Jar Tawney

Jar Tawney was a landless master sworn to Grayce Tarlor.

History
Initially one of the many men without hope clinging to their status in Winterfell, Jar was one of the men chosen for the First Northern-Essos Trade Mission. By far the most effective member of the expedition, Grayce recognised his talents and assigned him to a years long task: founding the Bank of Whiteharbour.

Gathering experts from Essos, Jar was responsible for most of the bank's infrastructure, while Grayce organised financing.

Accomplice of the Tailor's Guild
Having completed his task, Jar traveled to King's Landing to ensure the safety of Robert Tarlor. Trying to learn of gossip and secrets, Jar was eventually contacted by the Tailor's Guild, who offered him 1000 gold to get Youma from a drop off point just outside the Red Keep to the Vale. He accepted, although the plan went awry when Robert managed to catch Youma at the rowboat Jar had prepared. She was able to shake Robert with arrow fire, one of which found its mark in his stomach, and the duo escaped.

They made it to their merchant ship in time, but were soon caught by the Royal Navy. The vessel was sunk, its crew slaughtered, and the duo barely escaped by leaping from the cabin window. Stranded on a small rocky island, it seemed as though they would succumb to thirst. However, a pirate's ship found them, the captain capturing Youma and stabbing Jar through the stomach. His last words were a plea for Youma to burn his body, and an attempt to impart some important information, passing out before he could tell her.
