Dannel Frey

Dannel Frey, also known as 'The Lost Frey', is the current head of House Frey and Lord of the Crossing.

Appearance and Character
Dannel has dark brown hair and big brown eyes. He is shorter than the average man due to years of poor nutrition in The Neck.

Dannel is highly proficient with a bow and arrow. He is also very skilled in using three-pronged frog spears and nets in combat.

Dannel is an ambitious man, stopping at nothing to revive his house. He is highly diligent and has a calm demeanour. Despite his short stature and young age, he is described by many as an inspiring leader.

Some people believe that Dannel may actually be a crannogman, lying about being a Frey so as to lay claim to The Twins.

Dannel is a devout follower of the Faith of the Seven.

The Slaughter
Dannel was born just two years before the Mad King's Slaughter as the second of two twins born to Walder Frey and Bethany Rosby. Dannel and his mother, as well as his twin sister Roslin, were at The Twins at the time of the slaughter due to Bethany's poor health. When they received news of the slaughter, Bethany fled with her two youngest children from The Twins to the crannogs in The North.

The Neck
Dannel's mother died of poor health after a few weeks in hiding. Dannel and Roslin are said to have survived by relying on the crannogmen for sustenance. Dannel formed a strong relationship with his providers over the years, eventually learning to provide for himself. At a young age, he gained proficiency in using frog spears and nets as both tools for fishing and as weapons.

Taking The Twins
At the age of 12, Dannel left the Neck and marched to The Twins, where he had hoped to reunite with his family. However, when they arrived they found The Twins empty, with the exception of the long-dead bodies of Frey and Targaryen soldiers. The King's army had won the battle and left The Twins unoccupied and abandoned. After discovering this, Dannel took on the title of Lord of the Crossing, and dedicated all his time to restoring his house to its former glory.

Restoring House Frey
With no nobility left alive in the area, Dannel resorted to recruiting from sellsword companies, granting them titles for their fealty. It is from these former sellswords that Dannel learnt to ride a horse, use a sword, and don armour. Eventually, Oldtown heard of these developments and sent Maester Harys to The Twins. The maester taught Dannel how to read and write, as well as more subtle skills like diplomacy.

Marriage to Sana Martell
in 304 AC, Sana Martell chose Dannel from many suitors to be her husband. As part of the terms of the matrilineal marriage, the first son, every third child before the first son, and every third child after the first son are to be of the House Frey and be educated at The Twins from the age of 6. The wedding is expected to take place in Sunspear shortly.
