Brynden Rivers, called "Bloodraven", bastard son of King Aegon IV Targaryen, one of the so-called legitimized 'Great Bastards'. During his life, he was a Targaryen loyalist during the Blackfyre Rebellion, the Hand of Aerys I, and Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Some evidence in A Dance with Dragons suggests him to be the three-eyed crow. See Three-eyed crow/Theories.

Character and Appearance

Brynden was not as tall or muscular as his half-brothers but reasonably well-built. He was an albino, he had milk white skin, long white hair, red eyes and a blood-red colored birthmark, extending from his throat up to his right cheek, some thought it resembled a raven, hence his nickname 'Bloodraven'.

Some regarded his appearance as being unsettling. After he lost an eye on the Battle of the Redgrass Field, he rarely covered the empty socket, adding to his fearsome aspect.

Brynden was a strong warrior, Brynden carried the Valyrian sword Dark Sister, but he preferred his weirwood longbow and was an expert archer.

He typically wore the colors of "blood and smoke", with smoke being a dark grey that was mottled and streaked with black. Because his skin was sensitive to light, he usually went about cloaked and hooded. He wore his white hair straight and to his shoulders, with the front brushed forward to cover his missing eye.

History

Brynden Rivers was born to King Aegon IV Targaryen by his sixth mistress, Mylessa Blackwood, born in 175 AC.

Brynden served on the small council of his half-brother Daeron II (on which he presumably served as Master of Whisperers. During the Blackfyre Rebellion, Brynden remained loyal to King Daeron, and commanded a group of longbowmen called the Raven's Teeth. On the council he advocated a hard line against the rebels, winning out over Prince Baelor's call for leniency. At the Battle of the Redgrass Field, he lost an eye fighting his half-brother, Aegor Rivers. His Raven's Teeth ultimately gained the Weeping Ridge, and rained arrows down on Daemon Blackfyre from 300 yards away. Daemon and his twin sons were killed. For this, people would name him a kinslayer.

In 209 AL, Rivers became Hand of the King, serving throughout the reign of his nephew Aerys I. His first major trial was The Great Spring Sickness, which had killed Daeron II, the previous Hand, two princes, and tens of thousands of others. Seeing the corpses pile up in the streets of King's Landing, Brynden ordered the pyromancers of the Alchemists' Guild to burn them in the Dragonpit. The light of their wildfire pyres could be seen as a glow throughout the city during the night. There was also a drought that lasted at least two years, causing many smallfolk to leave their lands in search of somewhere the rain still fell. Bloodraven ordered them to return to their own lands, but few obeyed. Indeed they blamed Bloodraven, cursing him as a kinslayer. Many of them became robbers. It was widely held that travel was less safe under Aerys’ reign than it had been under his father’s. Prices increase as trade dwindles.

Around 211 AL, Lord Dagon Greyjoy raided the western coast, including Fair Isle, the shipping of the Arbor, and the village of Little Dosk in the Reach. Lord Beron Stark called his banners to repulse the Ironmen from Stony Shore, while the Lannisters built ships to strike at the Iron Isles. During all this, Bloodraven kept his eye on Tyrosh, where Bittersteel and the Golden Company lay. Victarion Greyjoy recalls that "even Dagon could not defeat the dragons," suggesting that the Targaryens did eventually intervene.

In another conflict within the realm that year, Ser Otho, the Brute of Bracken succeeded to the lordship of Stone Hedge. Not wanting to see such a man in power, the traditional Bracken rivals of House Blackwood started a war to root him out. Bloodraven, being born of Aegon IV's mistress Mylessa Blackwood, is not inclined to stop it.

As "Lord Bloodraven," Brynden was rumored to be a sinister sorcerer, effectively ruling the kingdom “with spies and spells." The events of The Sworn Sword take place during his reign as Hand, though he does not personally take part in the story. Maekar I imprisoned him in the Red Keep's black cells until around 233 AC, the year King Aegon V ascended to the throne, when he was sent to the Wall as part of the "honor guard" of prisoners that accompanied Aegon's brother Maester Aemon. Eventually he rose to Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. The song A Thousand Eyes, and One was written about him.

The Mystery Knight

Lord Bloodraven's wariness paid off in 212 AL. Thanks to the information of a Vyrwel man-at-arms and a troupe of comic dwarfs, Lord Bloodraven was aware of the plot to put Daemon II Blackfyre forward as the legitimate king of the Seven Kingdoms. Bloodraven marched on Whitewalls with 300 Raven's Teeth, three brothers of the Kingsguard, 500 other knights, and 5,000 infantry. These were drawn from the Crownlands and Riverlands, namely Darklyn, Hayford, Massey, Rosby, Stokeworth, Mooton, Blackwood, and Lothston men. In the face of such a force, Daemon II tried to rally the tourney-goers to battle, but found little support. Daemon then challenged the Hand to single combat; Bloodraven refused and arrested the pretender, containing the Second Blackfyre Rebellion. Daemon was kept in captivity rather than executed with the other rebel leaders, ensuring that Bittersteel couldn't name his brother Haegon as a serious pretender.
