Bastard, turncloak, and now pirate. The handsome half-brother of Monford Velaryon that once served King Stannis and Queen Cersei now serves no master but himself. He prowls the Stepstones with a fleet of mighty three decked warships, using his crew of Flea Bottom wretches to build himself a stronghold on the island of Bloodstone. From there he endeavours to raid, plunder, and sell his ships to the highest bidder. Whether he will return north to serve Stannis Baratheon or remain in the south is unknown, but Cersei’s newly built Royal Navy currently serves the Lord of the Waters as his own personal fleet. The Lord Tywin serves as his flagship, surely in mockery of Queen Cersei and House Lannister.

Willas Tyrell is the eldest son of Lord Mace Tyrell and Lady Alerie Hightower and the heir to Highgarden. Crippled by Prince Oberyn Martell in his first tourney, he now walks with a bad leg and no prospects of ever becoming a great warrior. Willas instead devotes himself to scholarly pursuits and is fond of reading books and looking at the stars. His greatest achievement comes from breeding the finest hawks, hounds and horses in all of Westeros. An intelligent, studious, educated, pious and kind man, known for his mild and courtly behavior. Compared to the rest of his family, he bears no enmity towards Dornishmen, despite being crippled by the Red Viper.

Serving as his lord father’s regent in Highgarden, the defense of the Reach against the Ironborn invasion has falls on his shoulders. Raising what banners are available to counter Euron Greyjoy's next move, he has nonetheless been hamstrung after Cersei refused to send the Redwyne fleet south to aid in the defense of the Reach until Dragonstone had been conquered.

Margaery Tyrell is the only daughter of Lord Mace Tyrell and his wife, Lady Alerie Hightower. She has thick, softly curling brown hair and large brown eyes. She has a slender but womanly figure with smooth and unblemished pale skin and small breasts. Margaery is fair and lively, with a shy and sweet smile. She is regarded as beautiful or pretty by most. Margaery's attire includes a sheer gown of ivory silk, Myrish lace, and seed pearls. She also wears green with a cloak of autumn flowers, and a pale green samite gown with a tight-laced bodice that lays bare her shoulders and the top of her bosom. An intelligent and shrewd lady, she takes after her cunning grandmother, Lady Olenna Tyrell. Margaery is her protégée, and as such, Olenna has made certain that Margaery is capable of protecting herself from those who might use or abuse her. In many ways a restless woman, Margaery often goes for a ride, a trip by boat, or out hawking. The generous Margaery is popular with smallfolk, and faithfully follows the Faith of the Seven.

The widow of two kings, Margaery is now married to King Tommen Baratheon. With grand displays of charity and interactions with the common folk of King’s Landing she earns their favor, at the same time Margaery encourages Tommen to take a more direct role in his future duty as king. However, the growing rivalry between Margaery and Cersei has reached its tipping point. After Loras suffers grave injuries at the siege of Dragonstone, she visits the sept every day with King Tommen to pray for his recovery. Through conspiracy and intrigue, Cersei has the younger queen framed and arrested for lewdness, fornication, adultery, and high treason by the Faith. Her hatred for the Queen Regent grows ever stronger when realizing the truth behind the conspiracy. After being released by the High Sparrow due to the lack of evidence against her, Queen Margaery is taken into Lord Tarly’s custody who swears that he will return her for the trial. With Mace Tyrell’s army in the capital refusing to leave before her trial, and Queen Cersei’s arrest and subsequent walk of shame by the Faith, tensions are broiling in King’s Landing.

Olenna Tyrell, also known as Olenna Redwyne, is the widow of Lord Luthor Tyrell and the mother of Mace Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden. Born into House Redwyne of the Arbor, she is commonly known as the Queen of Thorns because of her sharp tongue. Lady Olenna is a small woman the size of a child. The white-haired lady appears wrinkled and wizened. She has soft, spotted hands with gaunt thin fingers. Olenna smells of rosewater, but she also has has an old woman's sour breath and toothless smiles. Olenna walks with a cane and claims to be near deaf, but both might be part of her feigning to be frailer than she actually is. Olenna rarely shies from stating her opinion. She is described as a wizened, cunning old woman with a wicked wit and a sharp tongue, earning her the moniker 'Queen of Thorns'. According to her granddaughter Margaery, she is not the most patient of women. Although she regularly mocks members of her own family, she seems to be a staunch supporter of Tyrell family interests. She has twin guardsmen named Erryk and Arryk, whom she refers to as "Left and Right" because she cannot tell them apart.

