After the parley between the brothers Renly and Stannis Baratheon during the siege of Storm's End, Guyard asks for command of the vanguard in the imminent battle between the two forces, but he is passed over in favor of Ser Loras Tyrell, the Lord Commander of the Rainbow Guard.[7] When Renly is murdered within his tent before the battle, Guyard is not present.[8]

After Renly's death, Guyard goes over to Stannis. He is present beneath the walls of Storm's End for the parley with Ser Cortnay Penrose.

Quotes by Guyard

Jon: Your Grace, I beg the honor.

Guyard: Beg all you like, by rights it should be one of the seven who strikes the first blow.

Randyll: It takes more than a pretty cloak to charge a shield wall. I was leading Mace Tyrell's van when you were still sucking on your mother's teat, Guyard.[7]

Guyard the Green, yes? Of the Rainbow Guard? Sworn to give his own life for his king's? If I had such a cloak, I would be ashamed to wear it.[6]
