History[]
Daven Lefford was born in 340 AC, the third and youngest child of late lord Lyle Lefford. Daven had a strict childhood, being born from a lord who took part in the War of The Rock in which his family sided with Tyrek Lannister being a key player in cutting the supply lines of Martyn´s allies.
He was born a natural leader, always showing courage and militaristic skills when needed and having learned to use a sword from a young age; unlike this brother Tytos who wanted to make a name from himself away from the family name, Daven valored family above all other things. As he approached the age of squiring, Daven was taken to Castely Rock to squire for lord Tyrek which was a great honnor for him, and closing the ties between the families even more, becoming a good friend of Jason Lannister the youngest son of lord Tyrek; Lord Tyrek always saw in Daven a loyal and skillful bannermen.
During his time at The Rock he was bethroed to Jeyne Serret (one of the ladies in waiting for Elly Lannister -lord Tyrek´s daughter-) a woman with high cheekbones, vivid blue eyes and straight black hair who was raised a lady and possesses all the traditional feminine graces. The couple had their first daughter soon after marrying a girl named Olenna born in 361 AC and soon after in 362 AC an heir was born a boy named Damon.
When Jason Lannister and Sarelle Westerling started planning a way to overtrow Tytos Kenning, Lyle and Daven were the first to rally to their cause and after a lot of planning both of them participated in The Raid on Casterly Rock along with other loyalists; after a fierce battle the raid was a succes, Lord Lyle chained Damon Brax to a wall of the Rock and Ellyn Lannister was crowned as the rightfull Lady of the Rock.
Soon after the Raid on the Rock when Daven returned to the Golden Tooth, lady Jeyne Serret got pregnant again, this time of a son, who was named Tommen after the last Baratheon to sit on the Iron Throne.
Long years have past since those days, and late lord Lyle died at the age of 70 in year 380 AC.
