The Kindly Man is a priest of the Many-Faced God in the House of Black and White in Braavos and a Faceless Man. He does not give his name. He is the only one in the House of Black and White who speaks the Common Tongue of Westeros and appears to be in charge of the temple. He wears a robe with cowl of black on the right side and white on the left side.

Appearance

When he first shows his face to Arya it is a yellow skull with scraps of skin hanging from it and a white worm coming out of an eye hole. After Arya kisses him and bites the worm, his face changes to that of the kindliest old man she ever saw.[1]

Recent Events

A Feast for Crows

He takes charge of Arya's training as an acolyte of the Many-Faced God. He first assigns her to learn the tongue of Braavos from the Waif and to teach the Waif the Common Tongue of Westeros. He confirms to Arya that the Waif is 36 years old. When she can speak some Braavosi, he sends her out into the streets of Braavos as Cat of the Canals. He arranges for her to stay with Brusco, a fish merchant, and to sell cockles, clams and mussels which she transports in a wheelbarrow.[2]
