- Paxter Redwyne, Lord of the Arbor and member of the small council. During the War of the Usurper, Paxter kept his loyalty to House Targaryen, besieging Storm's End for nearly a year. After the death of King Aerys II, he surrendered his forces to troops loyal to King Robert.

[edit] Ser Ryam Redwyne
Ser Ryam Redwyne is regarded as one of the greatest knights in the history of Westeros. He was member and Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. He became also Hand of the King but was not a success. His faillure as Hand is an example of how great men do not always make great Hands.
