I was the first sworn knight of Aegon Targaryen's Kingsguard, an honor that I could never truly repay. Lord Jon had knighted me before we ever set foot in Westeros, but it was upon our landing in the Stormlands, and Aegon's declaration of kingship, that I truly reached unthinkable heights. I had served in the Golden Company for many years, but it was Aegon that truly gave me recognition for my skills. It had been over twenty years since we landed on the shores of Westeros, the Golden Company at our back and the Seven Kingdoms ahead of us.
