Game of Thrones/Characters/House Arryn


House Arryn

Lord Jon Arryn (John Standing)

The recently deceased Hand of the King and Lord of the Vale. Jon was Eddard Stark's mentor and was married to Catelyn's sister Lysa.

Tropes:

Lady Lysa Arryn (nee Tully) (Kate Dickie)

Jon Arryn's widow, and sister to Catelyn Stark.

Tropes:

Lord Robin Arryn (Lino Facioli)

"Mommy, I want to see the bad man fly."

Jon and Lysa's only son, and technically Lord of the Vale despite being eight.

Tropes

Arryn bannermen, retainers and household

Ser Vardis Egen (Brendan McCormack)

A knight serving House Arryn.

Tropes:

Ser Hugh (Jefferson Hall)

Also known as "Ser Hugh of the Vale". A young knight and the former squire of the late Jon Arryn.

Tropes:

  • The Apprentice: to Jon Arryn's Old Master
  • Asshole Victim: Gruesome as his death is, it's hard to feel sorry for him given how much of a dick he was to Jory.
  • He Knows Too Much: It's implied that he had something to do with Jon Arryn's death and the other conspirator(s) silenced him by making sure he would be pitted against Ser Gregor.
  • Jerkass: Refuses to talk to Jory because the latter isn't a Knight
  • Promoted to Scapegoat: He's knighted almost immediately after Jon Arryn's death, even though its clear he's neither ready or deserving of knighthood. To Ser Hugh, its payment for his role in the murder, to the people who promoted him, its just one step closer on his way to Gregor Clegane's lance.
  • Red Shirt
  • Sacrificial Lamb: Killed to show how much of a monster Ser Gregor Clegane actually is.

Mord (Ciaran Birmingham)

"Short man making noise again!"

The jailor in charge of the sky cells in the Eyrie.

Tropes:

Back to the main character listing

  1. This trope is rather literal in their case. Jon Arryn's first two wives were barren, so he "fostered" the young boys Robert and Ned, with the intent of naming one of them his heir should he die without issue. The situation was eventually resolved by the rebellion: Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun offered his daughter Lysa as a bride to Jon and joined the war on the side of the usurper. And Lysa gave us little Robin, who solved Jon's Heir Club for Men problem.
