Alix Peake

Alix Peake is a young, landless noble sworn to the service of House Tarlor. Currently residing in the Stepstones, he serves as the Northern liaison to Tyrosh and Lys.

Appearance
Young and short, Alix was smaller than most of the boys he grew up with. He has a fondness for simple clothes, but still keeps a set of armour with him.

History
Born in Winterfell, Alix was the only child of his mother, who died of disease when he was 10. The young boy was known throughout the castle for his curiosity, and he dove into studies of history and arts, while still maintaining a modest martial training.

Taking part in the First Northern-Essos Trade Mission, Peake returned to Whiteharbour sullen over his failure. Soon, a raven arrived from Grayce Tarlor, assigning him to the Stepstones. Taking residence in the court of Lord Nestor Batko, Alix used his proximity to Tyrosh and Lys to continue seeking trade deals.

With Tyrosh fearing the new kingdom on their doorstep, Alix quickly spread word through Tyrosh that the ships which conquered the Stepstones were built with Northern lumber, only a partial lie, and the city's administrators decided they needed to upgrade their fleet. This allowed him to secure a ridiculously favourable deal for the North, bringing in an abundance of food in exchange for wood and iron.
