Bellegere Otherys, also known as the Black Pearl of Braavos, was a smuggler, trader, occasional pirate, and the captain of the Widow Wind.[1]
Contents
Appearance
Bellegere is said to have been "as black as a pot of ink".[2]
History
Maester Yandel claims Bellegere's parents were the daughter of a Braavosi merchant and an envoy from the Summer Isles,[1] but that is not correct.[3] She was actually born of the union between the son of a Sealord of Braavos and a Summer Islander princess.[1][2]
After Princess Naerys Targaryen almost died in 161 AC after giving birth, King Baelor I Targaryen sent her husband, Prince Aegon Targaryen, to Braavos on a diplomatic mission. Aegon met Bellegere in the Free City. The Black Pearl's ensuing affair with the prince continued for ten years, though it was said that she had a husband in every port and that Aegon was one of many.[1]
Family
Bellegere gave birth to three children during the decade, two girls and a boy of doubtful paternity: Bellanora Otherys, Narha Otherys, and Balerion Otherys.[1] Bellanora became a famous courtesan under the name the Black Pearl of Braavos, and her descendants continued the tradition, until today's Black Pearl, who is also named Bellegere.[4][5]
