Ser Rhogar Velaryon was a knight from House Velaryon. He was a nephew of Lord Corlys Velaryon by his youngest brother. He had four brothers, including Ser Malentine, and several cousins.[1]

History

During the reign of King Viserys I, Malentine's cousin Ser Vaemond Velaryon had put himself forward as the true heir to Driftmark, on the grounds that Lord Corlys' chosen successor, his grandson Lucerys, was a bastard. Their cousin lost his head at the behest of Lucerys' mother, Princess Rhaenyra, who had Prince Daemon seize him, behead him and feed his carcass to her dragon. Yet when Ser Rhogar and his siblings took their case before the sick and failing Viserys, they made the grievous mistake of questioning the legitimacy of his daughter Rhaenyra’s children. Viserys had their tongues removed for this insolence, though he let them keep their heads.[2][3] Rhogar and his four brothers were thereafter known as the "silent five".[1]

The succession of the baseborn Alyn of Hull as Lord of the Tides, was not uncontested. Three of the "silent five" died during the Dance of the Dragons, but Rhogar and his brother, Ser Malentine, survived the war and yet again took their own claim to the small council in King’s Landing. When the Hand and the regents ruled against them, Ser Vaemond's sons, Daemion and Daeron Velaryon choose to accept this decision. However, Rhogar and Malentine didn't. As Mushroom put it in his testimony, "lacking tongues with which to make their appeal, they preferred to argue with swords". The plot of the silent brothers to assassinate Alyn failed when the guards at Castle Driftmark proved loyal to the Sea Snake's memory and his chosen heir. Ser Rhogar was captured during the attempt, his brother slain. Condemned to death, Rhogar saved his head by taking the black.[1]
