History Characters / ASongOfIceAndFireEssosTheFreeCities

A former pit fighter at the service of Larra Rogare. When a coup against the Rogare family was launched by supporters of Unwin Peake, he held off the attackers for eighteen days until they were called off.

* YouShallNotPass: Held off Amaury Peake and his goons for eighteen days at the gates of Maegor's Holdfast. And none made it past the drawbridge.

* DisproportionateRetribution: He killed Robin Massey over a dispute for a horse they both wanted.

[[folder: Tessario the Tiger]]

* MassiveNumberedSiblings: He had trueborn nine children, Lysaro, Larra, Moredo, Lotho, Roggerio, Lysara, Drako, Fredo and Marra Rogare. He also had at least ''sixteen'' bastards.

* TheCaper: What he and Varys might well have cooked up between them is a take on a two-man fencing con. This one, however, is on a global scale, rather than the simple caper you'd expect to see off any given High Street alleyway. We've a long way to go to the full reveal to judge the actual nature of this, though. But... it ''looks'' like they might be "returning" the Crown of the Seven Kingdoms to the Targaryens [[spoilers: or Blackfyres]] -- for a price. When they seem to have had their fingers all over how the Targaryens lost it to begin with.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: They're fond of putting beets in many of their dishes.

* AgentPeacock: Enjoyed sweet scents, bathing himself in lavender or rosewater. The man sometimes dressed as a woman and pretended to be a whore. He was still a force to be reckoned with.

* PetTheDog: He had a strangely selective choice of petting. He liked kittens but disliked cats and liked pregnant women but didn't like children.

* OneManArmy: Very few can claim this, but he defeated a knight of the Kingsguard and all his cronies, holding them off for 18 days without fail, so he earned the distinction.

* YouShallNotPass: Held off Amaury Peake and his goons for eighteen days at the gates of Maegor's Holdfast.

The wife of King Viserys II, though she was long dead by the time he ascended to the throne, and the mother of his three children, Aegon IV, Naerys, and Aemon. Born the daughter of the wealthy and powerful Lyseni banker Lysandro Rogare, she married Viserys when he turned up in Lys after the Dance of the Dragons. When Alyn Velaryon brought Viserys back to Westeros, Larra and her brothers went with them. But after several years in Westeros, she left Viserys to return to her native Lys.
!!!See the [[Characters/ASongOfIceAndFireHouseTargaryenAncestors House Targaryen Ancestors character page]].
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Larra never felt truly a part of court, which might have motivated her to return to Lys even if it meant leaving her husband and children.
* AllThereInTheManual: Only mentioned in ''The World of Ice and Fire''.
* BusCrash: It's not known what happened to her after she went back to Lys, only that she died six years later.
* HotConsort: Subverted. She was very beautiful, but left court and died long before Viserys became king, so she was never his queen consort.
* MissingMom: Aegon, Aemon, and Naerys were still very young when she left them.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Returned home to Lys not long after giving birth to her third child, Naerys.
* WrongfullyAccused: In one incident, her brothers were arrested by those who mistrusted the Rogare family. Lord Thaddeus Rowan, Aegon III's Hand who was thought to be the Rogares' ally, was arrested as well, though he was also tortured for information.

!Myr
Situated on the shore of the Sea of Myrth, the Free City of Myr is renowned for its expert craftsmen. The city produces some of the finest lace, glass, and crossbows in the known world, among many other fine items. Ruled by a group of magisters, the people of Myr are often dark-haired and dark-eyed.

[[folder:In General]]
* AmbiguouslyBrown: The origins of the native Myrmen are unclear. Due to their olive skin, dark eyes, and dark hair, some believe they might be related to the Rhoynar.
* TrueCraftsman: Myr is famous for its skilled artisans and Myrish goods, such as glass and lace, are among the most highly prized in the world.

[[folder: Craghas Dahar]]
!!Admiral Craghas Dahar
!!!Crabfeeder
A Myrish prince-admiral.

%%* FourStarBadass
* {{Greed}}: After driving out the pirates of the Stepstones, Dahar and his fellow admirals grew so greedy that they raised the tolls of ships passing through the Stepstones until they became worse than the pirates. This led Corlys Velaryon to join Daemon Targaryen and make war against Triarchy to drive them from the Stepstones.
* InSeriesNickname: "Crabfeeder", for the hundreds of pirates staked out on beaches of the Stepstones to drown in the rising tide.
* OffWithHisHead: Decapitated by Daemon Targaryen with the Valyrian sword Dark Sister.

