Bloodraven or Brynden was a bastard son of King Aegon IV Targaryen. On his deathbed, the king legitimized all of his bastard-born children, causing a crisis of succession that later led to all-out war. During the Blackfyre Rebellion that followed, Brynden Rivers sided with his half-brother King Daeron the Good and fought against Daemon Blackfyre at the Battle of Redgrass Field, killing him with an arrow volley.[citation needed]

At some point Brynden went north of the Wall and became the Three-Eyed Raven, a revered greenseer among the Children of the Forest. A great-uncle of Maester Aemon, he may be the oldest living human in Westeros and perhaps the world. Under the guise of a Three-Eyed Raven, he appears in Bran Stark's vision-dreams, following his fall and injury, prompting his quest beyond the Wall and guiding him to the cave in which his real human body resides. There, Bran is trained in the magic of the Sight.
