Hazzea's father is a Ghiscari farmer who lives on the plains near the city of Meereen. His daughter is apparently killed by Drogon.

In the television adaptation Game of Thrones, where his daughter is renamed Zalla, he is portrayed by Darren Kent.[1]

Appearance

He is a squat man with a windburnt face, and coarse red-black hair cropped about his ears. He is shabbily dressed.[2]

Recent Events

A Dance with Dragons

After Hazzea is killed by the black dragon, Drogon, her father brings her burned bones to Daenerys Targaryen in the Great Pyramid of Meereen. Daenerys is plagued by guilt, and orders her three dragons caged, but Drogon escapes and heads to the Dothraki sea.[3]

Skahaz mo Kandaq suggests that the father just used Drogon and Dany as an opportunity to get rid of an unwanted child. It is also suggested the sons of the Harpy did the deed, and made it look like Drogon did it. Dany wishes she could believe this, but finds herself unable to, since Hazzea's father had waited until the entire court had been cleared before confronting Dany with his daughter's bones.[3][2]

Instead of killing Hazzea's father, as the Shavepate urges Daenerys to do, Dany decides to pay the blood price for Hazzea. On the condition that her family never speaks a word of what has happened to her, Daenerys will pay Hazzea's family money each year on Hazzea's nameday. Hazzea herself is put to rest in the Temple of the Graces, with a hundred candles burning day and night in her memory.[3]

Quotes

"It were the black one," the man said, in a Ghiscari growl, "the winged shadow. He come down from the sky and … and …"

No. Dany shivered. No, no, oh no.
[…] Ser Barristan said quietly, "[…] Those are no sheep bones."

No, Dany thought, those are the bones of a child.[2]
