Deeds and Accomplishments of the Sworn Brothers of the Kingsguard

Duncan Lake, the "Wheeled Knight''

Duncan Lake was a northman of minor nobility from the shores of Long Lake who served as a member of King Vaemonds Kingsguard. Shortly after his appointment however, he was struck with a debilitating cancer which left him without the use of his legs and he was confined to a wheeled chair built by the Maesters, though King Vaemond allowed him to retain his white cloak. Despite being known to this day as the ''Wheeled Knight'' Duncan Lake was the first member of the Kingsguard to not be a knight, having never been anointed with the holy oils or taking a knight's vows. Despite this, he was known throughout the castle for his kind and charitable nature and had been a brave warrior in his youth. Despite his limitations, Duncan Lake did his duty to the best of his ability, often watching over the children of the castle to keep them from mischief.
