History

During the Battle of the Honeywine, Lord Thaddeus led an army of blacks against Lord Ormund Hightower's greens. However, the arrival of Prince Daeron Targaryen on his dragon Tessarion turned the battle for the greens. Lord Rowan retreated north with the remnants of his host. Though Thaddeus survived the war, his wife passed away soon after the war ended. [3][4]

He was named lord justiciar and master of laws by Lord Unwin Peake after Peake became Hand of the King.[1] After Lord Unwin Peake resigned as Hand in 134 AC, Thaddeus was named to the position. With the return of the king's brother, Prince Viserys Targaryen, and his wife, Lady Larra Rogare, whose brothers accompanied her to King's Landing, the ambitious Rogare family soon became embroiled in the conflicts of the regency of Aegon III. There were those at court who mistrusted the Rogares, with accusations of wrongdoing being spread back and forth by many parties. Lord Thaddeus, accused of treason and being involved in a plot with the Rogare family, was tortured for information and stripped of his position of Hand. On day twelve of the secret siege, Lord Thaddeus was brought before the king and prince. Thaddeus face was so bruised and swollen he was near unrecognisable, his teeth had all been knocked out of his mouth. He falsely confessed to King Aegon and Prince Viserys in his involvement in the plot. It was soon clear to Viserys though that Lord Thaddeus had been broken by his experience and simply said yes when accused of anything, a point that was exemplified the Mushroom asked him if he poisoned King Viserys I, to which Thaddeus said he did.[2]

After the siege ended and the real conspirators were caught, Thaddeus was reinstated in his post as a regent and King's Hand. It soon became clear he was no longer suited to his office, one moment he seemed his old self, the next he burst into weeping. Court fool Mushroom mocked him at times, and once got him to confess to causing the Doom of Valyria. King Aegon politely dismissed him from the office and Grand Maester Munkun took the position of Hand of the King for the remainder of that year.
