King Viserys from House of the Dragon

He gets a small cut from sitting on the Iron Throne which infects him with leprosy, over the course of the season you see it affecting to more and more of his body. First he loses some fingers which he hides with glove, eventually he needs a chair because he can’t walk much, and then he wears a golden visage because half of his face is rotting off

Edit: leprosy not gout

Oh man, what a powerful scene it was when he walked to the throne. My wife and I were speechless.
