History[]

Davos tells Shireen that he once almost got beheaded by a First Sword of Braavos; Davos tried to explain to him that he was a smuggler rather than a pirate, but the First Sword didn't care about the distinction.[4]

Known First Swords of Braavos[]

In the books[]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the First Sword of Braavos is often chosen by the Sealord because he is the most observant of the bravos (sword fighters), not necessarily because he is the most talented swordsman; therefore he is best able to protect him from threats both seen and unseen.

According to the appendix of A Feast for Crows, the current First Sword of Braavos is Qarro Volentin.
