Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Byan is the captain of a caravan encamped in the Western Market of Vaes Dothrak. He is the bearer of a letter from Magister Illyrio Mopatis addressed to Ser Jorah Mormont. Princess Daenerys Targaryen is trading in the market when she is nearly poisoned by a wine trader of the caravan. Aghast, Byan gives the poisoner into the custody of the princess's guards and his goods to Daenerys as a token of regret.[1]
Notes
- ↑ Byan adopts the freeborn Norvoshi tradition of wearing a long mustache as facial hair (The World of Ice and Fire - The Free Cities: Norvos). However, dying facial hair is a common custom from Tyrosh. (The World of Ice and Fire - The Free Cities: The Quarrelsome Daughters: Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh).
