Alton Butterwell

**Alton Butterwell** was the Lord of Lord Harroway's Town and the head of House Butterwell during the reign of King Maegor I Targaryen. He became Maegor's master of coin.

## History

After King Maegor exterminated House Harroway in 44 AC, he divided up the Harroway holdings among his remaining supporters. He granted Harrenhal to House Towers, but gave rule over Lord Harroway's Town to Lord Alton and the rest of the Harroway holdings to Lord Darnold Darry.

King Maegor's wars were ruinously expensive, exhausting the royal treasury. As master of coin, Alton continuously raised taxes and imposed new ones, but these measures failed to bring in sufficient revenue. Maegor than demanded a tribute of gold from the high lords. These measures only made Maegor more loathed than he already was.

The execution of Queen Alys Harroway, and soon Queen Tyanna of the Tower as well, left Maegor in need of new brides, as he had so far failed to produce an heir. Lord Alton suggested his stout, widowed sister as a match, who, while no great beauty, had given birth to seven children, her fertility being beyond doubt. King Maegor was scornful of Alton's offer, but with Alton's remark on fertility in mind, the three *Black Brides* wed by the king in 47 AC were proven to be fertile.
Benifer

**Benifer** was a maester of the Citadel who served as Grand Maester during the reigns of kings Maegor I Targaryen and Jaehaerys I Targaryen.

## History

Benifer became Grand Maester after the execution of Grand Maester Desmond.

When Maegor decided to take another wife, Benifer suggested a match with Lady Clarisse Dayne of Starfall in the hopes of detaching her lands and house from Dorne.

In 48 AC when the realm had enough of Maegor's tyranny and were flocking to join their support to the claim put forth by Prince Jaehaerys, Maegor ordered Grand Maester Benifer to send forth his ravens summoning all Maegor's leal lords and bannermen to gather at King's Landing. Benifer instead abandoned Maegor and secretly fled on a ship to Pentos. Benifer was the only Grand Maester to have survived Maegor's reign as Maegor had beheaded the previous three.

Upon Maegor's death, the new young king Jaehaerys I Targaryen sent an invitation to Benifer asking him to return to King's Landing. Although Benifer was fearful he might be executed for treason, he returned and was reinstated to his office by Jaehaerys.

When Balerion returned to King's Landing in 56 AC with the afflicted Princess Aerea barely clinging to him. The princess was carried to Benifer by Ser Lucamore Strong of the Kingsguard. Septon Barth aided Benifer in attempting to heal the girl, but their efforts failed and the princess perished, both men were traumatized by the girl's death.

Although he declared his innocence, Theo was found guilty and beheaded that same day.

Seven days after Theo's execution, King Maegor I announced that he would wed Theo's widow, Lady Elinor. After the wedding, Maegor dispatched one of Theo's sons to be fostered at the Eyrie by House Arryn and the other at Highgarden by Lord Tyrell, while the youngest was given to a wetnurse.

Princess **Gael Targaryen** was the thirteenth and last child of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen. Born during winter, Gael was also called the **Winter Child.**

## Appearance and Character

As a babe, Gael was small and pale. She grew to be a shy and sweet girl, although simple-minded and frail.

## History

Gael was born in 80 AC, a winter year, giving her the sobriquet the "Winter Child". (According to some, the name was because Queen Alysanne was "in the winter of her childbearing years", 44 years old at the time of Gael's birth.) Gael was cared for by Grand Maester Elysar and Septa Lyra, who nursed her through her first year.

After her sisters Alyssa, Daella, and Viserra had died within the span of five years (82–87 AC), Gael became a comfort for her mother Queen Alysanne, along with her older sister Maegelle. Gael became Alysanne's constant shadow, and even slept with her in her bed.

In 99 AC, Gael disappeared from court. It was announced that she had died of a summer fever. After the deaths of King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne, it was revealed that Gael had been seduced and impregnated by a traveling singer. Gael had given birth to a stillborn son, and overwhelmed by her grief, she had walked into Blackwater Bay and drowned.

According to some, Queen Alysanne never recovered from losing Gael. Following Gael's death, Alysanne could no longer stand to be in King's Landing and at the Red Keep. Alysanne herself would die less than a year after Gael, in 100 AC.

Baelon Targaryen (son)

**Aemma Arryn** was the queen consort and first wife of King Viserys I Targaryen, and a granddaughter of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and his sister-wife, Queen Alysanne Targaryen.

## History

Aemma was the fifth child of Lord Rodrik Arryn, and the only one by his second wife, Princess Daella Targaryen, herself the daughter of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and his sister-wife Alysanne Targaryen. Aemma's mother died in childbed. Aemma had four elder half-siblings from her father's first marriage, including her half-sisters Elys and Amanda.

