Character Info
Ser William Caron, known affectionately as "Nightingale" and jestingly as "Ser Billy the Beautiful," embodies the paradox of martial prowess wrapped in unparalleled beauty. At 28, he stands tall at over 6'2", his appearance deceivingly delicate for a man of his skill and strength. Ser William's looks, often the subject of both admiration and jest, mask the heart and soul of a warrior considered by many to be the finest swordsman in the Dornish Marches.
Despite the teasing and misconceptions about his appearance, William's reputation on the battlefield and in the training yard is unblemished. His elegance in combat mirrors his physical form, making him a formidable opponent and a respected figure among his peers.
Beyond his martial abilities, William is a man of culture and intellect. His talents extend to music, where his skill as a musician is nearly as renowned as his prowess with a sword. A student of military history, he possesses a keen understanding of warfare and strategy, often blending historical knowledge with his practical experiences to great effect.
William's personal life is marked by a deep and abiding love for his wife, Lady Aubrey Crakehall. Their union is one of mutual respect and affection, standing as a testament to his capacity for deep emotional connection and loyalty.
His allegiance during the War of Summer's End, fighting for Otho Bracken rather than backing Vaegon Targaryen, reflects his independence of thought and the depth of his loyalty, qualities that, like his brother Mason, distinguish him among the Stormlords.

Amidst the admiration and respect that Ser William garners, there exists a shadowy rivalry with Ser Ryan Ashford, a popular but secretly sinister knight.

Their enmity has manifested in numerous heated battles in tournaments, where they stand evenly matched, their clashes a spectacle of skill and intensity.
This rivalry is further complicated by William's past romantic entanglement with Lady Sofia Ashford, Ryan's sister. Despite their genuine affection for each other, their love was forbidden by Ryan, who vehemently opposed their union. The unresolved emotions from this tumultuous affair linger as a bitter undercurrent in the ongoing rivalry between William and Ryan, adding a layer of complexity to their already fraught relationship
