Melisandre of Asshai, also known as the Red Witch, was a priestess of R'hllor. While she shadowed King Stannis Baratheon, many rumours spread about her sorcerous ways that supposedly aided the King of the Narrow Sea, he was still defeated on the battlefield by blood and steel. She, however, found no purchase in the Northern Court with her religion of fire. The last time she was seen was in 303 AC travelling through the devastated Riverlands and preaching of her Red God to the smallfolk. While she mysteriously disappeared afterwards, her previous actions in Westeros could be felt for many years.
