Tessario, known as Tessario the Tiger and Tessario the Thumb, was a sellsword from the Free Cities in service of Lord Unwin Peake during the early reign of King Aegon III Targaryen, and the captain of his personal guard during Lord Peake's time as Hand of the King. He is considered by Maester Yandel to be the most likely suspect in the murder of Queen Jaehaera Targaryen.[1]

Tessario was banned from the Mermaid by Roggerio Rogare when Tessario struck one of the prostitutes there. After the events of the secret siege, Tessario was named by Lord George Graceford of being involved in a plot against House Rogare. He was arrested near the River Gate when trying to find a ship to escape on. Under torture and interrogation, he confessed to wanting the Rogare's dead stating he did it for gold, girls and vengeance, being promised the manhood and life of Roggerio Rogare and ownership of his brothel. When asked who promised him this, he only grinned, he was tortured more and named several other names before dying, although Lord Unwin Peakes name was not one of the names he gave up.[2]
