Gender: Male
Titles: High Lord of the Three Castles, the Twins and Seagard

House Sigil: Allegiance paid to: House Baelish
Appearance (Picture appreciated): Personality: Raemon is a proud man, almost to a fault. One would have to be being from perhaps the greatest of the "New" Houses that arose from the Century of Blood. His distinguished heritage dating back to both the now legendary Walder Frey and the second Conquerors Daenrys and Aemon have led for a quite large superiority complex only strengthened by his tourny prowess when he was younger. Though his skill with a sword was unqestionable, Raemon's true strength lies in the cunning part of his personality, coming from his Frey side. Indeed, his plotting and planning are unqestioned by those close to him, and many in the nobility of the Riverlands believe it is not a matter of if, but when he plans to seize the Iron Throne.
Skills: Though a skilled warrior, Raemon's greatest strength is his intellect, being one of the more brilliant minds to arise since the Invasion of the Others. His prowess in battle tactics and court politics have made him somewhat of a renowned figure, even at a younger age for a lord.
Weaponry (If any): None
Military Strength: 10,000
Biography:: Raemon was born in 373 AC, when Spring was still young and the realm was just barely recovering from the Second Militant Crisis. His father, Lord Devyn the Craven, was considered a disgrace to the realm for making peace with the Militants in exchange for his life and fleeing back to the Twins given the chance. This shattered the already fragile reputation of their young house and their hold on the lands that the fleeting remaining members of House Frey still considered theirs. Growing up, Raemon was sent to play squire for King Gaemon, as a sign of continued faith and binding between House Flammen and House Targaryen. In King's Landing, Raemon excelled in his book learning, but lagged in his skill in combat. However, over time and with work Raemon managed to transform himself into a skilled fighter and jouster. He was no prodigy, but he was respected on the field.
In his 16th year, Raemon was called back to the Twins to deal with a rogue army lead by Stefford Rivers, "The Last Frey". In a battle the would become known as The Blood Fork, Raemon used the full force of the Three Castles to surround and slaughter the better trained but much less numerous forces of Stefford, before executing him over the Trident at the Twins. This feat would lead to Raemon's first nickname, "The New Flame". However, with Raemon's cousin Raemon Vance becoming much more reknowned for his time in the tourney circuit, Raemon would soon become better known as "The Valyrian" due to his old freehold looks.
Raemon's life became rather uneventful as he became the master-at-arms at the Twins, serving for his father while he waitied to inherit. In his 23rd year he married Saera Blackfyre, and in the next year had his firstborn son, Aegon. Almost conviently, Lord Devyn died a month after Aegon was born and Raemon took over the throne of the Three Castles. He managed his lands well and became one of the wealthier lords in the realm over the next eight years of his life, during which his second son, Baelor, and his daughter Daenerys were born. Raemon also consolidated his power within the political sphere of the unstable riverlands, making alliances and deals to increase his standing as a lord.

History of the House: The history of House Flammen begins in 305 AC, following the Invasion of the Others. House Frey, though devastated by the winter and the wars, still had far too many members for comfort. This was proved when Walder Frey finally at the age of 97. The Chaos that followed would be known as the War of Freys, with the entire Riverlands thrown into Chaos due to not only winter, but various armies each trying to seize control of the Twins. With the rest of the kingdoms just reaching a tentative peace, House Baelish is no place to intervene, and each Frey laying claim to Walder's seat or backing another, there was nothing to stop another bloody conflict.
The fight would go on for two years, until Bryan Frey, looking to avenge the death of his father Walton and end the conflict plauging his homeland, secretly struck a deal with the Iron Throne to ensure lasting peace even after the conflict. Bryan, with supplies from King's Landing, would finish the fight once and for all in the Targaryen's name and would not contest House Baelish's hold over the Riverlands, if his son could have the hand of one of the Co-ruler's daughters. The bargain was struck and Bryan quickly and efficiently fought his way through the Riverlands, making his base at Seagard, which had lain dormant since the extermination of House Mallister at the hands of the Others. From Seagard, he marched forth on the current holder of the Twins, his cousin Black Walder. Black Walder met Bryan between Seagard and The Twins, and it was there that Bryan won a stunning victory, using both tactics and wildfire from King's Landing to decimate Black Walder's army. It was in this battle that Bryan bravely charged through intense infernos, even during winter, and became known as Bryan "Flame".
After quickly taking control of the Twins, Bryan began a second campaign known as the Pruning. He rapidly and ruthlessly wiped out any opposition to his rule over the Frey lands, killing large swaths of his family and forcing the rest to hide in various castles around Westeros. It was because of this act that Bryan seperated himself from the rest of his house, instead taking the name of House Flammen and uniting the titles of The Twins and Seagard into the Three Castles. Bryan then held up his end of the bargain, bending the knee to the Iron Throne and House Baelish, and in turn Bryan received a promise of that his son would marry a royal daughter.
Bryan would have three sons, respectively Petyr, Patrek, and Stevron. Petyr the eldest would marry Shaera Targaryen, and have a son, Devyn and two daughters, Maella, and Rhaenys. Devyn would go onto marry Aurane Velaryon, a distant unlanded cousin of the Sealords, and have two sons, Raemon and Baelor, and two daughters, Walda and Maegelle.
