Benifer

Benifer was Grand Maester during the reigns of Maegor Targaryen and Jaehaerys I Targaryen.
==Biography==
Benifer became Grand Maester after the execution of Grand Maester Desmond. He was the only one out of the four of Maegor's Grand Maesters who wasn't beheaded. During Jaehaerys Targaryen's uprising in 42 AC, Benifer fled King's Landing, leaving the king unable to send ravens to those still loyal to him. After Maegor's subsequent death, Benifer returned and served King Jaehaerys as Grand Maester.
==In the books==
In Fire & Blood, Benifer suggested a marriage between King Maegor and Lady Clarisse Dayne of Starfall. When he abandoned Maegor during Prince Jaehaerys's rebellion, he secretly went into a short self-exile in Pentos. Upon Maegor's death, Benifer was invited back to the capital by the new king. He returned and was reinstated as Grand Maester.
In 56 AC, Princess Aerea, daughter of Aegon the Uncrowned and Queen Rhaena, fell severely ill. Benifer and Septon Barth attempted to heal the girl, but their efforts failed and she soon died. Benifer and Barth were traumatized by the princess's death.
Benifer died of the Shivers during an epidemic in King's Landing in 59 AC. He was succeeded as Grand Maester by Elysar.
