Dunk V The tourney opens with the lists full of old Blackfyre men. Ser Glendon Ball ÔÇö the Knight of the Pussywillows, Fireball's angry son ÔÇö unhorses all comers; Dunk falls to the craft of Ser Uthor Underleaf, the Snail, and wakes with a dented head and a ransom owed. Dunk VII The dragon's egg vanishes from Lord Butterwell's bedchamber in the night. The drawbridge comes up, the castle is sealed ÔÇö and Ser Glendon Ball, whose father shattered the red dragon's van at Redgrass, is seized for the theft on no evidence but his blood.

Where the page and the screen part

As a Mystery Knight character, Ser Glendon Ball has not yet appeared in any aired season of the show, and no casting has been announced for the role. His combination of chip-on-the-shoulder pride and unwilling entanglement in a political plot makes him one of that novellaÔÇÖs more dramatically promising figures for whenever the production reaches it.
