History

He came by it only as a reward from King Robert I Baratheon, for his part in Greyjoy's Rebellion when he fought with distinction at Pyke, where he lost his hand. He has been captain of the Mud Gate in King's Landing for three years when Tyrion Lannister arrives to take up the position of Hand of the King in 299 AC.[1]
