Dareon is a recruit of the Night's Watch , known primarily for his excellent singing voice. Ser Alliser Thorne refers to him as Lover. During his training at the Night's Watch , Dareon is described as "quick, but afraid of being hit" by Jon Snow. Dareon was an apprentice singer in the Reach , before being caught in bed with a daughter of Lord Mathis Rowan.
Though Dareon maintains that she was waiting for him naked and helped him into her room, under her father's eye she named it rape. For this Dareon was sent to the Wall. Dareon is a recruit with Jon Snow. He is an excellent singer known to sing for the Night's Watch at dinner. Jon Snow, after being chosen Lord Commander, names Dareon as a replacement for Yoren , a missing wandering crow. Aemon's condition worsens in Braavos and they are forced to spend their coin on a healer and an inn.
With their money running low, Dareon is sent to sing for coin, with which to buy food and passage. Instead, he becomes increasingly distant and desultory, and sings largely for wine and trade from the city's whores.
Sam finds Dareon in a whorehouse called the Happy Port , where Dareon has wed a whore called the Sailor's Wife , who only beds the men she weds. Sam confronts him for this and accuses him of breaking his vows, and Dareon responds by throwing his cloak in Sam's face and renouncing the Night's Watch.
Sam punches Dareon [4] and eventually finds passage and leaves Braavos without him. After his desertion, Dareon is successful for a time as a singer in Braavos, visiting the Cattery , the Happy Port , and the House of Seven Lamps , and bragging that in time he will be playing in the Sealord's Palace.
