'''Qyburn''' is an ex-[[maester]] who was a member of the [[Brave Companions]] mercenary company.

==History==
Qyburn was stripped from his position as a maester for unethical experiments he performed on living humans.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Cersei</ref> He joined The Brave Companions as a means to survive.

==Recent Events==

===A Clash of Kings===
When the Brave Companions turned cloak and took Harrenhal for [[Roose Bolton]]. Qyburn took over the duties of Harrenhal's maestar who was killed for dispatching ravens to Kingslanding.

===A Storm of Swords===
Qyburn used his exceptional healing abilities to prevent the infection on Jaime's severed wrist from spreading. He accompanied Ser Jaime to [[King's Landing]] when Lord [[Roose Bolton]] decided to send him back to his father.

===A Feast for Crows===
Qyburn left the company and joined the court at King's Landing, where he convinced [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] to allow him to experiment on the dying [[Gregor Clegane]]. He later gained favor with her by using his knowledge to torture her prisoners. Cersei eventually appointed him her Master of Whisperers to replace [[Varys]] after his disappearance. Qyburn also took Varys' place in the [[Small council]]

Part of the payment for his services to Cersei included permission to experiment on various prisoners and enemies of Cersei's. These typically proved fatal to the subject. Qyburn was working on a master project to build an "undefeatable champion" for Cersei. He ordered a massive suit of armor, too huge to be worn by any human, for this purpose. His extended experiments on Gregor Clegane seem to factor into the size of his creation. Qyburn may also have some knowledge of magic, as he suspected Oberyn to have used it on the venom to prolong Clegane's death.

===A Dance with Dragons===
Qyburn is present at the Red Keep when Cersei completes her penance walk and introduces Cersei to her champion and the newest member of the [[Kingsguard]], "[[Gregor Clegane|Ser Robert Strong]]". Qyburn, though dismissed from small council, still works with the eunuch's whisperers. According to [[Kevan Lannister]] Qyburn is in charge of the dungeons where most of the (falsely) accused lovers of [[Margaery Tyrell]] are held. Cersei Lannister is delighted to hear this, as Qyburn was one last straw Cersei could clutch in King's Landing.

==Appearance==
He is tall, slightly stooped with crinkles around his blue eyes.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Cersei</ref> He has grey hair and looks fatherly.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Jaime</ref>

Reznak mo Reznak

'''Reznak mo Reznak''' is the [[Ghis]]cari seneschal of the city of [[Meereen]]. He is a small man, fleshy and bald from age. He wears lots of perfume. He has a thick accent.<ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Daenerys I (A Dance with Dragons)|Daenerys I]]</ref>

==Recent Events==
===A Dance with Dragons===
After [[Daenerys Targaryen]] takes Meereen, Reznak serves her as Seneschal, though Dany is often mistrustful of the man, a suspicion that only grows after [[Quaithe]]'s warning of "beware the perfumed seneschal" (it is unknown if this refers to Reznak or not).<ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Daenerys I (A Dance with Dragons)|Daenerys I]]</ref>Reznak opposes much of the advice [[Skahaz mo Kandaq]] gives Daenerys on how to handle the [[Sons of the Harpy]]. When [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]] becomes King of [[Meereen]] after [[Daenerys Targaryen]]'s disappearance, Reznak is one of the few of Dany's council who is not dismissed. [[Barristan Selmy|Ser Barristan]] shares his queen's mistrust of the man, believing that a man should smell of sweat not perfume.

Valyrian steel

2011-09-29T02:02:09Z

S.O.L.I.D.: changed punctuation

'''Valyrian steel''' is a magical alloy invented in [[Valyria]] and used to make weapons of unparalleled quality. Valyrian steel blades are lighter, stronger, and sharper than even the best castle-forged steel, and feature distinctive rippled patterns similar to Damascus steel. Only the greatest weaponsmiths can reforge swords from existing Valyrian steel, but the secret of creating such an alloy was apparently lost with Valyria, making those remaining weapons highly treasured and extremely rare. Most Valyrian steel blades in [[Westeros]] are treasured heirlooms of noble houses, each with its own name and storied history. The blacksmiths of [[Qohor]] claim to know how to reforge Valyrian steel, and [[Tobho Mott]] did reforge [[Ice]] at the request of the Lannisters, in [[King's Landing]].

According to semi-canon sources, it is the spells and magic that make the steel special.<ref>Producing Valyrian Steel. (March 11, 2001) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/P105/ So Spake Martin]</ref>
