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.

Prince Garin - Histories and Lores Season Five (2015)

Prince of the city of Chroyane, Garin rallied together the bickering Rhoynar leaders and led them against the invading armies of Volantis, amassing the largest army in the whole history (at the time) of Essos.

Despite the numerous disadvantages, the battle ended with the Rhoynar killing two dragons and forcing the third to retreat. Garin was named "The Great" for his leadership and military strategy.

He attempted to end the fight once and for all by marching on Volantis, however was taken prisoner by the Valyrians and placed in a golden cage, forced to watch as his army was massacred before his eyes.

Transporting him back to Chroyance, Garin was helpless to stop the conquerors taking the women and children as slaves. Leaving him to die alone in his prison, the singers created songs that said Garin cried out for the Mother Rhoyne to bring about vengeance upon all his enemies.

The very next night, water and vapour flooded the city carrying the disease known as Greyscale, which many would go on to call "Garin's Curse".

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.

Cheese - The Princess and the Queen (2013)

Formerly hired by the royal family to act as a rat-catcher to the Red Keep, history and songs would only remember this man as Cheese.

Following the death of Lucerys Velaryon, Daemon Targaryen asked the King's former Mistress of Whispers to find him some assassins that could kill one of King Aegon II's sons. "The Pale Stranger" hired Cheese along with an ex member of the Gold Cloaks to complete the act, fully aware of his knowledge of the tunnels and passageways beneath the stronghold. Utilising the snickets, Cheese led the two of them into the very centre of the castle, slipping past all the City Watch and King's Guard without being detected.

History questioned whether they were also tasked with making an attempt on the King's life as well, however many people said that Cheese's memory of the entrances would not have been enough to get into Maegor's Stronghold.

Instead they attacked the Tower of the Hand, entering the bedchamber  of dowager queen Alicent Hightower and taking her hostage. Cheese tied her up and waited for Queen Helaena and the children to arrive to say goodnight to their grandmother, which the assassin knew was a nightly ritual for the Queen and her progeny.

He snuck out from the shadows and captured Maelor Targaryen, declaring to the queen that they were "debt collectors" with the goal of "a son for a son".  He went on to promise that they would not hurt the others, as long as they could kill the son she chose without any delay or obstruction. He advised that she hurried up and made her choice, fully aware of Blood's proclivity for rape and violence and warning her that if the former sergeant got bored, he would have no qualms with sexually assaulting her six year old daughter Jaehaera. Finally, growing impatient of pushing her, he gave her the ultimatum to chose one or all of the children die.

Hearing her choice to kill her youngest son, Cheese viciously remarked to the two year old that Halena wanted him dead, before giving Blood the signal to decapitate Jaehaerys. In the panic and confusion, Cheese and Blood escaped and were never seen again.

Their actions helped lead to the suicide of Queen Helaena and open rebellion throughout King's Landing, prompting the destruction of the Dragon Pit, forcing Queen Rhaenyra to flee back to Dragonstone for her life.
