Russ was proclaimed Lord of Mistdoor and Lord of the Blur Mountains at the age of 16,the succession was a hard one;Russ was a secondborn himself he was trained for being a soldier not rulership and the bannermen sense that as well.The circle was simple and predictable,with every Rebellion came an end Houses Lightfoot,Overton and Holt swore to obey the rulership of the young lord.
Despite winning Russ would apologize to every one of the bannermen for the loses on the Frozen Shore giving to each one of them money to ease their pain,House Blurson also recovered the bodies as a sign of respect and conciliation.

In truth Albar would remain an informant to the House,giving his brother Russ information about the Dornish situation and King's Daeron actions.When the king decided to raise the taxes to buit his "Great Sept",Russ was one of the lords that spit at the decision giving him the nickname "Green Dragon".
As all people knew a conflict was about to start,the rise of the pretender Aegon Targaryen "The Black Prince" meant nothing to Mistdoor but the caos that the North would take could prove an advantage to the ambitious Lord Blurson.Albar was named Master of Coin at the capital,making House Blurson's loyalty uncertain in both the North and the South.
But being in the North didn't mean more safety and the Blurson forces along with the newly built Haze fleet to take part on The Defeat of Blazewater,giving the Ironborn their first defeat on the North.
Russ would earn his nickname "The Stormbound" on the defence of Sea Dragon Point along with Lord Tallhart,using the fear of the Ironborn to seal's oil spreading it among their soldiers and when a storm broke out the islanders fear that the Blursons were bound to the Storm God and fled in disguise to Bear Island.

A token garrison was sent to Bear Island as a distraction to the other lords of the North(Seemed that they were defending) while House Blurson continued his conquest over the North.The Blursons along the Tallhart invade the Southern Wolfswood claiming the holdings of Houses Bole,Branch and Woods as their own.
By the moment the invasion of Ironrath was planned,Lord Tallhart asked for Russ help defending Tohrren's Square and with the help of the most advanced Northern force lead by Lord Dustin they hold the Territory.When the Starks came North they were busied pudding the Greyjoy out that they dismissed the Blurson Conquest as a meanigless movement but when Houses Bolton,Dustin and Karstarks joined their cause the Wolf became worried.
The aftermath after the claiming of the Rills was the Battle of the Woods one of the bloodiest events during the Blackwater Rebellion, thought the Blursons lost the hearts of the people were divided.And that became patent when the Smallfolk and Lords of Sea Dragon Point and Stony Shore raised to defend the shatter Lord Blurson.The death of his first son and heir Robb has turned Russ into a broken man but despise of the Starks attempts of capturing Lord Blurson,they would only get one thing blood.
Fearing more conflict between bannermen House Stark pardoned Lord Russ but stripped him of all the lands he earned by conquest and forced him to led the Wardenship of his second son to Lord Brandon,the lord paramount of the North.Still truth is said that Lord Blurson's schemes has never end and the Haze loyalists are preparing a new Rebellion...
