When Ser Amaury Peake of the Kingsguard came with a dozen men-at-arms to arrest Prince Viserys's wife, Larra Rogare, Sandoq met them alone. And slaughtered them with, quite literally, contemptuous ease -- according to the account of a purported eyewitness, "betwixt every fresh wound he dealt Ser Amaury, he would kill one of his remaining minions".
* ScaryBlackMan: He was seven feet tall, dark skinned, and dark haired. That and all the scars and disfigurements must have made him very intimidating, not to mention his skill at fighting.
* SubmissiveBadass: Despite his incredible strength and fighting skills, he was perfectly content to just serve as a bodyguard to Larra Rogare and Aegon III.
* TongueTrauma: His lips and tongue were removed. He usually hid it with a black silk veil.
* WrestlerOfBeasts: Fought many beasts in the Death Pits of Meereen. It's said that he killed wolves, lions, bears, and wyverns using nothing but the rocks he found with his hands.
* YouShallNotPass: Held off Amaury Peake and his goons at the gates of Maegor's Holdfast when they came to arrest Larra Rogare. And none made it past the drawbridge.

!!!Historical Pentoshi
[[folder:Rego Draz]]
!!Rego Draz, Master of Coin
!!!The Lord of Air

A Pentoshi merchant, trader, and money-changer who rose from nothing to become the richest man in Pentos. He was Jaehaerys I Targaryen’s Master of Coin.



* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:While going from his mansion to the Red Keep, he was attacked by drunken, bigoted criminals in Flea Bottom. He was pulled from his palanquin, beaten, and then had his head smashed with a cobblestone until only a mass of bone, blood, and brains remained. Afterwards, they ripped his fine clothes and cut off his fingers to take his rings.]]
* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:When Jaehaerys learned what had happened to Rego, he personally went to recover his friend's body, then [[BewareTheNiceOnes threatened the occupants of Flea Bottom]] that he [[TongueTrauma would have all their tongues cut out]] unless Rego's killers were handed over to him. When Jaehaerys finally got his hands on the men responsible for Rego's murder, [[PayEvilUntoEvil he had them disembowelled and hung from the walls of the Red Keep]], refusing their desperate pleas to escape execution by joining the Night's Watch]].
* EveryManHasHisPrice: His suggestion to insure the election of an accommodating High Septon was to spread bribes among the Most Devout.
* InSeriesNickname: After he was made a lord by Jaehaerys to put him on equal footing with the rest of his council, some smartass dubbed him “the Lord of the Air” because he had no lands, sworn men, or a castle. [[InsultBackfire Draz replied that if he could tax air, he'd be a lord indeed]].
* NoRespectGuy: While in Pentos he was shunned by his countrymen and denied a place in the magister’s council because of his low birth. After moving to Westeros to become Master of Coin, he had to put up with being despised by the smallfolk and blamed for everything just because he was a foreigner and didn’t worship the Seven.
* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: Using rhetorical questions around him was a great mistake, as he was prone to answering them.
-->''(After receiving news of a great fire in the Disputed Lands)''
-->'''Ser Myles Smallwood:''' A dragon. What else could it be?
-->'''Rego Draz:''' A lightning strike. A cook-fire. A drunk with a torch looking for a whore.
* SelfMadeMan: He climbed his way from nothing to untold wealth and power.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Rego was one [[spoiler:for Androw Farmen during his killing spree on Dragonstone; Rego realised the deaths were not being caused by a mystery plague but by someone using the Tears of Lys to poison people, and Androw's wife, Rhaena Targaryen, quickly figured out her husband was the culprit]].

* BadassArmy: Qohor's city guard is comprised entirely of Unsullied, in recognition of their defence of the city from the Dothraki khalazar of Khal Temmo.
* TheBlacksmith: Qohor has the best. They are the only ones who know how to work Valyrian Steel and produce other blades of extremely fine quality. However, Maester Pol claims that while in the city he discovered that the blacksmiths used human sacrifice, including infant slaves, to increase the quality of their weapons. This raises the question of what the Valyrians themselves were doing to create their own blades.

** Braavos being a CityOfCanals like Venice. The Titan of Braavos is a statue based on both the Colossus of Rhodes (a statue [[BetweenMyLegs whose legs form the entrance to the port]] in popular depictions) and the legendary Colossi of Memnon in Egypt (a statue that "sings" on sunrise.) As a city founded by slaves, exiles, and boasting a multi-cultural, multi-lingual culture, it can be seen as one for New York City as well with the Titan being the medieval Lady Liberty. The number of playhouses make it sound like Elizabethan era London.
