General Information

The only member of the house who has appeared is Ser Boros Blount, one of Robert’s Kingsguard. Ser Boros or some other knight of the house was also present at the great tournament at Harrenhal and was a part of the episode in which the Knight of the Laughing Tree made his mark during the event.

Spoilers

Ser Boros was arrested and stripped of his place in King Joffrey’s Kingsguard after giving up Prince Tommen to a superior force of men, led by Ser Jacelyn Bywater at the command of Tyrion Lannister, without putting up any sort of resistance. He was reinstated by Lord Tywin when he became Hand, and remained Tommen’s food taster. He begins to grow notably heavier and slower, and his color is not good, suggesting some seriousness illness.
