Roro Uhoris
Alias Blind Bastard
Culture Tyroshi
Died Eastwatch-by-the-sea
Book A Storm of Swords

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]
