Young Lord Ozric Terrick |

Background
The eldest son of Bolland and Tressa Terrick, He had long since known he would not be set up for something great, and so like his adored father, knew he would have to make his own way in the world. Luckily being born into an honorable House has it's advantages. As such, at a young age, Ozric was able to train with his Cousins and other young lads with the Master At Arms in the yard of Terrick's roost. And do all the things that young men get to enjoy. As he grew, he served as a page to his uncle, Lord Jerold Terrick and seemed-much like his father to carry a martial disposition.
When his youngest sibling was born-he and his kin left abruptly the Roost and made for the Vale of Arryn, where his mother's family hailed and ruled from. As such-he was summarily passed on to another knight to page and even squire under. That man would be Ser Lyn Cobray. Nearing his eighteenth year the war of the Usurper came-or as it was called in the Vale- Robert's rebellion his family was thrust right into the heart of it. His father being the Master At Arms, of course went and served his house, and Ozric went and served his knight. As such he rode behind Ser Lyn when he cut through the royal lines and earned himself his knighthood. He would finish the campaign to the end, after all the son of the Crimson Axe would have to earn himself some reputation, and a name unto himself. It was there that he earned his nickname-the Hawkeyed, due to an incident that has left him blind in one eye. Still this minor set back, has not stopped Ozric or set him back.
After the Rebellion, Ozric was offered a place as a Knight of the Vale-something he eagerly took to, and worked at. And when the Greyjoy rebellion came, he went with Bronze Yohn Royce and other Vale Lords to wreck havoc on the Island nation and put it down for good.
After the Rebellion he remained on Pyke as part of a peace keeping force-only now being recalled as his Father and family have returned to the roost. His time serving others is over-he is now focused on his family.
