Emmons Pyke, baseborn among the jagged cliffs of the Iron Islands, was never destined for white cloaks or royal courts. Yet even in youth, he displayed the mind of a master strategist and the arm of a fearsome fighter. While other ironborn gloried in reckless fury, Pyke measured every risk, watched every tide, and treated war as both science and art.
He first gained renown during a coastal campaign where he faced a host nearly twice his size. Rather than meet them head-on, he feigned retreat, concealing his reserves along cliffs and dunes. As the tide rose at dusk, his hidden forces struck, crushing the enemy between steel and surf. From that day, soldiers whispered that the shadow of the kraken had descended upon them.
In personal combat, Pyke is as deadly as he is calm. Seven scars mark his body from battles survived and foes bested, yet his resolve has never wavered. Knights who cross him speak of precision and patience, not anger — a man who calculates every strike with the mind of a general and the reflexes of a warrior.
Though denied noble birth, he has proven himself more steadfast than many highborn knights. As Lord Commander of King Aegon VI Blackfyre's Kingsguard And King Haegon I Blackfyre's Kingsguard, he is the shield and sword of the Crown. In council, he is measured and incisive; on the battlefield, decisive and inevitable. The smallfolk say that wherever he stands guard, the realm need fear no storm.
Lead the Slaughter at Scarlet Harm and defeated a pirate crew and also slain Galon Viden In battle.
He is The Kraken's Shadow, the quiet doom beneath the waves, the Blackfyre king's strategist and executioner.
