He was a big, brutal hulking swordsman and most likely a rapist.[1]

History

The Princess and the Queen

Blood was an serjeant in the City Watch. He lost his gold cloak for beating a whore to death whilst in a drunken rage. He spent time in Flea Bottom. After the death of Prince Lucerys Velaryon, Blood, along with Cheese was employed by Prince Daemon's go-between to slay one of Aegon II' sons.[1]

Once Blood and Cheese confronted Queen Helaena in the Tower of the Hand they told her to name which son she wanted them to kill. Queen Helaena offered herself but they refused stating it had to be a son. Although Queen Helaena eventually named her youngest son Maelor (after Cheese threatened that Blood would rape her daughter if she didn't choose one now), they killed Jaehaerys instead. It was Blood who slew Jaehaerys. He struck the boy's head off with a single blow. After killing Prince Jaehaerys, Blood and Cheese did no further harm to Queen Helaena or her surviving children and fled with the prince's head in hand.[1]

Quotes

It has to be a boy.[1]
