10th Level (Man-at-arms 2 / Noble 6 / Commander 2)

Roose Bolton is Lord of the Dreadfort and the head of House Bolton. Though he is plain-faced and average in build, he unnerves most who encounter him. He has a quiet yet compelling voice, sinister and emotionless. His eyes are pale blue in colour, combining with his dispassionate expressions to give him an icy, inhuman gaze. He commonly wears black ring mail, and a cloak of pink spotted with red.

Despite Roose’s status as a loyal bannerman to Winterfell, his folk were once enemies of the Starks. Their sigil is a flayed man, depicting their ancient custom of wearing the skins of their enemies. A cunning military commander, he is ruthless and without pity. Ultimately, Bolton is an opportunist, who strikes when he senses weakness. Many of his own folk fear him, for Roose Bolton is rumoured to carry on the traditions of his forefathers.
