Cratter Waters

Cratter Waters was the first king of the Warlord Years. He held the throne for three months before being deposed by Garbet Yel.

History
Born a bastard with an unknown father, Cratter spent his initial years in an overcrowded King's Landing orphanage. However, he was soon able to join the City Watch during Robert's Rebellion, as the Mad King began swelling their ranks in preparation for a siege of King's Landing. Following the Mad King's Slaughter, which killed many Gold Cloak commanders, Cratter seized the throne and proclaimed himself king. Many of the Gold Cloaks then swore themselves to him, wishing an end to the chaos that was engulfing the city and seeing better uses of their time than a power struggle.

After only three months on the throne, the city was stormed by Garbet Yel's army and Cratter was publicly executed.
