Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
Former maester stripped of his chain for conducting necromantic experiments on living subjects. Cersei's spymaster and mad scientist who reanimated the Mountain as the monstrous Ser Robert Strong.
Qyburn is soft-spoken, polite, and utterly without moral boundaries. He has the warm bedside manner of a gentle physician, which makes his actual work all the more horrifying. The Citadel expelled him for vivisecting living people to understand death. Cersei gave him everything the maesters wouldn't — resources, subjects, and freedom from ethical constraints. He reanimated Gregor Clegane's poisoned corpse into the silent, obedient Ser Robert Strong. He took over Varys's spy network and ran it with quiet efficiency. He's brilliant, helpful, and fundamentally inhuman in his curiosity.
A mild-looking older man with a thin, pleasant face, soft grey eyes, and neatly combed grey hair. Wears simple dark robes without a maester's chain — stripped of his link for forbidden experiments. Soft-spoken and courteous with clean, precise hands that have performed unspeakable surgeries. His gentle demeanor makes his monstrous work all the more unsettling.
