Lord Brynden Rivers and his Raven's Teeth fought on the side of the loyalists during the First Blackfyre Rebellion. They gained the Weeping Ridge during the Battle of the Redgrass Field and rained arrows down upon the rebel forces, breaking their attack. It was their arrows that slew Daemon Blackfyre and his sons Aegon and Aemon. The company came under attack when Aegor Rivers rallied the disheartened rebels and led a charge against them, taking Bloodraven's eye in the process.[3]

Brynden cut a striking figure when he rode with fifty Raven's Teeth along the Street of Steel in King's Landing in 205 AC. Bloodraven garrisoned the Red Keep with Raven's Teeth during the reign of King Aerys I Targaryen.[3]
