Editing Qyburn (section)

==History==
Qyburn studied at the [[Citadel]], and was as skilled a healer as [[Ebrose]]. However, he sought to surpass the archmaester, and instead of [[w:dissection|opening dead bodies]] to discover the secrets of the living as the Citadel has done for centuries, Qyburn [[w:vivisection|opened living bodies]] to discover the secrets of death. When these unethical experiments, as well as his studies of [[necromancy]], were discovered, Qyburn was stripped of his chain and his position as a maester. Nevertheless, he claims to understand the nature of life and death better than any man in [[Oldtown]].{{Ref|AFFC|7}} 

Following his exile from [[Oldtown]], Qyburn joined the [[Brave Companions]].{{Ref|AWOIAF|Qyburn}} He has respect for [[Marwyn]] of the Citadel, the only archmaester who liked Qyburn's way of thinking about the residue of souls after death,{{Ref|ASOS|44}} but he calls the other archmaesters "grey sheep".{{Ref|AFFC|7}}
