Jon Snow, after being named Lord Commander, sends Dareon south with Samwell Tarly, Maester Aemon, and Gilly, with the idea that his singing could bolster recruitment to the Night's Watch.[5] They sail for Braavos. On the way Dareon sings the songs "Autumn of My Day" and "Iron Lances".[5]

Aemon's condition worsens in Braavos and they are forced to spend their coin on a healer and an inn. With their money running low, Dareon is sent to sing for coin, with which to buy food and passage. Instead, he becomes increasingly distant and desultory, and sings largely for wine and trade from the city's whores. Samwell finds him in a whorehouse called the Happy Port, where Dareon has wed a whore called the Sailor's Wife, who only beds the men she weds. Samwell confronts him for this and accuses him of breaking his vows, and Dareon responds by throwing his cloak in Samwell's face and announcing that he is done with black. Samwell punches him[6] and eventually finds passage and leaves Braavos without him.[7]

She recognizes him as a deserter of the Night's Watch. One night lures him into an alley where she slits his throat as punishment for his desertion and dumps his body into a canal, though she keeps his boots.[8]
