Ser Jon Roxton is a knight of House Roxton and wielder of the Valyrian steel sword Orphan-Maker.

History

Ser Jon Roxton was knight from House Roxton who fought on the side of Aegon II during the Dance of the Dragons. A civil war between Aegon II and his half-sister Rhaenyra Targaryen over the throne of Westeros.

At The Battle on the Honeywine Lord Owen Costayne was mortally wounded by Ser Jon Roxton's Valyrian steel black blade Orphan-Maker. Ser Jon Roxton was one of the members of the council, the Caltrops (as they became known), who wanted the dragon-riders Hard Hugh Hammer and Ulf the White dead. In no small part due to their outrageous demands for Lordships and Kingships in return for their dragons joining Aegon II's cause.

During The Second Battle of Tumbleton "Bold" Jon slew Hard Hugh Hammer when he least suspected it. Shortly there after he was killed by Hugh Hammer's men in a 10 on 1 fight. He manged to kill 3 of them before he himself was killed. Legend says that he slipped on a part of Hugh Hammer's entrails in an ironic twist of fate. [1]

Quotes by Ser John Roxton

Lord Hammer, my condolences. For what? Hugh Hammer demanded. You died in battle, Bold Jon replied. [2]
