Sometimes Life Imitates Westeros
As the only known Targaryen in Westeros, Maester Aemon performed his role as Maester at Castle Black. His advanced age robbed him of his eyesight before the show began, but he retained capacity of his wits. Similarly, the actor who played him, Peter Vaughn, also endured partial blindness. Like Aemon, Vaugn died peacefully at age 93 in 2016.
