Roro Uhoris was the Tyroshi captain of the Cobblecat. He was known as the Blind Bastard up and down the narrow sea though he was neither blind nor a bastard. He was executed by the Night's Watch at Eastwatch-by-the-sea.[1] He claimed that he could tell one port from another just by the way they smelled. Cities were like women, he insisted; each one had its own unique scent. Oldtown was as flowery as a perfumed dowager. Lannisport was a milkmaid, fresh and earthy, with woodsmoke in her hair. King's Landing reeked like some unwashed whore. White Harbor was shape, salty, and a little fishy like a mermaid should. [2] He said the more seals on Seal Rock the luckier the voyage would be. [3]

History

Roro had sailed the Cobblecat past the Wall into a dozen coves and traded arms to the wildlings in exchange for furs and other precious goods. On his return south of the Wall, the Cobblecat was intercepted by a Night's Watch fleet and escorted to Eastwatch-by-the-sea. There, Roro was executed on the deck of his ship for trading arms to the wildlings and all the goods that he had received was confiscated.[4]
