Aliases: Ser Duncan, Dunk, The Tall
Culture: Westerosi
Allegiance: House Targaryen
Ser Duncan the Tall was a legendary knight who rose from humble origins as a hedge knight to become Lord Commander of the Kingsguard under King Aegon V Targaryen. Standing nearly seven feet tall, Duncan was known for his honor, courage, and simple nobility. He befriended Prince Aegon (later King Aegon V) in his youth, and the two remained close throughout their lives.
Duncan’s journey from lowborn hedge knight to Lord Commander inspired countless stories and songs. He served with distinction during the tumultuous Blackfyre Rebellions and was instrumental in helping Aegon V ascend to the throne. His presence in the Kingsguard demonstrated that true nobility comes from character, not birth.
Duncan the Tall became a symbol of the ideal knight – brave, honorable, and dedicated to protecting the innocent. Tales of his adventures with “Egg” (Aegon V) became legendary. He died at Summerhall, likely saving lives during the tragic fire, cementing his reputation as a hero to the end.
