SER JAMIE CASTERLY
Jamie Casterly is the heir to Casterly Rock and son of Lord Tywon Casterly, He is sometimes called the "Golden Lion" due to Jamie seeming to be perfect but he is most frequently called "Kingslayer" for betraying and murdering his own king and cousin Orson Casterly.
​
He is currently unmarried or unmatched due to Tywon holding out for a big marriage for him however Tywon wants to marry Jamie quick to strengthen the family legacy. At the start of ACFaK he is 28.
​
Ameer Akhtar says this about Jamie-"Jamie is that person who is arrogant, a bully, narcissistic but you can't do anything because 1. his dad is the richest person in the continent and 2. he knows how to fight and he's probably the best at it. Jamie Casterly should not be taken at face value though "

APPEARANCE
Jamie has flashing cat-green eyes, and a smile that cuts like a knife, his hair is the colour of beaten gold which reaches down to his chin even when parted to two sides. His face is incredibly handsome and a level of smugness is shown in his face. His jawline is well defined, everything about him makes him look like a statue.
​
Jamie is tall at 6 foot and is well built and athletic, his body is not skinny or fat but at optimum level.
A WORD ON THE FANART
This art really shows Jamie's smugness and handsomeness however that is the biggest problem I have with it. When you see Jamie he comes off as beautiful and what someone would think of as a typical knight someone gallant but in this picture you are reminded of Jamie's harshness which is not what I intended. He is with a sword and armour which could show Jamie being prideful in battle which would be fine however still with Jamie there should be a level of "kindness" shown in his face.

Jamie is surprised that she is Aeyron's man, but since she was late he's going to make her wait as he did. Jamie goes to say goodbye to Jayna again and she is still angry that Jamie took Loreon's side. Jayna says that Jamie needs to always take her side, no matter what because she's the only one that unconditionally loves him. Jamie disagrees and says that he has people other than her, and she dares him to try and let her go because she knows he'll ran back to her. Jamie goes back to his men and on their ride they antagonise Valerie, who argues with Jamie.
​
Jamie continues to mock Valerie, mocking her "ambitious gender". After hurting her some more, Jamie sends Ser Stevenson to mock her even more. Jamie comes across the bandits The Best Friends, and he goes and sits with them, despite them refusing at first, they let him when he gives them a golden dagger.

He finds the Shield of Justice at Jiping Forest and he speaks with The Hangman; Jamie decides to let them stay around - seeing as they're doing his job for him.
​
Once again Jamie's men are attacked by several bandit groups, Jamie is thrown off his horse by someone but then that person is killed and Jamie blacks out, thinking his father has come to save him. The following day Jamie wakes up to find himself chained to a tree, with Valerie on another one. She tells him that The Bloody Servants, led by Ser Hoare Lorch, have captured them. Hoare Lorch laughs at Jamie and slaps him around his face for bringing up Jamie's father, Hoare leaves someone in guard of Jamie. Jamie knows Valerie will be raped by Hoare and his men, so he tells his guard - a woman called Rogue - that if they don't respect Valerie they certainly won't respect Rogue, and that she'd be raped a certain time too. Within time, Valerie is taken off the chains to be raped and she tries to fight, Jamie convinces Hoare that Valerie's father is the biggest spice importer of Cephri and he'd pay her weight three times over if she remains untouched. Hoare agrees, and leaves her alone, but he grabs Jamie this time. The woman Rogue overheard Jamie and Hoare's talk, so asks to be left alone with Jamie. Rogue takes Jamie behind the tree but doesn't touch him. Jamie is then again chained up. Hoare hasn't had his fun so when Jamie is brought back, he goes out of his way to humiliate Jamie. Jamie again brings up his father's name and Hoare is enraged, so presses a mental pipe to Jamie's eye. Hoare breaks Jamie's sword arm and cuts it open, to throw maggots on it.
​
Jamie gets a fever from his wound and as a result falls off his horse when Hoare's men move off. Hoare mocks his state. They make camp again and this time Jamie is quiet as night. Valerie tells him to eat but he doesn't, Jamie is melodramatic and Valerie calls him a coward. Due to her words Jamie takes a bite, and then Valerie asks why he stopped her from being raped. Jamie talks about King Orson Casterly and his horridness, and then speaks about Queen Syrell. Jamie begins to sob talking about her, and he recounts how Orson Casterly raped her one time and he went to stop it, but his Kingsguard brothers stopped him. Jamie decides to go to sleep after telling her. In his dream he's back at Casterly Rock and in its deep caves with Jayna Casterly who mocks him for changing. Jamie is thrown to the depths of Casterly Rock and meets Valerie there, he and her have jagged swords that are on fire but he is confronted by his Kingsguard brothers. Valerie disappears and he is left to face his demons. They criticise him for killing King Orson Casterly and failing to protect Queen Syrell. The fire in his sword loses flame and Jamie wakes up again.
​
Jamie's arm has now festered and Valerie tries to get Hoare's men to check it, but Hoare remarks that it's good. When Hoare finally takes a look at Jamie's arm, it looks bad so he sends Jamie off to their healer. Jamie meets the healer, a name called Doctor Pyg, who wears a pig's mask and oinks like a pig. Jamie doesn't trust him to keep his arm on, so threatens if he tries to amputate him then Jamie's killing him. Jamie eventually passes out from the pain of the surgery and wakes with his arm bettered. Hoare Lorch greets Jamie when he gets out of the tent and tells him that his ransom has been paid, Jamie thinks it's his father or brother or even Jayna but that's not the case. Lord Paxter Redwyne has paid his ransom and is taking him to Hunter's Hill.
​
At Hunter's Hill Jamie goes to the bathhouse to clean and finds Valerie there. He sits in a bath and begins to talk about how people treat him, after Valerie says he's lucky to have his arm. He explains to Valerie everything that happened during the last few days of The Youth Rebellion, how Orson Casterly had Red Fìros placed around the Red Keep in an effort to kill everyone in the city, if it fell. He explains how Orson Casterly told Jamie to bring back his father's head when Tywon entered the city; and how Orson gave the order to light the Red Fìros. Jamie chased after Lord Rossart and killed him, preventing the order, and then turned his own sword onto Orson so he couldn't give the order. He spent the rest of the time hunting the pyromancers, killing them all before returning to the throne room where Ulthor Young saw him and christened him Kingslayer. Jamie breakdowns and collapses in the pool but Valerie holds him upright calling for help, but he imagines it to be Orson Casterly calling for help against Jamie.
