Biography[]
Joseran Goodbrother was the firstborn child born to Torgon Goodbrother and Alva Greyjoy in the year 344. From a young age, he showed in interest in learning how things worked, both in the shipyard of Great Wyk and at his House’s mining operations. By the time he was one and ten, he was accompanying his father on sea voyages and learning the reaver’s craft. His axe became his constant companion, both tool and weapon in his hand. His father taught him the navigator’s art, since the sea was vast and understanding trade routes would show him where to find the best prizes to take.
He married Saga Sunderly late in the year 363, but had little time with his new bride before King Viserys called his banners to war. The Ironborn gladly accepted the invitation to raid Tyrosh and the Stepstones without limitation and set sail from the Iron Islands. Lord Arryk’s health had grown too frail for such an expedition, but he declared he should die at sea rather than in his bed. Practical command of the Goodbrother forces fell to Joseran’s father Torgon. Joseran was given command of his first longship, the Firebrand. Not long after reaching Tyrosh, Lord Arryk went to the Drowned God’s halls.
The four years spent at war in Essos taught Joseran much about leading men in battle, and his father gave him command of more ships and men as he proved himself. Repairing ships damaged in battle or taken as prizes furthered his knowledge of engineering, as did the occasional opportunity to investigate captured siege engines. He took a fancy to a girl named Mia, and had a son named Quenton in the year 366. His crew thought he’d take the girl as his salt wife, but when the Ironborn returned home in 368, Quenton returned to Iron Islands and Mia remained behind.
After returning to Hammerhorn, he and his wife Saga became reacquainted, and she was soon with child. Asha Goodbrother was born in the year 369, but the delivery had been difficult, and Saga passed away less than a week later. In the year 377, Lord Torgon died unexpectedly while on a reaving trip. A snapped cable on his ship struck him on the side of his head, and attempts to relieve the swelling on his brain only worsened his condition. Joseran became Lord of Hammerhorn, and named his brother Harwyn his heir.
