History
According to legend, The cook was at the Nightfort and he once served an Andal king a pie. It turns out the Cook killed the kings son, a prince, and baked him in the pie along with bacon. The king was unaware of this however and praised the taste as he ate and asked for a second piece. The gods, angry not because the cook had baked the prince but because the cook had slain a guest beneath his roof cursed the cook and transformed him into a massive rat who could only eat his own young.
He is, according to the story, an enormous white rat and the other rats that inhabit the Nightfort are his descendants.[1] Such is the infamy of the tale that there is a song about the Rat Cook that is still sung today in the Seven Kingdoms despite the fact that this incident was supposed to have happened hundreds of years before Aegons landing.
