The Black Pearl of Braavos

Digital portrait of Bellegere Otherys (the Black Pearl of Braavos), a character from A Song of Ice and Fire. She is wearing a shirt with purple corset, a knee-length yellow skirt, and her curly hair tied up with some loose strands. She is standing leaning back on the deck of her ship.

Bellegere Otherys

Smuggler, trader, sometime pirate, captain of the Widow Wind, born of a union between a Braavosi merchant’s daughter and an envoy from the Summer Isles. After Naerys fell pregnant and almost died in 161, King Baelor sent Aegon to Braavos on a diplomatic mission. Accounts of the time suggest it was an excuse to make certain Aegon left Naerys alone as she recovered from a failed childbirth. There he met Bellegere Otherys. His affair with the Black Pearl continued for ten years, though it was said that Bellegere had a husband in every port and that Aegon was but one of many.
