Blackfire achieves a new level of accuracy by aggregating several profile samples and getting rid of non relevant data.

There is currently no mention of Maenar in George's published vs New Relic: What are the differences?ĭevelopers describe Blackfire.io as " Blackfire Profiler automatically instruments your code to gather data about consumed server resources like memory, CPU time, and I/O". The story of Maelys killing his cousin Daemon was eventually told in The World of Ice and Fire (published in 2014) and his physical appearance is the reason given for his alias.

Tyrion does take part in one of Haldon's history lesson in the following chapter but the subject matter is the Free City of Volantis and not the Blackfyres. In the end those drafts became part of A Dance with Dragons, Tyrion III but the information about the Blackfyres was scrapped entirely from that chapter.
Martin split it into two books: A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons.

Those drafts were originally intended for the fourth book in the series before George R. The attempt failed, however, and Maelys was thereafter known as "Maelys the Monstrous." He then sacrificed his only son, the four-year-old Maenar, in a fire ritual in order to hatch old dragon eggs. Haldon explains that after killing his cousin Daemon, Maelys read in old Valyrian scrolls gifted by Samarro Saan that king's blood could wake dragons out of stone. QuotesĬhapter drafts dating back to October 2003 and June 2004 present an alternative origin of Maelys's sobriquet "the Monstrous." In these early versions, Tyrion Lannister assists a history lesson given by Haldon Halfmaester to Young Griff in which lore about the Band of Nine and the Blackfyres is taught. īarristan Selmy recalls that King Jaehaerys II Targaryen had granted him the white cloak of the Kingsguard after he slew Maelys Blackfyre during the War of the Ninepenny Kings. Maelys's skull is larger than the rest, grotesquely malformed, and below it is a second, fist-sized skull, that of Maelys's nameless twin brother. Īt the camp of the Golden Company, Jon Connington sees that the captain-general's tent is surrounded by a ring of pikes topped with the gilded skulls of previous captain-generals. That night, Tyrion has a nightmare where he has two heads, and fights in battle alongside Barristan Selmy and Bittersteel, slaying his father and brother while his second head weeps. In Essos, Illyrio Mopatis tells Tyrion Lannister that when Maelys died, the male line of House Blackfyre came to an end.
Jaime recalls visiting Riverrun as a boy, ignoring Lysa Tully while begging her uncle Brynden for tales of Maelys the Monstrous and the Ebon Prince. Jaime Lannister reads Barristan Selmy's page in the White Book of the Kingsguard, where it is written that he slew Maelys the Monstrous, last of the Blackfyre Pretenders, in single combat during the War of the Ninepenny Kings. Maelys's death decided the war, as the other members of the Band of Nine were barely interested in Westeros, and fell back to their own domains. Towards the war's end, Maelys himself was killed by Ser Barristan Selmy, a young knight from the stormlands, who thereby ended the Blackfyre threat to the Iron Throne. Maelys personally killed Lord Ormund Baratheon, Jaehaerys's Hand of the King, early in the war. The war, dubbed the War of the Ninepenny Kings, was fought entirely on the Stepstones. In 260 AC, King Jaehaerys II Targaryen sent an army to the Stepstones to meet the Band of Nine in battle. Maelys declared himself to be King Maelys I Blackfyre. While it was generally believed that the Band of Nine would founder in Essos, they managed to sack and take Tyrosh, and seize the Stepstones, which made them a real threat to Westeros. The Band of Nine pledged to help Maelys in conquering the Seven Kingdoms. There, they formed an alliance called the Band of Nine, promising to aid each other in carving out a kingdom for each member. In 258 AC, Maelys gathered with eight other outlaws, exiles and sellsword captains beneath the Tree of Crowns in the Disputed Lands in Essos. Following Daemon's death, Maelys assumed command of the Golden Company. Maelys killed Daemon's destrier, and then twisted Daemon's head until he tore it from his shoulders. Maelys grew up in exile in Essos, and eventually became a kinslayer deliberately, when he fought his own cousin, Daemon, for command of the Golden Company.