Aemma married Prince Viserys Targaryen, her cousin, in 93 AC. Upon her grandfather's death, Aemma became the queen consort of Viserys, who had been chosen as heir to the throne during the Great Council in 101 AC.

Aemma became pregnant multiple times in the early years of her marriage. She suffered multiple miscarriages, and gave birth to a son who eventually died in the cradle. In 97 AC, Aemma gave birth to a healthy daughter, Princess Rhaenyra. Aemma and Viserys both adored their only living child.

In early 105 AC, Aemma became pregnant once more. Late in the year, she gave birth to a son, Prince Baelon Targaryen. Aemma died during the birth, and her son died a day later.

## Legacy

Aemma's daughter Rhaenyra was chosen as heir to King Viserys I Targaryen in late 105 AC, after the deaths of both Aemma and her son Baelon, and after a fall-out between King Viserys and his brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen. Despite the fact that the lords of the realm swore their fealty to Princess Rhaenyra in 105 AC, Aemma's daughter, upon Viserys's death in 129 AC, found herself in a struggle for the throne. Viserys had remarried after Aemma's death, and fathered four children with his new wife, Alicent Hightower. The eldest of those four, Prince Aegon, had been crowned king by Lord Commander Criston Cole, and Queen Alicent, in an attempt to usurp Princess Rhaenyra, who, at that point, was still unaware of her father's death. This power struggle lead to a war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

## Character

The redoubtable Lucinda was famous for her piety to the Faith of the Seven.

## History

Lucinda's husband, Lord Prentys Tully of Riverrun, was one of the first great lords to abandon King Maegor I Targaryen. Although the Faith Militant had been outlawed by the Iron Throne, Ser Joffrey Doggett roamed the riverlands and the westerlands with the support of the pious Lucinda. After the death of Maegor the Cruel, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen refused the request of Lucinda and Joffrey to reinstate the Faith Militant.

When Prentys was called to serve as the master of laws and lord justiciar for Jaehaerys in 49 AC, Lucinda accompanied her husband to King's Landing. Lord Tully suggested that the king wed his wife's younger sister, Ella Broome, but Jaehaerys instead married his own sister, Alysanne Targaryen. Dowager Queen Alyssa Velaryon sent Lucinda to take charge of Alysanne's household at Dragonstone. Rogar Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, wanted Lucinda, one of the so-called Wise Women, to report to him about the royal couple's behavior.

When Jaehaerys reached his majority in 50 AC, he dismissed Prentys from the small council, so Lucinda and Prentys returned to Riverrun. After the resignation of Lord Daemon Velaryon as Hand of the King in 54 AC, Lucinda and Prentys supported his replacement by Myles Smallwood, Lord of Acorn Hall.

Lucinda and her husband died from the Shivers a day apart from each other at Riverrun in 59 AC.

Warrick Manderly

**Warrick Manderly** was a knight from House Manderly during the reign of King Aegon I Targaryen.

## History

Since the Three Sisters had declared Marla Sunderland their queen during Aegon's Conquest, King Aegon I Targaryen tasked Lord Torrhen Stark, his new Warden of the North, with ending the rebellion. Torrhen granted command of a northern army to Warrick, who sailed from White Harbor to the Bite on Braavosi galleys. The Sistermen's Rebellion ended when Sisterton spotted Warrick's fleet and Queen Visenya Targaryen on her dragon, Vhagar.

Allies

Allies are the party of up to five characters the player can choose to fight for them in IdleQuest. While initially it is limited to the five starting characters: Adventurer, Priest, Wizard, Knight and Skull knight, all MOBs in the game can be chosen to be an ally on subsequent runs after ascending, provided they have been unlocked with a time crystal. Unlocking MOBs also increases the damage dealt to them by +10% and overall damage to all MOBs by +1%, so it is recommended to try to unlock all MOBs, regardless of intention to use them.

Allies attack automatically every roughly three seconds, though this can be sped up with the right gear.

## Leveling

**Reminder:** These are estimates and exact damage values may change with the automatic gain of time crystals, which influence overall damage. Gear has damage increases has been disregarded for this table.

## Trivia

* The max level an ally can reach is 244, after which point the cost of upgrading becomes just infinity, there is no number. Theoretically it is possible to get to level 245 as it does show the damage value of the next level, but in practicality the infinity turns 244 into a not-so-soft cap, and even if the player has infinity gold they can't purchase the upgrade.
	+ Reaching that cap might also break the game and impossibilitate a player from upgrading other allies, even if they are still level 1. They'll be locked from purchase permanently. Even ascending won't fix it.

