Ser Lucamore Strong, aka Lucamore the Lusty

Former Kingsguard who had a bit of a reputation for liking the ladies. King Jaeherys relieved him of his duties and his, erm, crown jewels, and sent him to the Wall, where he'd have frozen his proverbials off, if he'd had any.

Myrcella Baratheon - Middle child of Cersei and Jaime, sent to Dorne in a marriage pact by her uncle Tyrion, lost an ear and god knows what else at the hand of Ser Gerold Dayne, a.k.a. "Darkstar" during the foiled plot of Arianne to crown Myrcella as rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

Reek

Reek, Reek it rhymes with Weak.

 

[The Imp]

I have to jump on the opportunity for a double

Sansa Stark oldest daughter of Eddard and Catelyn. Indirectly responsible for her father's beheading. Currently living under the assumed idenity of Alayne Stone, posing as Littlefinger's ******* daughter.

 

[Boaz]

Tansy. This was one of the few words Hoster Tully spoke to Catelyn as his health rapidly declined. At first she thought it might refer to a pet nickname for Lysa... Tansy Tully. Or a former lover of Hoster. Then she postulated that it was a key ingredient for induced abortions... Petyr, Lysa, Jon Arryn.

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

Unsullied

Eunuch slave soldiers trained in Astapor. They follow any order without question. Dany tricked the slave masters into giving her all the Unsullied for a dragon and her ships with all their goods. She then tells them "A dragon is no slave" and unleases them on the slave masters.

 

[Culhwch]

Valyrian steel

A type of magical steel forged in Old Valyria, the knowledge of the making of which is now lost. Keeps a good edge.

 

[Boaz]

Willis Wode. Double!!! But I don't remember who he is. I'll post this and go look him up at the Tower.

Edit: Ser Willis Wode happened to be at the inn when Catelyn arrested Tyrion. He joined Catelyn, but was seriously wounded on the High Road. He made it to the Vale where he seemingly recupperated in time to witness Ser Vardis die.

Xondo-

A mate on board the Cinnamon Wind. He is from the Summer Islands.

We'll leave it for you. You seem to be familiar with words beginning in X.

Yollo. The pseudonym Ser Rolly Duckfield uses for Tyrion in ADWD.

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

Well, I had to look this one up since I couldn't come up with a Z on my own.

[Boaz]

Arakh. The curved blade of the Dothraki.

 

[Lady of Winterfell]

Arakh. The curved blade of the Dothraki.

Ummm....that's what we started the thread with. I think there are still enough things starting with A that we don't need to repeat just yet.

 

[Culhwch]

How about Addam Marbrand?

Sworn to Lannister, a capable soldier, and if I remember correctly a much more agreeable sort than most of Tywin's bannermen.
