Alyn was a childhood friend of Daemon II Blackfyre. He and Daemon were bullied by Daemon's older twin brothers, Aegon and Aemon. He wept when Daemon went into exile after the First Blackfyre Rebellion.[1]

On the way to Whitewalls, while part of Lord Gormon Peake's entourage accompanying Ser John the Fiddler (Daemon in disguise), Alyn first encountered Ser Duncan the Tall. He did not care for Dunk and was jealous every time "John" approached him.