Prince **Valerion Targaryen** was the twelfth born child of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen.

## History

Valerion was born in 77 AC after a troubled labor that left his mother, Queen Alysanne Targaryen, bedridden for half a year. Valerion was small at birth, similar to his brother Gaemon. The sickly babe was attended by half a dozen nurses. However, he died the following year, a fortnight before his first nameday.

## Behind the Scenes

In the earlier published Targaryen family tree as found in *The World of Ice & Fire*, Prince Valerion was the ninthborn child of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen, while his sister Saera was the twelfthborn child. For *Fire & Blood*, Valerion and Saera were switched in their order of birth, making Saera the ninthborn and Valerion the twelfthborn. Besides this change, several other children of Jaehaerys and Alysanne were shifted in their order of birth, while the character of Prince Aeryn Targaryen was exchanged entirely for Princess Daenerys. Regarding these changes, Elio Garcia has stated the following:

> ... George had some new ideas for some of the names and the stories of the children who died young, and corrected some issues that came out of his original birth order (we actually got the names of all the kids quite late in the production of TWoIaF—literally a month before we had to finalize the book—so there was not much time to interrogate it). However, the stories of those who live to adulthood, as published in TWoIaF, do remain the same (just, of course, much more detailed).

Doctrine of Exceptionalism

The **Doctrine of Exceptionalism**, or **Exceptionalism** for short, is the precept that King Jaehaerys I Targaryen worked out with the Faith of the Seven in order for them to tolerate the continued practice of incestuous marriages by House Targaryen. It was developed by King Jaehaerys, with help from Septon Oswyck and Septon Barth. The supporters of this doctrine are called **Exceptionalists**.

## Doctrine

The Doctrine of Exceptionalism's basic tenet was simple: the Faith of the Seven had been born in Andalos of old, where the laws laid down by the Seven in the holy texts decreed that incest was an abomination. The Doctrine of Exceptionalism confirmed this, but with one caveat: the Targaryens were not like other men as they rode dragons and were the only ones in the world since the Doom of Valyria. In addition, they did not have their roots in Andalos, but in Valyria, where different laws and traditions held sway. The Targaryens wed brother to sister as the Valyrians had always done, and as the gods had made them this way, it was not for men to judge.

Apart from incest, one of the key beliefs of Exceptionalism was that the Targaryens were immune to common illnesses that could kill other men.

The Seven Speakers preached the doctrine throughout Westeros.

## Consequences

From the time the Doctrine was accepted till the fall of its dynasty, House Targaryen had nine incestuous marriages:

* Prince Aemon Targaryen wed his half-aunt Lady Jocelyn Baratheon.
* Prince Baelon Targaryen wed his sister Princess Alyssa Targaryen.
* Prince Daemon Targaryen wed his niece Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
* King Aegon II Targaryen wed his sister Queen Helaena Targaryen.
* King Baelor I Targaryen wed his sister Queen Daena Targaryen (marriage dissolved).
* King Aegon IV Targaryen wed his sister Queen Naerys Targaryen.
* Prince Aelor Targaryen wed his twin sister Princess Aelora Targaryen.
* King Jaehaerys II Targaryen wed his sister Queen Shaera Targaryen.
* King Aerys II Targaryen wed his sister Queen Rhaella Targaryen.

Incestuous betrothals also occurred:

* Prince Jacaerys Velaryon was betrothed to his first cousin and step-sister Princess Baela Targaryen.
* Prince Lucerys Velaryon was betrothed to his first cousin and step-sister Princess Rhaena Targaryen.
Eye focus

*"All things considered, eye for an eye sounds like a fair trade."*

## Trivia

* The Eye focus is a cut weapon suggested to be dropped the Squeye but was cut in development due to its look not matching the game's art direction. The exact wording being *"//felt like Squeyes could use an item drop, tried drawing my own but it didn't really match with the rest of the assets"*.

Prince **Viserys Targaryen** was the second son of King Aenys I Targaryen and Queen Alyssa Velaryon.

## Character

Viserys was a promising lad beloved of the commons.

## History

### Youth

Viserys was born in 29 AC the thirdborn child of Prince Aenys Targaryen and Lady Alyssa Velaryon. Viserys and his older brother, Prince Aegon, were with their grandfather, King Aegon I Targaryen, on Dragonstone when Aegon the Conqueror died in 37 AC, whilst telling his grandsons tales of his conquests.

### Reign of Aenys I

The eight-year-old Viserys travelled with his parents and older siblings to Oldtown, where his father, King Aenys I Targaryen, was anointed by the High Septon.

