Character

Archmaester Gyldayn describes Ben as a scoundrel.[1]

History

The disguised Rickard Thorne of the Kingsguard and his charge, Prince Maelor Targaryen, tried to stay overnight in the Hogs Head while journeying to the safety of Lord Ormund Hightower's host at the nearby siege of Longtable. Ben Buttercakes instructed his stableboy, Sly, to search for coins in Rickard's belongings, but Sly found Maelor's dragon egg wrapped in Rickard's white cloak instead. When he informed the inn's common room of his discovery, Rickard fled the inn with Maelor, slaying Ben on his way out.[1]
