POV characters

**POV characters** are those characters whose perspective the story of **A Song of Ice and Fire** is told from. The POV characters in the books can be divided into three broad categories:

* **Prologue/epilogue POV characters:** These are the characters whose perspective the prologue and epilogue chapters of each book have been told from. So far each book has had a prologue, whilst only *A Storm of Swords* and *A Dance with Dragons* have had epilogues. So far, every prologue and epilogue POV has perished at the conclusion of their chapter, except for the prologue to Storm of Swords, which ends with the character's death seemingly imminent (and confirmed later in the book).
* **Major POV characters:** These are the 'main' POVs from whom the bulk of the story has been related. Each main POV chapter is headed simply by the character's name.
* **Minor POV characters:** Introduced in *A Feast for Crows*, this category includes POV chapters from 'minor' characters rather than the major protagonists of the series. They are differentiated from the main POVs by having a descriptive title rather than just a name and appear only when needed for story purposes. Several minor POV characters have since been promoted to major POVs, noted by their names being used rather than titles.

## Major POV characters

14 characters
(in order of total number of chapters):

## Minor POV characters

Patchface was discovered in Volantis by Lord Steffon Baratheon during his trip to the Free Cities to fins a bride for Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. He bought the boy, and intended to bring him back to Storm's End, so that he could be enjoyed by his sons, Robert and Stannis.

Lord Steffon's ship, Windproud, was wrecked in Shipbreaker Bay, however, with Steffon, his wife, Cassana Estermont, and one hundred men going down with the vessel. Patchface was washed up to shore three days later, naked, with white, wrinkled skin. The man who found him, Jommy, insisted that the fool's skin had been clammy and cold. Initially it was thought that the fool was dead, but it turned out he was still alive. Ser Harbert tried to persuade Maester Cressen to kill the boy out of kindness, but Cressen decided against this.

Nobody knows what happened to Patchface for the two days that he was missing, but some smallfolk claim that a mermaid gave him gills in return for his seed.

## Books

## History

Jeyne was married to Tytos in 235 AC, in a joint ceremony that saw Tytos' older brother, Tion Lannister married to Ellyn Reyne. Tion died during the following year, however, leading Ellyn a widow. As she found her influence declining she attempted to seduce Tytos.

Tytos confessed this to his wife, who then in turn went to Lord Gerold Lannister, who married Ellyn off to Lord Walderan Tarbeck, thus removing her from Casterly Rock.

Jeyne remained, and gave birth to five children. First there was Tywin, who would go on to become Lord of Casterly Rock, then Kevan, who would be his elder brother's right hand man, then Genna, the only daughter, then Tygett, and lastly Gerion. She died a moon's turn after birthing Gerion.

It is unknown how Jeyne felt about some of the decisions her husband made, such as marrying Genna to Emmon Frey, but what is known is that, prior to his wife's death, Tytos Lannister was known as the Laughing Lion, but afterwards no man could lay that name at his feet. This suggests that he was hit badly by Jeyne's death.

Hugh aimed to become a king, but had a cup of wine thrown in his face by Prince Daeron Targaryen after he made his claim. Ulf threatened to beat the boy, even though he was the younger brother of the king he was supporting.

House Greyiron

### Coat of Arms

The sea king's head, white with dark green seaweed beard and hair, a black crown on a grey field.

### Founded

Age of Heroes

**House Greyiron** is an extinct noble house of the Iron Islands. Its sigil was the sea king's head, white with dark green seaweed beard and hair, a black crown on a grey field.

## History

The Greyirons were an ancient house of First Man blood, originating on the small island of Orkmont. They were fierce and respected raiders and reavers. According to legend, five thousand years ago Urron Redhand was chosen as the High King, or Grey King, of the Isles in the traditional kingsmoot. However, he then had all the other claimants present murdered and declared that from now on the High Kingship would pass from father to son, and if another house wished to take it they would have to seize it by force.

Urron's descendants ruled the isles for a thousand years until the Andal invasion of Westeros finally reached the Iron Isles. The Greyirons were deposed and slaughtered, and Andals settled on the islands, interbreeding with the local population. Curiously, the Andals who came to the islands soon found themselves adapting to the local way of life, and abandoned the Faith of the Seven to worship the Drowned God instead.

After King Harren the Black of House Hoare was slain in the razing of Harrenhal by Aegon the Conqueror, House Greyjoy was appointed as the ruling house of the Iron Islands, Lord Vickon Greyjoy claiming kinship and descent from Urron Redhand. The veracity of this claim is uncertain.

Myles fights during the uprising of Robert Baratheon, and travels with Lord Jon Connington to Stoney Sept, where he fights in the Battle of the Bells. Myles is killed by Lord Robert Baratheon in single combat, whilst Robert tried to escape Jon. Rhaegar was said to be hurt by his friend's death.