In 42 AC, Viserys was present on Dragonstone for the funeral of his father.

### Reign of Maegor I

After the death of Viserys's father, King Aenys I, it was not Viserys's older brother, Aegon, who ascended the Iron Throne, but Viserys's uncle, Maegor. Viserys was present for Maegor's marriage to Tyanna of the Tower.

To make sure his family did not try to overthrow him, King Maegor took Viserys, by then the eldest living son of his late brother, as his squire and hostage. After Dowager Queen Visenya Targaryen died in 44 AC, Viserys's mother, Dowager Queen Alyssa Velaryon, fled with Viserys's younger siblings, Jaehaerys and Alysanne.

Because of this, Maegor the Cruel had Viserys tortured for nine days until the prince died. His body was left in the courtyard for a fortnight, in the hopes that his mother would feel forced to return to claim the body of her son, but Alyssa did not return. At the time of his death, Viserys was fifteen years old.

After ascending the throne, Viserys's brother Jaehaerys I Targaryen offered clemency to the majority of the realm, but this did not extend to Maegor's headsmen, gaolers and confessors who had assisted in Viserys's torture and death. They were all executed, their heads and hands delivered to Viserys's mother, who was pleased with the tokens.

Viserys Targaryen (half-brother)

Jaehaerys I Targaryen (half-brother)

Alysanne Targaryen (half-sister)

Vaella Targaryen (half-sister)

Boremund Baratheon (brother)

**Jocelyn Baratheon** was a noblewoman from House Baratheon. She was the daughter of Lord Rogar Baratheon, the Lord of Storm's End, and Dowager Queen Alyssa Velaryon. She had an older brother, Boremund, and six elder half-siblings, Rhaena, Aegon, Viserys, Jaehaerys I, Alysanne, and Vaella Targaryen, born to Alyssa Velaryon from an earlier marriage.

## Appearance and Character

Jocelyn had large dark eyes and black hair. By the time she was sixteen, her thick straight hair fell to her waist. A solemn girl, she grew to become one of the greatest beauties of the realm.

She had been frail as a babe, but by the age of six had become a tall young girl. At the age of sixteen, Jocelyn was an inch short of six feet tall.

## History

### Early life

Jocelyn was born one month premature in 54 AC. Her mother, Alyssa Velaryon, fell severely ill due to the pregnancy, and was unable to give birth by herself. According to Maester Kyrie, he could not save Alyssa, but by cutting her open he might be able to save Jocelyn. Lord Rogar Baratheon then told the maester to save his child. Some days after her birth, Rogar named his daughter.

In 58 AC, Jocelyn came to King's Landing with her father Rogar and her older brother Boremund for the tourney held on the anniversary of King Jaehaerys I's tenth anniversary on the throne. Jocelyn was raised mostly by the wives of her father's brothers, but they both favored their own children, and died eventually of Winter Fever. In 61 AC, at the age of six, Jocelyn was once again brought to court by her father, together with two daughters of her father's brother Ronnal. Lord Rogar requested to King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen that Jocelyn be raised at court as their ward. The king and queen gladly accepted.

In 62 AC, during the feast held to celebrate the investiture of Prince Aemon Targaryen as Prince of Dragonstone, Jocelyn was seated beside Prince Aemon by Queen Alysanne. The two young people ignored all those around them all evening.

### Marriage

Jocelyn was betrothed to her nephew Prince Aemon Targaryen in 68 AC. They were married two years later, in a ceremony that was said to rival the Golden Wedding of her parents. Jocelyn gave birth to their first and only child, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, in 74 AC. She became a widow in 92 AC, when Prince Aemon was killed on Tarth while attempting to put a halt to the invasion of the island by Myrish pirates. Jocelyn wept bitter tears upon hearing of her husband's death. When King Jaehaerys I Targaryen passed over Jocelyn's daughter Rhaenys in favor of granting the title Prince of Dragonstone to his next oldest son, Prince Baelon, Jocelyn was angered. Jocelyn became a grandmother at the end of 92 AC, when her daughter gave birth to Laena Velaryon.

Jocelyn had died by the time of the start of the Dance of the Dragons. Her nephew, Lord Borros Baratheon, claimed he never knew his aunt.
Olyver Bracken

Night's Watch

**Olyver Bracken** was a knight from House Bracken, and a member of the Kingsguard during the reign of King Maegor I Targaryen.

## History

Ser Olyver and his sworn brother of the Kingsguard, Ser Raymund Mallery, abandoned King Maegor I Targaryen in 48 AC when Prince Jaehaerys made his claim for the Iron Throne. Since both men had broken their Kingsguard oaths by not protecting Maegor, and Jaehaerys did not wish for oathbreakers to serve him, after taking the throne he offered them the choice of execution or taking the black. They both chose to join the Night's Watch.

