Recent Events

A Dance with Dragons

Soon after Hizdahr zo Loraq marries Daenerys Targaryen, Queen of Meereen, he replaces Skahaz mo Kandaq as commander of the Brazen Beasts with his own cousin, Marghaz.[1]

When Skahaz and Ser Barristan Selmy plot against Hizdahr, Skahaz reassures the knight that Marghaz will not be be a threat to their plans.[3]

Quotes

Barristan: If Hizdahr should learn that you are here ...
Skahaz: Who will tell him? Marghaz? Marghaz knows what I want him to know. The Beasts are still mine. Do not forget it.[4]

Selmy had already formed a healthy contempt for the man. He had known his sort in King's Landing—fawning to his superiors, harsh to his inferiors, as blind as he was boastful and too proud by half.[2]
