Ser Adam Stein

Ser Adam Stein was no knight when Valera got to know him, but a mercenary being nursed back to health in the Brotherhood's fortress. She greatly aided in his recovery.
He swore to her he would be eternally thankful for her help and even after he was elevated into nobility he still showed up from time to time to show her a trick or two with the blade. The free healing the oft-injured man received upon his visits was surely but a trifling benefit.