The Lord Commander of the Night's Watch gave Ser Olyver command of Rimegate and Ser Raymund command of Sable Hall, with orders to restore the crumbling forts of the Wall. However, in 50 AC, Olyver and Raymund led a rebellion of former Faith Militant in the Watch, trying to make themselves lords of their castles.

The defeated rebels at Rimegate were hanged, with the exception of Olyver, who was beheaded by Lord Stark with the Valyrian steel greatsword Ice.
Vickon Greyjoy

Lord Vickon Greyjoy, as depicted in Game of Thrones History and Lore.

**Vickon Greyjoy** was the Lord Reaper of Pyke and the head of House Greyjoy during Aegon's Conquest. After the demise of House Hoare, Vickon was elected as the first Lord of the Iron Islands.

## Character

A famous captain, Vickon was a stern, but cautious, ruler. He was loyal to House Targaryen and considered himself Aegon I Targaryen's man.

## History

After the demise of House Hoare in the burning of Harrenhal, the Iron Islands became engulfed in chaos as claimants battled over the Seastone Chair. In 2 AC, Aegon I Targaryen descended on the islands and put an end to the fighting. Afterward, the issue arose as to who should rule the Iron Islands and Aegon allowed the ironborn to choose their own lord paramount. They elected Vickon, the Lord Reaper of Pyke, a famous captain who boasted a distinguished lineage and descent from the Grey King. Vickon did homage to Aegon and became the first Lord of the Iron Islands.

Ruling from Pyke, Vickon's writ only extended to the Iron Islands; the riverlands which had also been part of the kingdom of House Hoare had already been given to House Tully of Riverrun. Vickon commanded that the practice of reaving be confined to distant waters, forbidding his men to reave the shores of the Seven Kingdoms. He also angered the priests of the Drowned God and many pious lords by allowing the Faith of the Seven to return to the Iron Islands. Vickon paid them no heed, maintaining his loyalty to Aegon the Conqueror. Vickon counselled his son, Goren, that only a fool would rise against Aegon and his dragons.

Vickon died in 33 AC and was succeeded by Goren.
Albin Massey

**Albin Massey** was the Lord of Stonedance and the head of House Massey in the reign of kings Maegor I and Jaehaerys I Targaryen.

He served Jaehaerys I as master of laws from 50 AC until his death in 59 AC.

## Appearance and Character

Albin Massey was born with a twisted spine and a bent back that condemned him to walk with a limp.

He was known for his sharp mind and did not lack for wits. During his tenure as master of laws, he proved to be a man of great skills and an able councilor, earning the trust and gratitude of Jaehaerys I Targaryen.

## History

Albin Massey was the third son of the Lord of Stonedance. Born with a limp, Albin had been sent to the Citadel to forge a chain and become a maester. However, in 47 AC a fever killed Albin's older brothers and lord father, making him the new Lord of Stonedance.

When the high lords of the realm began revolting against Maegor I Targaryen in 48 AC, a score of lesser lords gathered at King's Landing at Maegor's command, including Albin. However, their numbers were few and many soon lost heart. Shortly after, Maegor was found dead upon the Iron Throne and Prince Jaehaerys claimed his uncle's throne. In the chaos that followed Maegor's death, Albin fled back to Stonedance. During Jaehaerys' minority, Albin was the first lord to visit the young king at Dragonstone, with other noblemen following his lead.

In 50 AC, Lord Albin was given a seat on the small council and named lord justiciar and master of laws by Jaehaerys I when the king came of age. After Jaehaerys dismissed Septon Mattheus from court, Albin was rumored to have remarked that the king required three persons to replace the corpulent prelate. After Mattheus was feared to become the High Septon, Albin suggested silencing the septon with a sudden, mysterious death. Jaehaerys quickly dismissed this suggestion.

After Lord Daemon Velaryon resigned as Hand of the King, Jaehaerys considered Albin for the office, but found him to be unsuitable. Albin himself counseled the king that he served him better from the shadows, for his twisted appearance would strike the ignorant as somehow sinister. In 55 AC, Albin assisted King Jaehaerys in codifying, reorganizing, and reforming the kingdom's laws, creating a single book of law for the Seven Kingdoms. He initially justified the right of the first night by noting that the practice originated from the Age of Heroes when it was considered a blessing for an ancient warrior to sleep with a maid on her wedding night.

Lord Albin perished during the harsh winter of 59 AC from the Shivers. Jaehaerys did not find it easy to replace him as master of laws, but Albin was ultimately succeeded in the office by Lord Rodrik Arryn.

