Craghas Drahar

Prince Craghas Drahar was a Myrish prince-admiral of the Triarchy. He was known as the Crabfeeder for his habit of feeding his surviving enemies to crabs by staking them to the shores during the low tide.
His occupation and blockade of the Stepstones caught the attention of Lord Corlys Velaryon and Prince Daemon Targaryen, who launched the War for the Stepstones to defeat him. He was killed by Daemon during the siege of Bloodstone.
==Biography==
===Background===
Craghas is from the Free City of Myr. He suffers from greyscale which has spread to his face and brain,Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon: Inside the Creation of a Targaryen Dynasty causing him to wear a mask. The broken mask, which he found in a shipwreck, is of Ghiscari origin - the same kind that would be used by the Sons of the Harpy almost two centuries later.
===House of the Dragon: Season 1===
At a meeting of the Small Council, Corlys Velaryon reports that three of the Free Cities have formed an alliance named the "Triarchy", and that Craghas Drahar has styled himself as its prince-admiral.
As tensions rise, Drahar's forces begin attacking Westerosi ships passing through the Stepstones, including those of the Velaryon fleet. He executes captured crewmen by staking them on beaches to be devoured by carnivorous crabs or be drowned by the tide. In response, Corlys prepares to go to war, convincing Daemon Targaryen to join him.
For the next two years, Drahar would steadily gain the upper hand in the war. His men even discovered a way to drive back Daemon's dragon Caraxes: by hiding in the caves alongside the Stepstones' coast to avoid the dragonfire and loosing volleys of arrows to force Daemon to retreat. News of his rising victory reached King's Landing, leading many to question if the king should aid his former Master of Ships and brother's losing war despite their insubordination.
During the siege of Bloodstone, Daemon rows alone to the beach, before waving a white flag and offering Dark Sister in an act of surrender. When Drahar walks out of the caves to see if his foe has truly accepted defeat, he is shocked when the Targaryen feigns submission and begins to cut a path through the Triarchy soldiers; Daemon had caused his forces to exit their caves for a counter-attack, allowing Laenor Velaryon to ambush the Triarchy archers with his dragon Seasmoke and letting the Velaryon forces reach the shores unharmed to attack the remaining soldiers.
Seeing his defeat on the horizon, Drahar retreats into a cave but is pursued by Daemon and killed. The Triarchy leader's bisected corpse is later dragged out by Daemon for everyone to see, signifying Daemon's victory over the Crabfeeder.
After the war, Daemon uses Drahar's warhammer to stake Triarchy corsairs on the beaches. He later brings it before Viserys, tossing it and telling him to add it to the Iron Throne. Corlys also makes a souvenir of one of Drahar's possessions: his mask, which he displays in the Hall of Nine in High Tide.
==In the books==
In Fire & Blood, Craghas Drahar led the Triarchy's military forces in its conquest of the Stepstones. During this campaign he gained the sobriquet "Crabfeeder" for executing hundreds of pirates by staking them to be drowned by the tide. There is no mention he suffered from greyscale, or wore a mask.
Due to extremely high tolls enacted by the Triarchy in the region, Corlys Velaryon started a war for the Stepstones, partnering with Daemon Targaryen. After winning many battles for two years, Daemon personally beheaded Craghas with Dark Sister in 108 AC.
