Allegiances

Sandoq, called Sandoq the Shadow, was a former pit fighter in service to Lady Larra Rogare during the reign of Aegon III Targaryen.

Appearance and Character

Sandoq stood nearly seven feet tall, with black skin and hair. His face was horribly disfigured; it bore numerous thin white scars, and his lips and tongue had been removed. He typically hid his disfigurement under a black silk veil.[1]

Sandoq was illiterate, but had a gift for music, playing a stringed instrument of goldenheart and ebony.[1]

He wielded a great curved sword of Valyrian steel with a dragonbone hilt, as well as a tall black shield of nightwood, boiled hide, and iron.[1]

History

Sandoq's history before his service to House Rogare is uncertain, but it is said that he had been a veteran pit fighter in Meereen, with a hundred wins to his name.[1]

In 135 AC, during the plot against the Rogare family, Sandoq protected his lady's husband, Prince Viserys, and his brother, King Aegon, from Ser Amaury Peake and his guardsmen, slaying them all at the gates of Maegor's Holdfast. Thus began an eighteen-day standoff before the plot unraveled.[1]

Sandoq along with several Kingsguard accompanied King Aegon upon his sixteenth nameday when he entered the small council chambers. Sandoq presence unnerved the Hand of the King and the Regents as the king dismissed them from his service. [1]