Mattheus

## Septon Mattheus

**Mattheus** was a septon of the Faith of the Seven and a member of the Most Devout during the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen.

## Appearance

Mattheus was described as a great whale of a man, famed as much for his corpulence as for the magnificence of his robes.

## History

### At court

Septon Mattheus claimed to be a descendant of House Gardener, the extinguished family who once ruled as Kings of the Reach. In 49 AC many felt he was almost guaranteed to be the next High Septon. He became a part of the court of King's Landing during the regency of the young King Jaehaerys I Targaryen. Mattheus accompanied Lord Rogar Baratheon and Alyssa Velaryon to Dragonstone when the small council learned that King Jaehaerys and his younger sister, Alysanne, had fled to the island fortress to wed. The incestuous marriage enraged the septon, who threw insults at the couple. Jaehaerys would not allow his bride to be insulted, however, and ordered Mattheus to be silent or he would have his lips sewn shut.

#### Dismissal and later life

In 50 AC, Septon Mattheus was dismissed from court by Jaehaerys and replaced with Septon Barth, who came from Highgarden. According to legend, Mattheus passed Barth coming in the other direction whilst crossing the Mander at Bitterbridge.

After the death of the High Lickspittle, Mattheus became a likely candidate to become his successor as High Septon. During the first of the four ballots required for the election, Mattheus was the lead candidate, but his supporters dwindled thereafter with each ballot. On the fourth ballot, Septon Alfyn was elected.
Prudence Celtigar

Lady **Prudence Celtigar** was a noblewoman from House Celtigar during the reigns of kings Maegor I and Jaehaerys I Targaryen. She later became the Lady of Gulltown.

## Appearance and Character

Lord Rogar Baratheon scornfully claimed that Prudence and her sister had "no chins, no teats, and no sense".

## History

Prudence was the daughter of Lord Edwell Celtigar of Claw Isle. She had at least one sister, Prunella, and a brother.

In 47 AC, her father urged King Maegor I Targaryen to marry either Prudence or Prunella, or both if he so desired. The king did not choose Prudence or her sister, instead marrying the Black Brides, Rhaena Targaryen, Jeyne Westerling and Elinor Costayne.

In 49 AC, her father made the same offer to Lord Rogar Baratheon and Queen Regent Alyssa Velaryon, that King Jaehaerys I Targaryen marry either Prudence or Prunella; Lord Baratheon rebuffed this offer.

Prudence became a lady companion to Queen Alysanne Targaryen during her time on Dragonstone. During King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne's second wedding, she disrobed the king during the bedding ceremony.

At Maidenpool, Prudence was stabbed through the shoulder defending the queen when she was attacked by septas attending Jonquil's Pool who wished to kill the "abomination" Alysanne was carrying.

In 52 AC, the betrothal of Prudence to Lord Grafton was arranged.
Harlen Tyrell

Harlen Tyrell as depicted in Game of Thrones: Histories & Lore.

Lord Paramount of the Mander

Defender of the Marches

High Marshal of the Reach

Warden of the South

**Harlen Tyrell**, also spelled Harlan, was a member of House Tyrell and High Steward of Highgarden. He was the first to rule the Reach as Lord of Highgarden after the War of Conquest.

## History

Harlen Tyrell served as the steward to Mern IX Gardener, King of the Reach, at the time of Aegon's Conquest. After King Mern IX died at the Field of Fire, King Aegon I Targaryen marched on Highgarden, where Harlen yielded up the castle without a fight, pledging his support to Aegon. For this, Aegon named him Lord of Highgarden and gave him dominion over the Reach as Lord Paramount of the Mander and Warden of the South, despite the fact that the Tyrells could only claim descent from Garth Greenhand through the female line, while other houses, with older and more distinguished lineages, had closer blood ties to the now-extinct House Gardener.

Harlen's elevation to Lord of Highgarden caused a number of his bannermen to voice their resentment, who bitterly compained about having to serve an "upjumped steward". However, their complaints were of no avail. Maester Yandel speculates that Harlen Tyrell had been chosen as the new Lord of Highgarden by Aegon I because they had not taken up arms against the Targaryens, whereas the Oakhearts, the Florents, the Rowans, the Peakes, and the Redwynes had marched beside King Mern IX.

