Azor Ahai was a legendary hero who wielded a burning sword called Lightbringer, according to tales from Asshai and followers of R'hllor (the red god). He has other names in other cultures and religions. According to prophecy, in ancient books of Asshai from over five thousand years ago, Azor Ahai is to be reborn again as a champion sent by R'hllor.
This will occur after a long summer when an evil, cold darkness descends upon the world. It is said that wielding Lightbringer (a lengendary flaming sword he drove in the chest of his wife (with her permission) combining her soul with the steel) once again, Azor Ahai will stand against the darkness and if he fails, the world fails with him.
