Podrick Payne

Ser Podrick Payne was a knight of House Payne and member of King Gendry I Baratheon's Kingsguard. Born into the minor House Payne, he became a squire during the War of the Five Kings, eventually ending up in the service of Lord Tyrion Lannister, where he would go on to save Tyrion's life during the Battle of the Blackwater. Following Tyrion's arrest for King Joffrey I Baratheon's murder, he became the personal squire of Brienne of Tarth, and accompanied her on her task to ensure the safety of Sansa and Arya Stark. He remained by Brienne's side during the Great War, fighting in and surviving the Fall of Winterfell and the Battle of King's Landing. Following the Great War, Podrick was knighted and named to King Gendry I Baratheon's Kingsguard, where he continued to serve under Brienne after she was named the Kingsguard's Lord Commander.