Lady Olenna has played the role of matriarch of the Tyrell family for a long time. Her constant plotting in King’s Landing has been a major factor in the Tyrells’ current position of prominence at the royal court. From the alliance with the Lannisters, the killing of Joffrey and the subsequent marriage between Margaery and Tommen, the Queen of Thorns has always had her hand in the negotiations. After the wedding, she returned home to Highgarden to the great relief of Queen Regent Cersei.

Asha Greyjoy is a member of House Greyjoy and is the daughter of Lord Balon Greyjoy by his wife, Alannys Harlaw. She is lean and long legged, with dark eyes and black hair cut short. Her face is thin, with a big, sharp nose, and wind-chafed skin. On her neck is a faded pink scar. Asha's attire includes a brown quilted tunic, breeches of black or green wool, a studded belt, and salt-stained high leather boots. She sometimes wears a sleeveless leather jerkin half-unlaced, and she also owns a green leather jerkin covered with overlapping plates of steel. Asha prefers throwing axes, which she has been practicing with since she was just a little girl, but she also keeps a dirk with her. Asha is a wild and headstrong young woman, raised by her mother to be bold. There is a boldness to the way she walks; part saunter, part sway. She possesses a sharp wit and has no problem with holding her own against men, both in a verbal battle and in a physical fight. After her older two brothers died and her younger brother was taken hostage, Asha's father began to see her as his heir, treating her like he would a son. However, Asha preferred Ten Towers, the seat of her uncle Rodrik Harlaw, to Pyke.

During the War of the Five Kings, Asha commanded thirty longships for Balon's invasion of the North, taking Deepwood Motte. After her father's death she returned to the isles to claim the Seastone Chair. Rodrik offered instead to name Asha his heir to Ten Towers, though not to become head of his house. She refused, desiring instead the throne of her father. At the kingsmoot, unlike the other claimants who offered valuables, she presented cobblestones, pine cones and turnips. Asha told the Ironborn these gifts demonstrated how little they have won so far by fighting the North, fathers and sons slain for these "treasures". She offered them a chance for land, peace and victory. With the proposal to make peace and an alliance with the North in exchange for Sea Dragon Point and the Stony Shore, Asha achieved a surprising amount of support. The crowd, however, ultimately favored her uncle, Euron Crow's Eye, and Asha fled with her crew.

While at Ten Towers following the kingsmoot, Asha learned her uncle, King Euron, married her to Erik Ironmaker after she fled Old Wyk, using a seal to represent her at the wedding. She returned to Deepwood Motte with four longships and less than two hundred men. After the fall of Moat Cailin, Ramsay Bolton sent a strip of Theon Greyjoy's flayed skin from Barrowton to Deepwood, warning Asha to leave the North or share her brother's fate. When Deepwood comes under attack by King Stannis Baratheon's army, Asha kills a Flint scout and then flees with her Ironmen toward their ships on the Bay of Ice. They are overwhelmed in the Wolfswood, however, and defeated during the retreat. Asha is taken captive and continues with Stannis' host during their march on Winterfell, fettered in a covered wayn and a broken ankle.

Though aging, the lord of Horn Hill remains a fit and capable warrior, a powerful presence, and above all, a keen commander. Lean, balding, and hard-eyed, the Lord of Horn Hill and newly appointed Master of Law is a man of a martial persuasion. Rigid in his views, he values prowess, bravery and skill in battle above all other virtues, and reviles cowardice and weakness to the point of driving his own firstborn son to join the Night's Watch to make way for his younger son to become the family's heir. Though he now occupies a seat on the Small Council, he is not much of a talker, nor an administrator. Indeed, any presence he holds in a room often has more to do with his reputation than with any powers of persuasion on his part.

