Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
Ruling Prince of Dorne, crippled by gout and confined to a wheelchair. Patient and calculating, he hides decades of revenge plotting behind a mask of caution and inaction.
Doran sits in his wheelchair in the Water Gardens, watching children play, and everyone mistakes his stillness for weakness. He has dark, deep-set eyes in a heavy face, swollen hands and feet from gout, and speaks softly with careful precision. Where Oberyn was the spear, Doran is the long game — weaving alliances and plots that span years. His own family accuses him of cowardice, never realizing that his patience is the most dangerous weapon in Dorne. He loved Elia as fiercely as Oberyn did; he simply chose a slower path to justice.
Heavy-set and gouty, confined to a wheeled chair with swollen, bandaged legs. Gentle, dark eyes in a lined face framed by thinning grey-black hair. Olive-skinned like all Martells, but pale from years spent indoors. Wears loose Dornish robes in muted oranges and reds, a modest circlet his only sign of rank.
Also known as: Doran, Prince Doran, The Prince of Dorne
