    Ilyn Payne last edited by gravenraven on 12/16/23 08:28PM View full history

    Ser Ilyn Payne was the commander of Tywin Lannister's personal guard when he was Hand of the King for Aerys II Targaryen. Once he was heard saying that it was Lord Tywin who truly ruled the kingdom. King Aerys had his tongue ripped out with hot pincers for that comment.

    He is a grim man, tall and thin, with a beardless, pockmarked face. He has a deep set of pale, colorless eyes, hollow cheeks, and is almost completely bald. He wears iron-grey chainmail over boiled leather and a large greatsword over his right shoulder. It has been mentioned that Payne lives for nothing but killing.

    He was named the royal executioner by King Robert as a wedding present for Lord Tywin. He is an extremely skilled executioner and has never botched an execution, seldom requiring more than a single stroke to finish off his charges. His appearance, as well as his silence, terrifies many people, a suitable trait for the King's Justice.
