Cheese is the alias of a man who, during the Dance of the Dragons, helped murder six year old Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen, King Aegon II's firstborn son and heir, next in line to the Iron Throne. Cheese's true name is lost to history.
History
Cheese was a rat-catcher in the Red Keep. The hidden doors and secret tunnels that Maegor the Cruel had built were as familiar to Cheese as the rats that he hunted. However even Cheese knew of no way in and out of Maegor's Holdfast except over the drawbridge that spanned the dry moat and its formidable iron spikes. Cheese spent time in Flea Bottom.[1]
The Dance of the Dragons
After the death of Prince Lucerys Velaryon, Cheese, along with Blood was employed by Prince Daemon's go-between to slay one of Aegon II' sons.
Using a forgotten passageway in the Red Keep Cheese led Blood into the heart of the castle unseen by any guard. The two men crept up through the walls and slipped into Queen Alicent's chambers. Once inside Cheese bound and gagged the Dowager Queen whilst Blood strangled her bedmaid. Then they waited for Queen Helaena and her children to arrive.
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 her that Blood would rape her daughter if she didn't choose one), they killed Jaehaerys instead. It was Blood who slew Jaehaerys. He struck the boy's head off with a single blow. After killing the prince Blood and Cheese did no further harm to Queen Helaena or her surviving children and fled with the prince's head in hand.[1]
