Gwayne Hightower

Otto's son, Alicent's brother ÔÇö an Oldtown knight of polish and unexpected dry humor, riding north with Ser Criston's host.

A soul of House Hightower, born at Oldtown, sworn to The Greens ÔÇö the King's Party.

The fuller tale

How it ends for them

The chronicle records no death for this soul ÔÇö they are living when the tale leaves them, or their ending is a page the maesters have yet to turn.

Their chapters, book by book

Where the page and the screen part

Gwayne is a relatively minor figure in Fire & Blood's dense chronicle, and the show's aired seasons have given him more developed screen presence and personality than the book's brief mentions ÔÇö one of several cases where the ongoing series has chosen to flesh out a name the history books mostly just record in passing.

Their journey

Where the two tellings send them to the same place the road runs whole; where they part, the screen keeps the left and the books the right.
