{{char}}, called Lord Bloodraven, was the bastard son of King Aegon IV Targaryen by his sixth mistress, Lady Melissa Blackwood. He had two older sisters, Mya and Gwenys, and numerous half-siblings.[8] As his mother was highborn, Brynden was counted among the Great Bastards. Like his bastard siblings, Brynden was legitimized by King Aegon IV in 184 AC. Brynden's personal arms were a white dragon with red eyes breathing red flame on a black field.

Brynden was a Targaryen loyalist during the Blackfyre Rebellions.

In the television adaptation Game of Thrones, Struan Rodger (Season 4) and later Max von Sydow (Season 6) portray the "Three-Eyed Raven." In Season 4, the character quotes "a thousand eyes and one," but in Season 6 it is unclear whether he is meant to be {{char}} or is loosely based on him.

Brynden was an albino, and thus had milk-white skin, long white hair, and red eyes.[11] On the right side of his face he had a red winestain birthmark, that extended from his throat up to his right cheek. The birthmark was the reason why he was called "Bloodraven", as it was said to look somewhat like a raven drawn in blood. However, Ser Duncan the Tall thought the birthmark just a blotch.[1] According to George R. R. Martin, it is more a suggestion of a raven shape, like an ink blot.

Brynden was not as tall or muscular as his half brothers, Daemon and Aegor,[11] but he was considered more cunning.[1] A shade under six feet tall, Brynden was thin and gaunt. He had a grim forbidding aspect, and sharp, vaguely sinister features.[11][13] He typically wore the colors of scarlet and smoke, a dark grey mottled and streaked with black.[11] For instance, one of his outfits included a scarlet tunic with black boots and a smoke-colored cloak.[14] Because his skin was sensitive to light, Bloodraven usually went about cloaked and hooded.[1][11]

Brynden lost an eye during the First Blackfyre Rebellion, and rarely covered the empty socket with a patch, preferring to display his scar and empty socket to the world.[12] He wore his white hair straight and to his shoulders, with the front brushed forward to cover his missing eye.[14][11] Although Brynden carried the Valyrian steel longsword Dark Sister and was a good swordsman, he was also an expert bowman who preferred to use his tall weirwood longbow.[13]

Brynden was rumored to be a sinister sorcerer and spymaster,[11][14] who effectively ruled the kingdom "with spies and spells" and as "Lord Bloodraven".[1] A popular riddle asked was, "How many eyes does Lord Bloodraven have? A thousand eyes, and one".[14] The song "A Thousand Eyes, and One" was written about Brynden.[2]

In 175 AC, Brynden was born in King's Landing[9] as the bastard son of King Aegon IV Targaryen and his sixth mistress, Lady Melissa Blackwood, who had replaced the king's fifth mistress, Lady Barba Bracken.[15] Brynden's older sisters were Mya and Gwenys Rivers.[8] Although Melissa was eventually dismissed by Aegon IV in favor of his seventh mistress, Lady Bethany Bracken, Brynden was able to maintain close relations at court because of Melissa's popularity.[10]

Brynden was resented by Barba's bastard son, Aegor Rivers, nicknamed "Bittersteel". At some point, Brynden became a lover to his half-sister, Shiera Seastar. As Aegor desired her as well, Shiera became another point of rivalry between the two half-siblings.[16] Brynden would become Shiera's most ardent admirer.[17]

Like his other bastard siblings, Brynden was legitimized by his father Aegon IV in 184 AC, when the king was on his deathbed.[8]

During the First Blackfyre Rebellion, Brynden remained loyal to his trueborn half-brother King Daeron II Targaryen instead of joining his bastard-born half-brother, Daemon I Blackfyre.[18] Brynden commanded his private guards, a group of longbowmen called the Raven's Teeth.[1][10][5]
