History
Not much is known of Ser Creighton’s history, nor if Creighton is even his real name. His accent confirms that he is most likely not of Westerosi origin, however. Creighton’s appointment as King’s Justice is due to his help in thwarting a plot to kidnap the brother of King Edric. He was knighted by the king himself and offered the role of delivering justice to the assailants in the name of the King of the Seven Kingdoms. He has served the king and small council ever since.

Creighton’s real story, however, is known to only a handful of people:

Creighton was born under a different name in the lower city of Great Norvos during 336 AC to a whore and an unknown noble father. Being a large boy, he was eventually sold to the Bearded Priests to begin his training as a future soldier. Up until the age of sixteen, he trained in the use of longaxes under the guidance of master axemen. Increasingly repulsed at the idea of a future as a slave soldier, he stole a boat and fled the city with a group of fellow defectors.

The young Norvoshi travelled Essos for many years as part of a sellsword company. Their travels took them as far as Asshai, and Creighton even claims to have visited the Five Forts.

Upon his arrival in Westeros, he drifted around the criminal underworld performing various types of paid work. When Creighton was double-crossed by a particular criminal ringleader, he swore to enact revenge upon him and destroy his plans to kidnap the king’s brother for ransom. Creighton caught the attention of King Edric and helped deliver them to justice.

For his services, Creighton found himself knighted by the king personally and, due to his skill as an axeman, offered the position of King’s Justice. He has served the king and small council in delivering justice to the Seven Kingdoms ever since.

Outside of his work as King’s Justice, Creighton spends his time helping to keep the intrigue of Westeros at bay: both for the king and his own benefit.
