Casper Straw was a former knight from House Straw who served the Faith of the Seven during the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen.[1]
History
Casper was once a knight who served as a captain in the Warrior's Sons. After their abolition in the aftermath of the Faith Militant uprising, Straw served as steward to the High Septon.[1]
In 50 AC, Ser Orryn Baratheon and a dozen men-at-arms came to the motherhouse attached to the Starry Sept in Oldtown. On orders from his brother Lord Rogar Baratheon, Orryn demanded that Princess Rhaella Targaryen, a novice of the Faith, be given into his custody. The suspicious Septa Karolyn, under the guise of summoning the girl, instead sent for the High Septon. The stormlanders were soon opposed by the alert and wary Casper and thirty armed septons, who falsely claimed that forty Hightower knights were on their way, upon which Orryn and his men surrender and were taken into custody.[1]
