Follow-up to my ‘potential biography on any Asoiaf character’ question. Why would you choose Septon Barth as your subject ? Is it because he himself is a compelling figure or because of the dragon knowledge he has or because of the interesting people he worked with? Or a combination of all of the above? Thanks, greatly enjoy all the insight!

 All three. He was probably the best Hand of the King ever, so there’s a lot to talk about how Westeros works as a political institution. He was also a scholar with unparalleled knowledge of the secrets of the Children of the Forest, the Others, and the Dragons, so he’s probably the best person to talk to about the metaphysical metaplot. And he was also the lifelong confidant of Jaehaerys and would have known him and his family very well indeed. 

So with apologies to @poorquentyn, I’m going to go with Westeros’ Most Interesting Man over the later wannabe.
