Blood - The Princess and the Queen (2013)

With his name removed from all frame of knowledge, the man who would become known as Blood was an erstwhile sergeant of the City Watch, who was dismissed by the commander and crown after he drank himself into a deep rage and killed a prostitute with his bare hands. He later became a butcher and a mercenary. He was a very large and powerful man, with proficient training he picked up during his days in the Watch.

He was contacted by a "Pale Stranger," who put him on the task with a known and respected rat-catcher to break into the Red Keep and assassinate one of King Aegon II's children as revenge for the death of Lucerys Velaryon. The orders that he had been given by the former Mistress of Whispers, were to kill a son and a son only.

With Cheese's help, they were both able to slip into the castle undetected, breaking into the guarded Tower of the Hand without bloodshed. Breaching Queen Alicent's chambers, Blood strangled the dowager's bedmaid while his helper took Alicent hostage.

Blood attacked Queen Helaena and her guards, trapping them all in the room and murdering all but Alicent, the Queen and her children. He threatened to kill them if they called out for help. Listening to her pleas to sacrifice herself for her children, he remarked that she wasn't their target and that only the life of a son would balance out the carnage of the Dance of Dragons.

He considered raping Jaehaera as a means to relieve his boredom, forcing Cheese to intervene and demand that Helaena made her decision faster. Receiving the signal from the rat catcher, he decapitated Jaehaerys with a single blow, stealing the severed head and escaping with it before they could be caught.

His actions had a lasting effect on Helaene, eventually leading to her suicide and the riot in King's Landing that helped destroy the majority of Queen Rhaenyra's support within King's Landing.
