Qyburn in A Feat For Crows
Juanita Juanita Aug 28, 2014 10:24AM
During Cersei's chapter No. VII, one of Cersei's plots goes wrong. She asks of Lady Falyse to have her husband rid of Ser Bronn, who is married to her sister Lollys. However, things do not go so smoothly and Cersei is afraid that Falyse is no longer reliable. She gives her to Qyburn. What does Qyburn do with the women Cersei gives him? I believe he had his chain revoked because he studied the human anatomy and practiced on the living. Is that what he is doing??



There are theories and speculations, because we'll have to wait for other books to know. These theories have something to do with necromancy. He seems to be using women and their potential to produce life (get pregnant), probably related to the reanimation of Gregor Clegane and who knows who else.

I'm not sure I want to know in detail what and how he does to women, but I bet it's the gruesome version of stem cells research. Quotes below.

He seems to be using them alive:
“There are four. Perhaps Your Grace might allow me two of them for mine own purposes. A woman would be especially …”
“I gave you Senelle,” the queen said sharply.
“Alas. The poor girl is quite … exhausted.”


Then later, we have this dialog:
“I cannot have Falyse spreading tales about the city. Her grief has made her witless. Do you still need women for your … work?”
“I do, Your Grace. The puppeteers are quite used up.”
“Take her and do with her as you will, then.”


And finally...
“Is Lady Falyse still alive?”
“Alive, yes. Perhaps not entirely … comfortable.”
[...]
“Alas,” said Qyburn. “I fear that Lady Falyse is no longer capable of ruling Stokeworth. Or, indeed, of feeding herself. I have learned a great deal from her, I am pleased to say, but the lessons have not been entirely without cost. ”


Qyburn seems to be a necromancer, given what he seems to have done with Gregor Clegane.


He seems to be into some sort of creepy death magic


Qyburn seems to be Cersei's go-to to make problematic people dissapear. I was under the impression the fate of Falyse was horrific medical expeiments and/or some dark magic of some sort.
