Appearance

Benerro is tall and thin, he has a shaven head, a drawn face and skin as white as milk. Slave tattoo's of flames cover his cheeks, chin and shaven head to make a bright red mask that crackles about his eyes and coils down and around his lipless mouth. His voice carries high and well.

Recent Events

A Dance with Dragons

The ruling Triarchs of Volantis live in great fear of Benerro. He preaches that Daenerys Targaryen is Azor Ahai reborn, an ancient hero of the R'hllor faith and encourages many to support her. This unnerves the Triarchs as four out of every five inhabitants of Volantis are slaves and they fear an uprising. Thousands come to see him preach every night, but the Triarchs are powerless to stop him, as too many of the Tiger Cloaks worship the Lord of Light so the Triarchs dare not order them to attack.

The Triarch Malaquo even attempted to hire the Golden Company to kill Benerro and purge the temple of his followers but the Company refused the offer.

Benerro in secret sent one of his priests Moqorro to Daenerys Targaryen aboard the ship Selaesori Qhoran as an emissary from the R'hllor faith. Even though the ship's destination is Qarth, Benerro saw in the flames that the ship will never reach Qarth.[1]
