The High Lickspittle, as he was dubbed by the Faith Militant during the Faith Militant uprising, was the third High Septon of the Faith of the Seven during the reign of Maegor I Targaryen.[1]

History

He replaced the elderly and amiable High Septon after his death in 44 ᴀᴄ. The Faith Miliant dubbed him "the High Lickspittle", because he never spoke against King Maegor while hundreds of Poor Fellows were hunted and murdered for the bounty Maegor put on their scalps. In defiance, a band of Poor Fellows crowned one of their leaders, Septon Moon, as their own High Septon.[1]

In 47 ᴀᴄ, the High Septon sailed from Oldtown to King's Landing, to officiate at the wedding between King Maegor and the three women known as the Black Brides.[1]
