Murmison was a septon who became a renowned member of the Faith and a Hand of the King from 39 AC - 41 AC under Aenys I Targaryen. [1]
History
Murmison was appointed Hand of the King by Aenys I Targaryen as a way to try and appease the Faith of the Seven and the High Septon. The Faith was furious when Aenys brother Maegor took a second wife. Aenys tried to placate the faith by stripping Maegor of his office and sending him into exile to Pentos.
Aenys however enraged the faith in 41 AC when he wed his daughter Rhaena to his heir Aegon receiving a denunciation from the faith "King Abomination", Pious Lords and even smallfolk who once loved Aenys turned against him. Murmison was expelled from the faith for performing the wedding of Aegon to Rhaena and was later torn apart by smallfolk in a litter two weeks after he performed the ceremony. The faith militant uprising had begun.
Septon Murmison's prayers reportedly worked miracles. He was made Hand of the King and was a horrible choice. He is now used as a warning about the makings of a good Hand.[2]
