High Septon (Maegor)

A High Septon, born Pater, served as head of the Faith of the Seven during the reign of Maegor I.
==Biography==
After the death of the High Septon who initiated the Faith Militant uprising, King Maegor sponsored Septon Pater as the new High Septon.
==In the books==
In Fire & Blood, Pater was a famously amiable septon. By 43 AC, his ninetieth year, he was blind, stooped, feeble, and forgetful. After the death of the previous High Septon, suspected to have been assassinated at the command of Lord Martyn Hightower, the Most Devout were rounded up by Hightower men-at-arms and forced to choose Pater as the new High Septon. It is said that he nearly collapsed when the crystal crown was placed upon his head.
When Maegor arrived at Oldtown, the High Septon anointed him with holy oils, though he had forgotten the words of the blessing. He then formally dissolved the Faith Militant (the Warrior's Sons and the Poor Fellows) and commanded them to cease all hostilities against the Crown. He died in 44 AC and was succeeded by another puppet High Septon commonly known as the "High Lickspittle."
