Aurane Waters, called the Bastard of Driftmark, is a bastard member of House Velaryon.[4] He is the half brother of Monford Velaryon, Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark.[5]

Appearance

See also: Images of Aurane Waters

Aurane is handsome and thin, with silver-gold hair and grey-green eyes. He has a cleft in his chin and has a beard.[6] His appearance reminds Cersei Lannister of Rhaegar Targaryen, although Aurane's face is narrower.[7]

Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

Aurane is a scion of House Velaryon and fights for Stannis Baratheon as a sellsail during the War of the Five Kings. After the Battle of the Blackwater, Aurane is captured and bends the knee to King Joffrey I Baratheon.[8]

A Feast for Crows

Aurane is pardoned for fighting for Stannis and wins the favor of Queen Cersei Lannister, who believes that Aurane desires her. Cersei grants him the position of grand admiral, formerly the master of ships, on King Tommen I Baratheon's small council, and he receives funds to build a small fleet of dromonds.[6] Grand Maester Pycelle disagrees with Aurane's plan to captain the dromonds with younger men, rather than veterans of the Blackwater.[9]

Aurane tells Cersei that Ser Loras Tyrell was wounded during the siege of Dragonstone.[10] Cersei thinks Aurane covets Dragonstone, but she feels Rosby would be more fitting for him.[11] Because of increasing unrest in the capital after the arrest of Queen Margaery Tyrell, Aurane tells Queen Cersei that he will launch her new dromonds on the Blackwater Rush to keep the peace and potentially prevent Lord Mace Tyrell from rescuing his daughter, Margaery. During her imprisonment by the Faith of the Seven, Cersei is visited by Qyburn, who tells the queen that Lord Waters fled King's Landing with the new ships after her arrest.[1]

The Winds of Winter

According to Valena Toland, a new pirate king has set up on Torturer's Deep, styling himself the Lord of the Waters,[12] with three-decked warships.[13] This description matches that of the new ships for King Tommen's fleet at the time they were made.

Quotes

Jaime: There is talk that you mean to make Aurane Waters the master of ships.

Cersei: ... Waters is well suited to the office. He has spent half his life on ships ... Aurane is strong and vigorous.

Jaime: Aurane Waters could command a skiff, but only if you bought him one.[14]
