Selwyn

Selwyn is the Grand Maester of the Citadel, who has served in King’s Landing and on the Small Council for over fifty years. Despite this long service he is also one of the greatest enigmas to the court. There are few who do not seek his advice, or counsel on a wide array of matters. Selwyn has enjoyed a particularly close relationship with Aenar I throughout most of the monarch's adult life, and is his most trusted advisor.

Little is known of his early life, but he is quite gifted in all matters of the arcane. That for which he is most notable, perhaps, is his work with dragons and knowledge of dragon lore. Which is said to surpass that of any living member of the royal family, including King Aenar himself.

His relationship with the Conclave has sometimes been fraught, but of the living maesters there are few that could challenge his wisdom. Still there are some who name him the Sorcerer, the Singer, and even the Secret Keeper. For, unique among his order, Selwyn has sometimes proved reticent to share bits of knowledge he has gained with little to no explanation.
