Harmon Dondarrion, called No-Nose Dondarrion, was the Lord of Blackhaven and the head of House Dondarrion during the reign of King Aenys I Targaryen.[1]
Appearance
Harmon's nose was sliced off by the first Vulture King.[1]
History
In 37 AC, a pretender outlaw called the Vulture King gathered thousands to his banners, calling on all "true Dornishmen" to avenge themselves on House Targaryen and the Seven Kingdoms for the First Dornish War as they poured into the Dornish Marches. Writing to King Aenys I Targaryen, Lord Harmon discounted the Vulture King's followers as undisciplined rabble. Not long after, the Vulture King's men stormed and seized Blackhaven, and the Vulture King personally sliced off Dondarrion's nose before putting the castle to the torch.[1]
As the war escalated, the Vulture King attempted to march west after a failed siege of Nightsong, only for Lady Ellyn Caron to sally forth behind him to join her strength to a strong force of marchers led by Lord Dondarrion. In the resulting "Vulture Hunt", Lord Samwell Tarly cut off the Dornish retreat, and the three marcher lords shattered the Vulture King's host, riding after them into the Red Mountains and capturing the Vulture King. With the Vulture King executed by Lord Tarly, a grateful King Aenys rewarded Harmon and the marcher lords with gold, offices, and honors.[1]
The Lord of Blackhaven was present at the Golden Wedding in 49 AC, but it is unknown if this was Lord Harmon.[2]
Quotes
This Vulture King is half-mad, and his followers are a rabble, undisciplined and unwashed. We can smell them coming fifty leagues away.[1]