!Norvos
!!!Great Norvos
Located in the the Hills of Norvos along the banks of Noyne, Norvos was founded by religious dissidents from Valyria who wished to have a city made up only of true believers. Although nominally ruled by a High Magister and a council, the Bearded Priests have true control over the city.

* AnAxeToGrind: What Norvos is known for.
* BaldWomen: Norvoshi women shave their entire bodies, though noblewomen don wigs, specially when in company of foreigners.
* ChurchMilitant: The Bearded Priests buy and train unwanted boys as household guards and soldiers.
* CultColony: Originally founded as such.
* ImpliedTrope: The theocracy in Norvos bears a semblance of what the Faith of the Seven intended to do in Westeros with the Andal Invasion, which is to enforce a theocratic government; though they became the foremost church in Westeros, the ingrained religions of the First Men and the Ironborn, plus the institution of Kingship practiced all over Westeros prevented the Faith from exerting the influence that they intended to have.
* TheTheocracy: The Bearded Priests are the true rulers of Norvos: the High Magister and the council of religious protectors are chosen by them.

[[folder:Mellario]]
!!Lady Mellario of Norvos
-->''"What sort of father uses his own flesh and blood to pay his debts?"''
--->--'''Mellario'''
The estranged wife of Prince Doran Martell and mother of Arianne, Quentyn, and Trystane.
!!!For the main House Martell entry, [[Characters/ASongOfIceAndFireHouseMartell see here]].
* AmicablyDivorced: Mellario and Doran remain in contact.
* CultureClash: She never adapted to the customs of Westeros, chiefly among them the practice of sending one's children to be fostered by other families as part of the political game.
* FourthDateMarriage: They met, they fell for each other, and got married.
* TheGhost: Arianne, Quentyn, and Areo mention her in their POV chapters, but she hasn't been seen in person.
* MamaBear: Downplayed. She was ''not'' pleased when Doran sent Quentyn away to the Yronwoods, and she let him know it. However, there was little she could really do about it: when Doran tried the same with Arianne and sent her to Tyrosh to serve as cupbearer, Mellario threatened to harm herself which made him back down. The issues turned too hard to solve which led to her leave Doran and her other children. How she felt about leaving Arianne and Trystane isn't mentioned in the books themselves, but Martin's comments below state she wasn't too happy about it.
* MarryForLove: Doran and Mellario married out of attraction and not to [[ArrangedMarriage cement a political alliance]].
* MissingMom: Though she's still alive, she hasn't lived with her husband and children for many years.
* OnlyOneName: Her family name is not known.
* TheResenter: Despite the fact that they separated on good terms, [[WordOfGod Word OF GRRM]] states she's somewhat resentful at Doran for getting to keep their children with him.

[[folder: Areo Hotah*]]
Doran Martell's current bodyguard and a former servant of Lady Mellario.

!Pentos
A large port city on the western coast of Essos, Pentos is ruled over by a council of wealthy magisters who elect one of their own as Prince of Pentos. Originally built as a trading outpost of the Valyrians, the initial settlers of Pentos interbreed with the Andal natives of the region freely, making the blood of Old Valyria run weak in its inhabitants.

[[folder: In General]]
* HumanSacrifice: Should a war be lost or a crop wither, the Magisters cut the throat of the Prince of Pentos and choose another until the crisis is over.
* LoopholeAbuse: Since IndenturedServitude is not forbidden in Pentos, the wealthy Magisters keep bronze-collared "servants" that are slaves in all but name.
* PuppetKing: The Princes of Pentos.

[[folder: Illyrio Mopatis]]
!!Magister Illyrio Mopatis
!!!The Cheesemonger
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/illyrio_mopatis_ffg_8032.png]]
-->''"Illyrio believes in no cause but Illyrio. Gluttons are greedy men as a rule, and magisters are devious. Illyrio Mopatis is both."''
--->--'''Ser Jorah'''
A morbidly obese merchant and Magister of Pentos who arranged for Daenerys' marriage to Khal Drogo in the first book and gave her three dragon eggs as a wedding gift. He supports the Targaryens' campaign to regain the Seven Kingdoms and, [[spoiler:following Viserys' death,]] ends up shifting his attention towards helping Daenerys. [[spoiler:Though greed may play a part in his actions, his scheming with Varys hint at deeper motives]].

