History

Harwick was originally a member of Gerion Lannister's crew on the Laughing Lion. Like most of the other crew members, Harwick abandoned Gerion's quest when they approached the Smoking Sea, fearing for his own life and safety. Thereafter, he became a sellsword and spent much of the remainder of his life traveling amongst the various Free Cities of Essos looking for work. At the start of The Shadow of Valyria, Harwick was in Tyrosh, spending his time in the local brothels and taverns as he looked for work.

Family

Harwick was lowborn. He never knew his father or his mother and grew up as an orphan.