Though in battle, Lord Tarly can often be found riding at the front of a host, Heartsbane in hand, he is not a mere brute who relies on strength and Valyrian Steel to prevail in war. While he may not be among the most learned men is Westeros when it comes to the more scholarly pursuits, he is as studied in war as a Maester is in history. When Robert Baratheon rebelled, it was a force of Reachmen under Tarly's command that handed the young stag his only defeat. Now, as then, he has continued to follow in House Tyrell's footsteps wherever their loyalties turn. However, none can say how long that will last, as Mace continues to accrue accolades and, some would argue, positions that should have gone instead to the Lord of Horn Hill.

The Blackfish is a knight of renown throughout Westeros. Though his long hair is no longer of auburn, but has gone grey, and his face is craggy and weathered, he nonetheless maintains both the reputation and the physical bearing of a skilled warrior. He is not a knight gifted martial prowess like some however, his skill in both personal combat and in orchestrating battle has been hard-earned in the many conflicts he has taken part in. He is known to be a thoughtful and patient man, willing to listen to others, however he also does not particularly care what they think, which has earned him the ire of some, including his own brother at one point. It is for this reason that he dubbed himself the Blackfish, and spent many years living away from Riverrun as the Vale's Knight of the Gate.

Brynden fought alongside the rebels in Robert's Rebellion, earning fame and prestige for his contributions. When Robb Stark rose in rebellion to the Throne, he once again sided with a rebel, resigning his post at the Bloody Gate and making for Riverrun to join up with his grand-nephew. Though a capable knight, he showed his true skill as the master of Robb's scouts, his men providing the information that the Northmen sneeded to secure victory at the Battles of the Whispering Wood and the Camps, where he led the van, and then to lay the plans which were foiled by the Battle of the Fords. After the Red Wedding, the Blackfish continued to hold Riverrun in Robb's name, unshaken by daily threats of his nephew Edmure's hanging, until finally Edmure was sent to surrender the castle with the promise that the defenders be allowed to take the black. Instead, Edmure allowed Brynden, a strong swimmer, to slip through the partially opened portcullis. He has since fled Riverrun and aligned himself with the Brotherhood Without Banners, who still fight against outlaws in the Riverlands, though some now feel they are little more than outlaws themselves.

Victarion Greyjoy is as strong as an Ox, and almost as clever. In addition to being a force on the battlefield armed with his favorite axe, he is known to have beaten four men (and his third wife) to death with his bare hands. Despite being neither a great scholar nor a great speaker, he commands the loyalty of the men he leads with the respect born of success. Though the bulky, bearded warrior is thought of as a dullard, if you encountered him on the high seas you would not know it, as he is as capable a commander of warships as just about any man in Westeros. Under his command the Iron Fleet has flourished, save for one defeat at the hands of Stannis Baratheon during Greyjoys Rebellion. Recognizing and admiring the greatness of his Brother Balon, Victarion followed him loyally until his death, and his sense of loyalty has now led him to follow the Euron as well, though the blaspheming of Crow's Eye does not sit well with Victarion or their younger brother Aeron, nor has Victarion forgiven his older brother for the death of his third wife. However, Euron has promised Victarion lordship over the Iron Isles once he has taken the crown of Westeros, and combined with his loyal nature that is enough, for now. In some ways, his loyalty may also be of necessity, for while he can lead men to victory in an isolated combat, when it comes to the grand scheme of things he is often best when following someone else's plan.

Victarion's heritage is unmistakable when he strides into battle. From the Kraken that adorns his helm to the shaped golden cloak that forms a Kraken's arms down his back, his family is writ large across everything. Though less adept on land than he is at sea, Victarion can still handle command of a force of men, and his own personal prowess is never in question. Having recently been passed over by the Kingsmoot in favor of his older brother Euron, he leads the Iron Fleet far to the East, with the great Valyrian Steel horn Dragonbinder on board. His final destination lies in the lands of Essos, where he hopes to find a Dragon Queen and her brood, to sweep Westeros clean of all of the impure, Andal and First Men alike.