Harlen served the Targaryens loyally and proved able in his lordship of the Reach. He marched south in 4 AC beside the Targaryens in the First Dornish War, and fought with King Aegon I against the Dornish mountain lords in the Prince's Pass. He next marched his army to Hellholt, but lost many to thirst and exposure to the sun on the way. After the Targaryens had claimed Sunspear, Harlen was placed in charge of putting down revolts. In 5 AC, when Dorne rebelled, Harlen marched with his garrison from Hellholt, aiming to conquer Vaith and retake Sunspear. However, he vanished with his entire army in the sands of Dorne, never to be found again. Harlen was succeeded by his son Theo.
Viserys I Targaryen

Viserys I, by Amok

Baelon Targaryen (son)

Aegon Targaryen (son)

Helaena Targaryen (daughter)

Aemond Targaryen (son)

Daeron Targaryen (son)

Trystane Truefyre (alleged son)

**Viserys I Targaryen** was the fifth Targaryen king to sit the Iron Throne, ruling from 103 AC to 129 AC. He succeeded his grandfather, the Old King Jaehaerys I. Viserys continued the prosperous peace and legacy of his grandsire, but the seeds for the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons that would later engulf the realm were inadvertently sown in his reign.
Alyn Stokeworth

**Alyn Stokeworth** was the Lord of Stokeworth and the head of House Stokeworth during the reign of kings Aegon I and Aenys I Targaryen. He served as Hand of the King for both of them.

## History

Lord Alyn was named Hand of the King by Aegon I Targaryen after the death of Ser Osmund Strong, the previous Hand in 34 AC. When Aegon ordered the Aegonfort torn down and a stone castle to be built in its place in 35 AC, he assigned the task to Lord Alyn and Queen Visenya Targaryen.

Lord Alyn brought his daughter Samantha to court, who became a close friend and companion of Princess Rhaena Targaryen.

Upon the coronation of Aegon's heir, King Aenys I Targaryen, rebellions rose throughout the Seven Kingdoms. The first of these challenges was by a bandit outlaw known as Harren the Red, who claimed to be a grandson of King Harren the Black. Alyn personally led the campaign against Red Harren and successfully caught and cornered the outlaw king. Harren killed Alyn but was subsequently slain by Alyn's squire, Bernarr Brune.
Edwell Celtigar

Master of coin

Lord treasurer

Son

**Edwell Celtigar** was the Lord of Claw Isle and the head of House Celtigar during the reigns of kings Maegor I and Jaehaerys I Targaryen.

## History

Edwell was named Hand of the King by Maegor I Targaryen in 44 AC, following the execution of the previous Hand, Lord Lucas Harroway. King Maegor left Edwell to rule King's Landing along with Maegor's wife, Queen Tyanna of the Tower, when Maegor himself left to embark on a new campaign against the Faith Militant uprising in 45 AC.

In 47 AC Edwell suggested to Maegor that the heirless king should take more than one new wife so as to increase his chances of producing an heir. Edwell suggested his two maiden daughters, Prunella and Prudence, who were of twelve and thirteen years. Although Maegor eventually took Edwell's advice, he did not choose Edwell's daughters. Lord Celtigar resigned the office of Hand in 48 AC, when even previously loyal lords of the realm were now turning against the king. He safely returned to Claw Isle.

Upon the ascension of the young Jaehaerys I Targaryen to the Iron Throne, Lord Celtigar was pardoned and named lord treasurer and master of coin by Lord Rogar Baratheon, the new Hand. The wars fought by Maegor had near bankrupted the crown. Lord Celtigar was unwilling to risk offending the high lords, so he instead enforced a number of new taxes upon the smallfolk, such as tripling the port fees of King's Landing, Lannisport, and Oldtown. Certain goods were taxed both coming in and going out of the city, and new levies were asked of innkeepers and builders. These measures made Edwell deeply despised by the populace and failed to generate sufficient revenue. Building slowed to a halt, the inns emptied, and trade declined significantly in the capital, while the Lannisters and Hightowers ignored Lord Celtigar's demand to raise their port fees.

Upon King Jaehaerys's sixteenth name day, he returned to King's Landing and kindly dismissed Lord Edwell from his office, thanking him for his services. Three days later the king undid most of the taxes Edwell had placed on the smallfolk, much to the populace's delight.

During the winter of 59 AC when the Shivers spread to the crownlands, Lord Edwell was one of the first high lords to die from the disease.

## Legacy

In 130 AC during the Dance of the Dragons, the unpopular taxes Lord Edwell once imposed were reinstated by a descendant of his, Lord Bartimos Celtigar, the master of coin for Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.
Nymor Martell

**Nymor Martell** was the ruling Prince of Dorne and head of House Martell during the reign of King Aegon I Targaryen.

## History

During the War of Conquest, Dorne had defied the Targaryens and their dragons, but in 4 AC, King Aegon began his campaign on Dorne, in an attempt to finalize his Conquest. This First Dornish War would last until 13 AC.