* {{Acrofatic}}: A clue to his past as a water dancer is the way he still walks lightly on the balls of his feet.
* AffablyEvil: He's jolly, complimentary and completely amoral.
* AmbitionIsEvil: He's so ambitious, [[spoiler: he's willing to play with the lives of people on two continents to get what he wants. Very willing.]]
* BeardOfEvil: He even [[StrokeTheBeard strokes it]] obscenely.
* BigEater: He gorges himself constantly while traveling with Tyrion. [[RealityEnsues Tyrion notes that he takes very frequent pee breaks, indicating that he may be pre-diabetic.]]
* TheCaper: What he and Varys might well have cooked up between them is a take on a two-man fencing con. This one, however, is on a global scale, rather than the simple caper you'd expect to see off any given High Street alleyway. We've a long way to go to the full reveal to judge the actual nature of this, though. But... it ''looks'' like they might be "returning" the Crown of the Seven Kingdoms to the Targaryens [[spoilers: or Blackfyres]] -- for a price. When they seem to have had their fingers all over how the Targaryens lost it to begin with.
* TheChessmaster: He clearly attempts to be this as he manipulates events and people to his advantage, but unforeseen circumstances, such as Viserys' untimely death and Daenerys' rebelliousness, [[XanatosSpeedChess constantly cause him to reevaluate his plans]].
* DidntSeeThatComing: A lot of his plans and ideas never quite pan out. He tells Tyrion that he had expected Daenerys to die on the Dothraki Sea but she ended up with three dragons and several levels of badass instead, while Viserys ended up dead. The Golden Company's captain, Tristan Rivers, sums up Illyrio's poor record in terms of plans coming to fruition and why they should go their own way instead:
-->'''Tristan Rivers''': Which plan? ... The fat man’s plan? The one that changes every time the moon turns? First Viserys Targaryen was to join us with fifty thousand Dothraki screamers at his back. Then the Beggar King was dead, and it was to be his sister, [[UnderestimatingBadassery a pliable young child queen]] who was on her way to Pentos with three new-hatched dragons. Instead the girl turns up on Slaver's Bay and leaves a string of burning cities in her wake, and the fat man decides we should meet her by Volantis. Now that plan is in ruins as well. I have had enough of Illyrio’s plans. Robert Baratheon won the Iron Throne without the benefit of dragons. We can do the same.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He's had two wives. While his feelings towards his first wife aren't clearly established, his second wife, Serra, who died of a plague (likely greyscale), he says he dearly loved. He still keeps a locket with her picture in it to always remember her... [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and also her preserved hands]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He seems to have a strong aversion to unnecessary violence.
* ExactWords: What he said about noble Westeros families still loyal to the Targaryens is true but they are mostly petty lords. [[spoiler: The most powerful potential ally, House Martell, are secretly in league with a different Targaryen.]]
* FatBastard: Oh, so very much. In an [[AffablyEvil avuncular]] kind of way, though.
* FormerlyFit: He used to be a slender, handsome young sellsword. As his wealth ballooned, so did his weight, apparently.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: While he suggests that he was helping Viserys to eventually be made Master of Coin of Westeros, his plots with [[spoiler:Varys]] hint at ulterior motives.
* IWasQuiteALooker: No one would ever guess it now, but he used to be a handsome, muscular sellsword. Tyrion's thrown for a loop when he sees the statue carved of the much younger Illyrio.
* InSeriesNickname: Tyrion quickly starts referring to him as "the Cheesemonger". Within a few days of hanging out with Haldon and Duck, they start to do it intermittently as well.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Gave Daenerys her dragon eggs, arranged her marriage to Khal Drogo, sent Barristan Selmy to serve her, and has been [[spoiler:plotting with Varys to destabilize Westeros]] but he's only appeared personally in two books.
* MysteriousBacker: First for Viserys then for Daenerys [[spoiler:and also acts as this for Aegon Targaryen]].
* RetargetedLust: Was quite turned on by Daenerys, but unlike her brother was smart enough to work out his passion on a bedslave.
* SelfMadeMan: Once a simple sellsword and bravo, by teaming up with [[spoiler:Varys]] in his youth, Illyrio managed to become successful enough to marry a daughter of the Prince of Pentos' cousin, and eventually gained enough wealth and prestige to become a Magister of the city.
* SmugSnake: He's a fairly competent schemer, but as his entry for Didn't See That Coming implies, he seems to think of himself as better at it than he actually is.
* TongueTrauma: With the exception of a single bedslave, none of his servants speak, implying they're "little mice" who've grown too old for the work. As with Varys' "little birds", they would presumably have their tongues removed to prevent idle gossip.
* VillainousFriendship: Seems to have one with [[spoiler:Varys]].

