Recent Events

A Storm of Swords

Lord Alester Florent and the rest of House Florent are attainted by the Iron Throne for pledging allegiance to Stannis Baratheon during the War of the Five Kings, and their castle, Brightwater Keep, is granted to Ser Garlan Tyrell.[3]

A Feast for Crows

Alekyne becomes the new Lord of Brightwater after the death of his father, Alester.[4] Because Garlan is preparing an army to claim Brightwater,[5] Alekyne flees to Oldtown to seek refuge at the Hightower, where his sister Rhea is married to Lord Leyton Hightower, Garlan's maternal grandfather.[4]

Behind the Scenes

Alekyne's name may be inspired by the World Chess Champion Alexander Alekhine as George R. R. Martin loves the game of chess and is a proficient player himself.[6]
