Biography[]
A vicious, sadistic bloodrider whose cruelty is seen by Daenerys Targaryen as rivaling her brother Viserys Targaryen. He regularly leaves bruises on Doreah’s pale skin, makes Irri sob at night, and even the horses are afraid of him.
At the wedding of Daenerys and his khal, he gives them a dragon bow. When Viserys draws steel at a feast in Vaes Dothrak, he then threatens Dany and her unborn child. Khal Drago orders him and the other bloodriders to immobilize him. Qotho pinned him as the others disarmed him.
Later, at the beginning of the following year, and after raiding a Lhazareen town, he tries to stop Khal Drogo from being healed with magic by Mirri Maz Duur. He kills Quaro during a fight between Drogo's bloodriders and Daenerys' protectors, only to be killed by Jorah during the same fight. His fellow bloodriders, Cohollo and Haggo, are killed as well.
