History

Myles Toyne is descendent from Ser Terrence Toyne, the Kingsguard knight who was caught abed with one of King Aegon IV mistresses. Toyne was known as "Blackheart" because of the sigil on his shield. Myles enjoyed the nickname and what it implied, as a captain should be feared by friends and foes alike, if people thought him cruel so much the better. Toyne however was not cruel, a soldier to the bone he was firm but fair. After his death his skull was dipped in gold and placed upon a company standard.[2]
