The Fiery Hand is a group of slave soldiers employed as guards for the red temple of R'hllor in the Free City of Volantis. The Fiery Hand contains a thousand soldiers, never more and never less.[1] Each of these soldiers is a slave of R'hllor. They wear ornate armor over their orange robes, and wield spears with points shaped as writhing flames.[1] As per custom of Volantis, these slaves have flames tattooed across their cheeks.[2]

Five soldiers of the Fiery Hand escort the priest Moqorro aboard the Selaesori Qhoran.[3] Only three of them survive the storm that wrecks the ship. They are brought to the slave auction held outside of Meereen.[2] Tyrion Lannister believes that the flames tattooed upon their faces will ensure some red temple will purchase them from the slavers.[2]
