Cressidus

Cressidus the Scholar or 'the Wisdom', depends on who is calling for him or looking for him. Those that address him as the Wisdom, knows he prefers this, as anyone can be a 'scholar'.

Cressidus' focus of knowledges are:

Cressidus has little time, interest or patience in dealing with the Ravens and is happy to have Nicodemus fill this role for him, as he writes for requests to the Citadel and other Houses for all the tomes, texts and history he can find on subjects as they peak his interest and become of interest to Prince Knox or the House.

Cressidus was accepted by the Citadel to become a Maester at the age of 22, but during his travel he was ambushed by a raiding party from the Clans. He was wounded but managed to kill three of the five Clansmen, the surviving two fled and shortly thereafter Cressidus succumbed to his injuries. He came to four days later in the House Norvale temple to The River Gods. Once healed enough for travel a month later he made the journey to Oldtown only to learn that his seat had been given to someone else. It was then that the Heir of House Norvale, Knox Norvale who traveled with him to Oldtown on other business, suggested he return to the Keep and become the Houses Scholar. Cressidus has never returned to Oldtown since. Cressidus keeps the same sword from that day to this on his hip at all times, whether at his desk in the study, walking home for the evening to his wife and children, and even in the privy.
