Leyton Hightower

Leyton Hightower rules Oldtown with the titles that come with his house: Voice of Oldtown, Lord of the Port, Lord of the Hightower, Defender of the Citadel and Beacon of the South. Rumor holds that his fortune rivals that of the Lannisters.

As a young man he was unhorsed by Ser Barristan Selmy at a tourney held in Storm's End. When Tywin Lannister raised the idea of marrying Tyrion to one of his daughters, Leyton turned him down.

He is on his fourth marriage, now to Rhea Florent. He has not come down from the Hightower in a decade.

In 289 AC Leyton attends the tourney at Lannisport held to celebrate the Iron Throne's victory over the Greyjoy Rebellion. There his youngest daughter, Lynesse, was crowned queen of love and beauty by Ser Jorah Mormont, who had fallen for her.

That same night Jorah asked for her hand, and Leyton agreed.

When the War of the Five Kings breaks out, Leyton sides with Renly Baratheon and his claim to the Iron Throne.

After the battle of the Shield Islands, Leyton receives word from Willas Tyrell asking him to strengthen Oldtown's defences against the danger posed by the ironborn.

Leyton stays at the Hightower with his eldest daughter, Malora, while his sons take on his duties.
