Ser Perkin - The Princess and the Queen (2013)

A Hedge Knight living in Wsteros during the Targrayen Civil War, Ser Perkin - known as the Flea - decided to knight his squire Trystane, stating to the rioters that he was of Targrayen blood and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne as Viserys Targaryen's true born son.

Acting as Trystane's hand, he knighted every rioter who joined Truefyre's campaign, amassing a small army that become known as The Gutter Knights. He protect the King during the riots, aiding his liege in recruiting members of the Mudfoot garrison to swear loyalty to Trystane and capturing the Mud Gate for themselves.

Perkin began looting and killing throughout the capital of King's Landing, hoarding food for himself and the Gutter Knights, and feasting in the Mud Gate as the city went to hell around them. Personally leading his knights in raiding trips against the warehouses, ships and wharfs, which were barely protected due to the numerous other cases of civil unrest. He easily took control and opened the Gate of the Gods, allowing Queen Rhaenyra's enemies to enter the city.

Trystane Truefyre - The Princess and the Queen (2013)

The sixteen year old squire to Ser Perkin during the Targaryen's Dance of Dragons, Trystane was crowned by Perkin during the Riots of King's Landing, with the former telling all who would listen that he was the true born son of the deceased King Viserys Targaryen.

He gained much support and soon had many knights at his command, all of the men and boys legitimised by Ser Perkins, chanting his name and declaring him to be the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.

Trystane managed to persuade the garrison protecting the Mud-Gate to join him, leading to more knights taking up his banner. The four officials that turned down his request for fealty were branded as traitors and executed on his orders.

Lady Mysaria - The Princess and the Queen (2013)

The former lover of Prince Daemon Targaryen, Lady Mysaria was renowned all throughout King's Landing for her stealth and secrecy, acting as an informant for Daemon during and after his time as a Commander of the City  Watch. She was known by many as "The Pale Stranger."

Mysaria had sensitive knowledge about the criminal underworld of Flea Bottom, with connections to various cut-throats and brutes that she had made with her dealings and work. Her information about the operations that went on throughout the city were only matched by the Prince of the City.

She was contacted by Daemon after the death of his nephew Prince Lucerys Velaryon, entrusted with hiring assassins to murder one of King Aegon II's children in retaliation for the bloodshed. After much consideration, she eventually chose to rely on a rat-catcher (who was overly familiar with the underground tunnels of the Red Keep) and a disgraced member of the City Watch (with a vendetta against the crown), paying them to commit the act without causing a city wide incident.

After Queen Rhaenyra took King's Landing from King Aegon II, Mysaria was employed as the Mistress of Whispers, keeping her informed of all the rumours and grievances stirring from Flea Bottom  and the other districts of the capital. In her final report, she told Rhaenyra that the city had fallen to various different factions and their leaders- The Shephard, Trystane Truefire and Ser Perkins the Flea, Gaemon Palehair.
