the two passed by.
Olyvar seeks nothing more than glory as a knight. He views himself as superior to other knights, and calls himself the "pinnacle of chivalry". He is loyal to his family, but even more so to Lord Loras Tyrell, and acts as his chief bodyguard. He is very well-mannered, even more so than his older brother. His glory has surpassed Ryndar's as a tourney knight, and he is revered throughout the Seven Kingdoms.
