Bernard was later named as being an accomplice to the plot. Bernard eventually confessed to his involvement, citing his hatred of the Lysene and their foreign god's.[1]

The High Septon wrote asking that Bernard be spared execution so he may repent. King Aegon obliged and Bernard was gelded and sent to walk barefoot from King's Landing to Oldtown with his manhood hung around his neck. He spent the rest of his life as a scribe copying holy books at the Starry Sept, after being made to take a vow of silence.[1]
