Biography
Little is known of his background, though some say he came from outside of Westeros. It is said that he was as mad as the Mad King.

During Aegon's Conquest, Ero - alongside an army of men - stormed Copper Cullis and murdered everyone inside, taking the house for himself.

Ero's name before he named House Etredes is unknown but it is said that Etredes was not his real name; Etredes is simply a new name which he adopted a year or so before storming House Etredes.

It was only after taking the House that Ero began to be, as some say, 'insane'. Before this, he was only bloodthirsty and power-hungry. Before going insane, some of the household at the time said they saw a young boy with brown hair talking to him. Some claim to have witnessed Lord Ero having a fit whilst he was talking to the boy. Apparently, the boy simply vanished from existence and faded into thin air whilst Ero continued to have a fit and then collapsed onto the floor. The following day, he woke up and was insane. Ero ordered the deaths of many of his household members and staff. It's reported that he spent days at a time simply cackling in his Lord's Hall.

Ero had twins with his wife, Yva Etredes. They had a boy named Erac and a girl named Eyva. This began the Etredes tradition of naming their child so that their names begin with an 'E'.

Ero was assassinated though nobody knows who by. Some claim to have seen the same young boy with short brown hair walking up to him before stabbing him in the back. Again, it's reported that, after killing Lord Ero, the boy (who wore 'nobleman's clothes from the furture') vanished into midair.

Sometimes, even 300 years later, late at night, people claim to hear the laughter of the Mad Lord coursing through the halls of House Etredes.

It is said that some Lords who share the blood of Ero Etredes have also gone mad. His children, for example, often started battles and wars over simple things. In recent times, perhaps the violence of Erik Etredes and the dishonour of Edwin Etredes can also be put down to this.
