Personal History: Berick was born the third son of a minor member of House Harlaw. As a third son, he was worthless to his father, and sent to the Kings Landing as a squire. Berick soon showed an affinity with the blade and all things violent, but it was his temper for which he was truly renowned. Rumors, unconfirmed, circulated of an incident involving the noble knight he squired too. Reports were vague , but it emerged that Berick had allegedly been discovered drnk on his masters wine. Enraged by the prospect of chastisement from the arrogant whoreson, Berick had beaten the knight bloody, and it had taken three men-at-arms to restrain him. Strangelt, that same knight later gave him his knighthood, if only to be rid of him. Until recently, he was to be found in the alehouses and brothels of Kings Landing, and has been forced to flee home because of high debts. His father had died long ago, and his eldest brother turned him away, declaring him a disgrace. Instead, Berick hasnow been forced to seek refuge with his cousin, Lord Harlaw of Pyke, in the hopes that he will be more merciful.
Character Physical Description: Berick is burly, almost seven feet tall, reasonably heavy, but with muscle. He keeps his hair cropped short, and many men have been surprised at his grace, odd enough to distract them while he rips their guts out.

Given the name Berick "Bullblades" for the two swords he carries strapped across his back,a nd the strength and skill with which he wields them.
