Appearance: Euron is a tall, middle-aged, lean individual with a muscular build due to his fitness which he maintains. For Euron, there are many incentives to keeping fit, and being ironborn and a sailor with his own ship in the Iron Fleet, it was important to keep strong, especially for combat. His brother, Victarion, was made Commander of the Iron Fleet, despite the victories he achieved in their rebellion. He is quite pale for someone who lives near the ocean and sails the sea, and there is no doubt that was handsome and debonair. His hair was dark, as was his eyes and his beard. It was his eyes that made him different and recognised to many with a patch that he patches over his left eye which is nicknamed "Crow's Eye". According to Theon, the patch coneals a "black eye shining with malice", whereas his right eye is bright blue, also known as his "smiling eye". Another noticeable feature is his lips which are pale blue, due to his propensity to drink shade of the evening.
Garb: As far as his attire his concerned, he is an ironborn. The words of his House, "We do not sow", take what we desire, and that's exactly how Euron acts towards his garb. His garb mostly consists of leather and those materials associated with the ironborn, though on his travels, if he sees something stronger and better, he will take it, with force, if necessary. Euron is quite shrewd and as a dark aura about him, which reflects his choice of dark clothing. Anything on his person is what he has took, and with how many times he has entered a wealthy man's home to lose their daughters' virginity, he also takes anything else that appeals to his eyes (or eye in Euron's case).
Height: 5'8
Weight: 160Ibs
(Imagine patch over his left eye)
Personality:
If you look upon his person, he is a dark man and carries uncertainty around him, not knowing what move he will make, being unpredictable and known to play mind games to wind those up around him. He is a skilled warrior, and can manipulate people. His dark character also shows how ruthless, how shrewd, and how cunning he is. In which case, he seems to not be very likeable, and arrogant, but all his boasting and the way he represented himself is cruel, but he gets the job done. Since he was banished, he was left with his ship, and as a result, he became a pirate, continuing his life as an ironborn, and what pirates are known for, is their charisma with their crew, or the fear that they bring into their enemies. Course, many people see his rough and dark side, but he is a skilled fighter, he does what he says, he's charming when he wants to be, and sure all the women who he has been with, can sure say he is good in bed also.
Likes:
- Ironborn customs
- Open sea
- Installing fear
- Winding others up with mind games
- Being authority
- Making himself known (in particular, to those he makes love with)
Dislikes:
- Honorable sort
- Those who get in his way
- Those who speak against him
- Not getting what he wants
- Contradictions
- Being told what he can or cannot do

Weapon(s): The Greyjoys each had their specialty, each of them were strong in their own way. Balon fought with a longsword with a shortsword on reserve, Victarion with an axe, while Euron, who was respected as a skilled warrior fought with dual twin swords which he kept on his back like so. However, fairness is not in Euron's game as who knows what could be behind his back, where a concealed dagger or two can be found. Euron wished to be sure that both his hands were equipped in any scenario. He must always be armed.
Armor: Euron is not known to be a skilled warrior for leaving his defences open. Even when he's pillaging, or raping, he makes sure that he is equipped in some way or another, though more so when he's travelling by sea or where he knows he's going to be part of a fight, he'll have his chainmail armor underneath with a breastplate, gauntlets, with his main steel armor on top to protect against anyone who wishes to take away his precious life. The Kraken sigil of House Greyjoy is engraved on its design (though like his clothes, if he sees something better, he'll take for his own). The sigil is also engraved on his shield.
Skills: His most notable skill is that of his abilities as a warrior. He is not only a skilled warrior, but also a skilled manipulator, and can be a smooth-talker. He knows what he wants and he'd do what was necessary to get it. Though Victorian led the Iron Fleet, it was upto Euron to come up with a plan, and it was his plan that his brother followed which led them to victory, so there was no doubt that he was also good at planning, though many speculate if his return and Balon's death is also planned....
Weaknesses: Though he may be skilled with the sword and not bad with the mind, he is often misunderstood which ends up causing trouble (more for the person that misunderstood than him). Being ironborn, he aims to be as strong as iron, to not regret what he does. He is often a bit proud of himself, so can get arrogant when his ego sets off, and sometimes cannot control his tendancies, if he feels he must do something and is less, regardless of the consequences, or if they are right or wrong. If it is something he feels he must do, he will do. Not to mention his love of drink.

History:
Euron is Quellon Greyjoy's second-born. He was not prepared for leadership as Balon was, but he had begun training and then overtime he gained leadership skills to command his own vessel and drawing up plans. It was Euron's plan in the Greyjoy Rebellion where his brother made himself King of the Iron Islands, where he planned to sail into Lannisport and burn the Lannister fleet. His younger brother, Victarion, followed the plan Euron laid out, and it all was a success as the Westerlands naval force was destroyed. The rebellion was going well, until Lord Stannis Baratheon brought a fleet of ships from Dragonstone, Storms End and the Arbor and brought them to face the Iron Fleet. The Iron Fleet fought well, but eventually it fell after the loss of Seagard where Balon's son Rodrik had perished. Besieging Pyke, a Thoros of Myr, Jorah Mormont, Eddard Stark and Jaime Lannister led at the frontline. The rebellion came to a crashine end as soon as a tower collapsed and killed Balon's second son Maron. It was at that that Balon surrendered, as his final son was sent to be a ward of House Stark.
The rebellion suffered much loss with Balon's heirs lost except for Theon who was now under Stark custody, and with his brother Aeron lost at sea, it left he and his brother Victarion as heirs, though he still had his daughter Asha and had rebuilding to do after the war. After a few more years had passed, Euron took what he desired, taking Victarion's rock wife, seducing and raping her. The ironborn took what they wanted, which is exactly what Euron did, only to be banished by his brother for following the ironborn culture, which was ironic. Balon told him, that he was to live and warned never to return while he was alive. Victarion wanted to kill him, if not for the taboo against kinslaying. As a result, Euron took the Silence and begun to sail around Westeros, pillaging, raiding. Though his crew were mutes and none could question his orders, they still had their uses and took women, or other men, with no preferences. Afterall, they could hardly complain. As a result, Euron had quite a few sons that didn't belong to him and took no heed to them, even if they were his. He not only travelled round Westeros, but the Free Cities, Asshai, the Smoking Sea, and seen the ruins of Valyria where he owned a dragons egg (so he claims) until he tosses into the sea during one of his moods.
Euron heads home to Pyke. He had been warned not to return, but if there was one thing he hated, it was being told what he could or could not do. He may of been banished but it would of been foolish to go against his brother then, plus the thought of travelling around and having fun was too enticing. Now it was time to return home whether Balon liked it or not. A day before he returns to Pyke, Balon crosses a bridge during a storm, where he fell and died. Some believe that Euron was responsible, sending an assassin at his command, seeing as he had warned him not to return while he was alive. Now, Euron had returned to claim the Seastone Chair. Any who denied his claim would face the consequences. Euron was ironborn, he took what he wanted, when he wanted, how he wanted, and would rule with a iron fist. It's only natural....as he arrives at Pyke. With Balon's passing, the Iron Islands needed a leader and as a result, a Kingsmoot arranged by his younger brother Aeron in order to decide leadership between Balon's daughter Asha, himself, Victarion or Euron. Euron was elected.