In 13 AC, Nymor's mother, Princess Meria Martell, the Yellow Toad of Dorne, died, and Nymor inherited the rule of Dorne. Already old and failing, Nymor wanted peace, so he send a delegation, led by his daughter and heir, Princess Deria Martell, to King's Landing, to negotiate a peace with King Aegon I - a peace between two Kingdoms, two equals, not a peace between a vassal and its overlord.

Deria indeed suggested the peace, and it is said that King Aegon was about to refuse, when she handed him a letter from Nymor. King Aegon read the letter on the Iron Throne, apparently clenching it so hard his hand started to bleed, burned it once finished, and flew to Dragonstone on Balerion without a word. When he returned the next morning, he agreed to the peace and signed a treaty.

It is unknown what content was in the letter that Nymor had written, but many have speculated: some claim it was a simple plea that touched Aegon’s heart; others insist it was a list of all those lords and noble knights who had lost their lives during the war; some believe it said that Queen Rhaenys survived her fall at Hellholt, but was being kept captive in extreme torment, and the Dornish promised to end her suffering Aegon agreed to end the war; others suspect the letter stated that Nymor was willing to spend all of Dorne's gold to hire the Faceless Men of Braavos to assassinate Aegon's young son and heir, Aenys, if Aegon did not sign the peace; certain septons even suggest that the missive was ensorceled.

The answer to those questions is unknown, but the peace that Nymor and Aegon agreed on in 13 AC would last throughout Aegon's entire reign.
Jeyne Poore

**Jeyne Poore**, known as **Poxy Jeyne Poore,** was a leader of the Poor Fellows during the Faith Militant uprising against King Maegor I Targaryen.

## Character

Jeyne is said to have been a savage captain of the Poor Fellows. Septons serving King Maegor I Targaryen considered her a witch.

## History

Following the Faith Militant's defeats in 42 AC in the battles at Stonebridge and the Great Fork of the Blackwater, new leaders arose across the Seven Kingdoms in 43 AC. While the Warrior's Sons were all knights, the lower order of Poor Fellows contained male and female members. Poxy Jeyne led the Poor Fellows in the forested lands between King's Landing and Storm's End, making travel impassable. The forested terrain made Jeyne's cell more difficult to fight than others, and the kingswood was in close proximity to King's Landing.

When King Maegor I Targaryen launched a new military campaign against the Faith Militant late in the year 45 AC, he targeted Jeyne's Poor Fellows. Scores of them were hunted down, and any taken alive were hanged if they refused to join the Night's Watch.

Although Jeyne eluded Maegor's forces for some time, she was eventually betrayed by three followers who received pardons and knighthoods for turning her over to the king. Three septons with Maegor declared Jeyne to be a witch, and the king ordered her to be burned in a field by the Wendwater. On the day of Jeyne's execution, three hundred Poor Fellows and peasants under the leadership of Ser Horys Hill attempted to rescue her. Jeyne's public execution was a trap to lure out her remaining followers, however, with Maegor's forces waiting and ready for them in an ambush. The rescuers were surrounded and slaughtered.

After a year of campaigning, Maegor and his army returned to King's Landing in 46 AC in triumph, along with two thousand skulls which he questionably claimed to all have been Faith Militant. Other leaders of the Faith Militant had meanwhile regrown their strength, however. Septon Moon openly preached against Maegor the Cruel to huge crowds in the riverlands and the Reach, and Ser Joffrey Doggett had become the ruler in all but name of the hill country north of the Golden Tooth in the westerlands. Dennis the Lame and Ragged Silas continued their efforts as well.

## Behind the Scenes

Jeyne might have been inspired by Joan of Arc, who after being betrayed in the Hundred Years' War was declared a witch and burned at the stake.
Merrell Bullock

**Merrell Bullock** was a knight in service to House Targaryen. He was the commander of the castle garrison at Dragonstone during the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen. He had two sons, Ser Alyn and Ser Howard.

## History

When King Jaehaerys was on Dragonstone during his regency, he spent every morning until midday in the castle yard training with sword, shield, and any other armament. Ser Merrell, along with his two sons, Ser Elyas Scales the master-at-arms, and knights of the Kingsguard sparred with the king.

When Rhaena Targaryen was given Dragonstone as her seat, Ser Merrell continued in his duties as the commander of the castle's garrison. In 54 AC, after the theft of three dragon eggs from Dreamfyre's clutch by Elissa Farman, Ser Merrell was suddenly relieved of his position, as Rhaena, furious by the betrayal by her former friend, became suspicious of everyone.
