Mellos was the Grand Maester on the Small Council of King Viserys I Targaryen, a Citadel-trained scholar and healer who counted himself an ally of Otto Hightower. A conservative physician, he favored leechings over newer remedies.
In House of the Dragon he is a fixture of Viserys's court, delivering the king's child by a fatal cesarean, advising on matters of succession, and bringing moon tea to Princess Rhaenyra at the king's order. This overview reflects his on-screen depiction; see the Timeline for chronology.
