Ser Flea and Trystane later make plans for Trystane to marry Jaehaera, whom they find hiding in the sewers. Her protector ser Rickard Toyne is killed by Trystane and Jaehaera is hid beneath Flea Bottom. When later that day dowager queen Helaena Targaryen dies a fight breaks out between the Gold cloaks and the Shepherd. Ser Perkin is wounded and Trystane retreats with him into hiding where princess Jaehaera is.

### In hiding

Trystane spends his time in hiding making allies in the city watch. He is secretly present at coronation of Rhaenyra I. and later on her son Joffrey I. He also orchestrates the fall of lord Ondrew Crabb and leads the rabble that ends up killing ser Steffon Darklyn, efficiently weakening Targaryen hold on the city. Ser Perkin is healed by the time of Crabb's death and helps Trystane fund the cutthroats that end up killing Bartimos Celtigar.

When Gaemon Palehair is proclaimed king, Trystane enlists into the city watch again and fights in a skirmish between Palehair's supporters and Golden cloaks. The new commander, Gwayne Hightower suffers death from Trystanes hands. After the fight Trystane also gains Aenys' crown.

### Rise to power

Ser Perkin's plan is set into motion and ser Flea reveals himself, taking control over the Gold cloaks again. Ser Trystane becomes his right hand and together they demand that Larys Strong lets them have the Red Keep. After a short while their siege of Maegor's holdfast is won, by breaching through one of the windows. Trystane kills two knights and lord Larys Strong himself.

When Perkin seizes the throne room he reveals Trystane's identity. Trystane also claims the sword Blackfyre and is crowned by ser Perkin, seating himself on the iron throne. Dowager queen Alicent is offered his hand in marriage, but she refuses and so Trystane sends her to die into some deep oblittue.

### King on the iron throne

One of his first decisions as the king is to reinstate the law of first night. Trystane finds himself surrounded by men of Gold cloaks as his high advisors, many of them influence his decision and gain power through him. He repeals the unpopular taxes of lord Celtigar and divides the coin of the royal treasury amongst his own followers. He also raised threescore of Perkin's gutter knights to nobility. In response to rival king's Gaemon Palehair's decree of free bread and beer for the starving, king Trystane grants the poor the right to take rabbits, hares and deer from the kingswood - though not elk or boar.

Later on Trystane fights alongside ser Perkin in taking of Lion Gate and Mud Gate from the hands of Shepherd. To counter his rivals Trystane also creates his own small council. Ser Perkin is made lord of Dragonstone and hand of the king. Pate the Patted his master of laws, ser Kyle Raddish is made master of coin, Urragon the small master of whisperers and Urragon the big master of ships. A man claiming to be maester named Ormund is made grandmaester as the letter Trystane sent to Oldtown demanding they send over a maester had no reply. Trystane then raises a new High septon and grants the city watch to Luthor Largent's nephew ser Raymont.

Ser Tyland Lannister is found with princess Jaehaera Targaryen. She is forced to marry Trystane and the king even gives her back her old chambers. Ser Tyland later supports king Trystane, being named lord commander of his kingsguard. The other knights being: ser Timotty of Longfuck, ser Adnan Mudd, ser Orton the Giant, ser Martyn the Westerman, ser Rorge Pyle and ser Tychorio Yellowbeard of Tyrosh. Ser Perkin is also named his heir until a son is born of Truefyre blood.

### Fall

When the Greens are defeated and Black army come to King's Landing, Shepherd and his followers are defeated and Gaemon Palehair surrenders. Trystane demands that Daemon must keep their pact, which almost works until drunk ser Perkin calls Daemon a monster, bastard and poxy - scarred goat fucker. Thisbreaks any negotiations and Trystane reatreats defeated. All his holding in the city except for the keep itself are lost and ser Perkin is forced to resign from his position, instead Jaeaheara is named Trystane's heir and Tyland Lannister his hand.

Tyland tries to fight his way out, but is eventually slain by ser Adrian Redfort, Trystane's chances for escape are low and according to maester Ormund Trystane was depressed and found himself in arms of a woman named Joyce. Jaehaera also gets depressed and commits suicide. After two weeks of siege many start to plot. Rorge Pyle, Timotty of Longfuck and Martyn the Westerman are slain while protecting the king against the other kingsguard, during this fight Tychorio Yellowbeard also dies. Kyle Raddish and Urragon the small eventually murder every member of the small council, both are killed in ser Perkin who returns to save Trystane, but it is too late, Trystane was killed by ser Adnan Mudd and Perkin's head is added to Mudd's collection, he cuts off Trystane's and Jaehaera's heads too, giving them to Daemon to show that the keep has surrendered.

## Legacy

Trystane's rule was ill-ridden and short lived. He had little chances to actually seize the iron throne, yet his bold moves are one of the most interesting ones in westerosi history. Later on in 135AC another riot in King's Landing led by man who proclaimed himself Trystane seized Dragonpit, but they were quickly dealt with. It was later found out that the man who tried to disguise as Trystane was actually ser Orton the Giant, one of his own kingsguard.

His short affair with Joyce also may have led to a bastard boy being born. Joyce gave birth to the boy in late 132AC and proclaimed him the son of Trystane Truefyre. The boy had her eyes, but silver hair. It is possible that he was the son of Trystane, but no one knows for sure. For generations later house Truefyre remains active house, all of the members claim descend from Aegon Waters, his alleged son. They are mostly hedge knights, maesters and in one instance a man named Trystane Truefyre resided at dragonstone as one of the household guards.
