A Dornish knight serving as squire to Prince Oberyn Martell, Daemon Sand of House Allyrion was trained to handle and utilise both blades and poisons in his service with the Prince of Sunspear. He was used to preparing Oberyn's weapons for battle, including coating them with Manticore Venom and other dangerous toxins.Ser Daemon travelled to King's Landing with Oberyn to attend the wedding of King Joffrey Baratheon and Margery Tyrell during the year 301 AC.
"The Mountain and the Viper"
Daemon attended Tyrion Lannister's Trail by Combat, polishing and smearing Oberyn's spear with freshly extracted venom from one of the Red Viper's pet manticores, whilst Grand Maester Pycelle was stating the purpose of the fight.
Once he had finished coating the tip, Daemon tossed Oberyn his weapon and stood back to watch the fight between his Lord and Ser Gregor of House Clegane. He watched with horror and disgust as the Mountain crushed his paladin's head with his bare hands, killing him in a gruesome and violent way.
It is unclear if he returned to Dorne with Ellaria after the trial had ended, or if he survived the purge of Dorne at the hands of the Sand Snakes later that year.
