I was a smuggler before, and when Storm's End was under siege, I managed to smuggle onions and salted fish through the Redwyne blockade to feed the defenders. Stannis decided to reward me for my help, but cut off the fingers of my left hand as punishment for smuggling." The old knight showed his left hand which had all the fingers missing.
