Who is Ser Joffrey Lonmouth in House of the Dragon?

There's not an awful lot known about Ser Joffrey Lonmouth, but he's almost always tied to Ser Laenor Velaryon (Theo Nate).

Ser Joffrey was a knight from House Lonmouth (a noble house sworn to House Baratheon at a later date).

Laenor very much enjoyed the company of his knight, Joffrey, and it was rumoured that the pair were lovers (something that's confirmed in House of the Dragon's fifth episode).

He was known colloquially as The Knight of Kisses, perhaps owing to the coat of arms for the house which was said to have skulls and lips on it.
