The High Priest is a prominent red priest in the religion of R'hllor, the Lord of Light. Benerro is the High Priest of the Temple of the Lord of Light in Volantis, and he also has the titles Flame of Truth, Light of Wisdom, First Servant of the Lord of Light, and Slave of R'hllor.[1] It is currently unknown if there is a single High Priest who leads all followers of the Lord of Light in the known world, or if each red temple has their own High Priest.

Tyrion: Who is Benerro?

Haldon: High Priest of the red temple in Volantis. Flame of Truth, Light of Wisdom, First Servant of the Lord of Light, Slave of R'hllor.
