| “ | I am sorry about this, Mira, but you've made enemies of the wrong people. A handmaiden should know her place. I'll make this quick, if it helps. I'd hate to watch you suffer. | ” |
— Damien admitting remorse before attempting to assassinate Mira Forrester.
| ||
Damien is a Lannister Solider stationed in King's Landing. He attempts to murder both Mira and Tom after luring the former into a false sense of security.
Character[]
Damien appears kind, calm, polite, and courteous initially, but manipulatively uses this to lure Mira into a false sense of security. Even after doing his assassination tasks, he never seems to lose his calm and sophistication, except when he is injured in the middle of a task, as with the case if Mira protects Tom. Despite this, it seems that he is not in the least sadistic nor cruel, and admits that he deeply hates watching people suffer. However, that doesn't mean that he isn't ruthless, and will kill people if he must, though he still takes no pleasure in doing so.
Game Of Thrones[]

Damien is first seen after Mira leaves after speaking with the Merchant Lords, Andros and Morgryn. He later leaves her a note to meet him in the garden at midnight. She does as he asks and goes to the gardens at midnight. Lucan catches her and then Damien comes up and tells him to stand down. He tells him that she's with him and Lucan departs. Damien says that Mira's made enemies of the wrong people and pulls out his knife and attacks her. Damien begins to choke her but Tom saves her by hitting him over the head.
