A former sergeant of the City Watch, the man known now as "Blood" was stripped of his gold cloak after killing a sex worker in a drunken rage. Still loyal to Daemon Tagragreyn and recognising him as the Prince of the City, he was chosen by his Lord's spymaster to commit an assassination on one of King Aegon II and Queen Helaena's sons.
With the help of a fellow mercenary and his knowledge of the various secret passageways beneath the Red Keep, the pair used the tunnels to access the Tower of the Hand. Strangling Dowager Queen Alicent's bedmaid to death, the pair set up an ambush for the queen and her children.
Cutting down Helaena's guard, the pair demanded that the young queen choose which one of her two sons they would kill, in accordance with Daemon's contract. Growing impatient with her stalling, he threatened to sexually assault her six-year-old daughter Jaehaera.
Ignoring Helaena's request to sacrifice Maelor, he beheaded Prince Jaehaerys instead, taking the boy's head with him as proof of the deed.
While he initially evaded capture, he was finally caught two days later. He was stopped at the Gate of the Gods trying to leave King's Landing with the prince's severed head and taken into custody. Tortured for his crimes against the crown, he confessed his allegiance to Daemon and the rendezvous they were meant to have at Harrenhal. He also gave up information about his co-conspirators; Lady "Misery" Mysaria and the ratcatcher.
He was killed on the thirteenth day of his torment.