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1332709726933366f9d8da8812052b2a.jpg]]
Maegor's Pentoshi mistress (later the third of his wives) and Mistress of Whisperers. She was said to practice sorcery and alchemy. She was executed by her husband in 48 AC after confessing to poisoning his other wives (resulting in their children's deformities and stillbirths).

* AllThereInTheManual: Only mentioned in ''[[Literature/TheWorldOfIceAndFire The World of Ice & Fire]]''.
* BastardBastard: She was rumored to be the illegitimate daughter of a Pentoshi magister.
* BiTheWay: It was rumored that Tyanna was not only Maegor's lover, but Alys Harroway's as well.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:After admitting that she had lied about Alys's infidelity ''and'' poisoned Maegor's other wives, causing them to give birth to deformed monstrosities, Maegor cut her heart out with Blackfyre and fed it to his dogs.]]
* TheDragon: To Maegor.
** CoDragons: For a time she ruled King's Landing alongside Maegor's Hand Edwell Celtigar.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She was the only bride of Maegor who shared his penchant for cruelty, and spent her reign torturing, killing, and conspiring to bring about the deaths of thousands.
* HighClassCallGirl: A courtesan.
* InSeriesNickname: She was known as "the king's raven", on account of her black hair and her influence over Maegor. She was also known as the mistress of whispers and the mistress of spiders.
* LadyMacbeth: [[spoiler:Some of Maegor's worst offenses were instigated by her, including his murder of Queen Alys and her entire house after Tyanna (falsely) claimed that Alys had cheated on him.]]
* MasterPoisoner: [[spoiler:She claimed to have poisoned Maegor's other brides so that their children would be born twisted and deformed.]]
* TheMedic: She treated Maegor after he fell into a coma following his Trial by Seven against Ser Damon Morrigen and six Warrior's Sons.
* TheMistress: Served as Maegor's mistress for several years before he married her upon becoming King.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler:She lied to Maegor that Alys had cheated on him. He responded by murdering her entire family, with Tyanna herself torturing Alys to death.]]
* TheSpymaster: Worked as Maegor's Mistress of Whisperers.
* TortureTechnician: She tortured Maegor's enemies, including Prince Viserys, who she "questioned" for nine days before he died.

[[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.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He found the Lord of the Air moniker hilarious.
* 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.]]
* EveryManHasHisPrice: His suggestion to insure the election of an accommodating High Septon is 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.
* 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.

!Qohor
!!!The City of Sorcerers
The easternmost of the Free Cities, Qohor sits on the banks of the Qhoyne and is near the great forest of Qohor. Founded by religious dissidents, Qohor worships the Black Goat. The city has a dark reputation, with many claiming that its inhabitants practice human sacrifice, necromancy, and blood magic.
[[folder:In General]]
* 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.
* CultColony: Founded for the worship of the Black Goat.
* HollywoodSatanism: They are the satanists to the Norvoshi faith.
* HumanSacrifice: Practiced in Qohor in holy days--in which criminals are sacrificed--and in times of crisis, in which the nobles offer their own children to the Black Goat.
* SecretKeeper: The blacksmiths of Qohor are some of the only people in the world who know how to reforge Valyrian steel.

!Tyrosh
A large harbor city situated on an island off the west coast of Essos, Tyrosh is ruled over by an Archon chosen from amongst the most powerful families of the city. Initially founded as a military outpost of Valyria, Tyrosh has a history of attempted conquest and expansion. One of their more colorful cultural traditions is the use of unique sea snails only found in the vicinity of the city to dye their hair numerous unnatural colors. These dyes remain one of their most important exports.

* {{Greed}}: The Tyrosh are well-known and stereotyped as being greedy.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Tyroshi are known for dying their hair and beards of unnatural colors: mostly blue and green.

!!!The Blind Bastard
A smuggler and pirate Davos Seaworth once operated with.

* TheMentor: Was one to Davos.
* TheNoseKnows: A non superpowered example. He claimed that he could tell one port from another just by the way they smelled. Cities were like women, he insisted; each one had its own unique scent. Oldtown was as flowery as a perfumed dowager. Lannisport was a milkmaid, fresh and earthy, with woodsmoke in her hair. King's Landing reeked like some unwashed whore. White Harbor was sharp, salty, and a little fishy like a mermaid should.
* NonIndicativeName: Neither blind nor a bastard.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: A hundred dragon riders were sent to destroy him. [[{{Understatement}} A bit excessive, perhaps]]?

* TheRepublic: The people of Volantis elect three leaders, called the Triarchy. The triarchs rule jointly for one year, then get replaced or re-elected.
