Unwin Peake

When the original council of King Aegon III Targaryen's regents was formed in 133 AC, Unwin was not offered a place amongst them. According to Septon Eustace, Unwin was angered by his exclusion. Following the death of Lord Corlys Velaryon in 132 AC, the other regents offered the empty seat to Unwin, who accepted. After the death of Ser Tyland Lannister, Hand of the King, in 133 AC, Unwin was one of the three regents who remained in King's Landing, besides the ailing Lord Manfryd Mooton and Grand Maester Munkun. Unwin insisted that the other regents, who had departed the capital before Tyland's death, had given up their place on the council by doing so. Supported by Munkun, Unwin undid all of King Aegon III's appointments, as the king had not consulted his regents in making them. Unwin instead selected his own people for the vacant offices, and named himself as Hand and Lord Protector of the Realm.
