Books

Lord Rossart was a member of the Alchemists' Guild in King's Landing. He served as the Hand of the King to Aerys II Targaryen for a fortnight.[1]

History

Rossart was the Grand Master of the Alchemists' Guild during the reign of Aerys II, who granted him the title of Lord and a seat on the small council. He was also the pyromancer who had cooked Lord Rickard Stark in his armor,[2] and one of the key players in the wildfire plot. After Lord Qarlton Chelsted was burned alive, Aerys made Rossart Hand of the King. As his personal arms he chose a burning torch.[3][4] As the Sack of King's Landing began, Rossart dressed as a common man-at-arms and rushed to fulfill Aerys's orders to burn the city, but he was killed by Ser Jaime Lannister.[3]
