Appearance and Character

See also: Images of Lyn Corbray

Lyn is a thin man.[2] He is handsome, but vain, reckless and hot-tempered.[3] He has shoulder-length brown hair.[4] Lyn is often short of money.[5] It is said that Lyn is notoriously uninterested in women.[3][5] According to Petyr Baelish, Lyn likes "boys".[4]

History

Ser Lyn won his knighthood fighting for House Targaryen with Marq Grafton against Lord Jon Arryn at the gates of Gulltown during the opening sequences of Robert's Rebellion. He was pardoned and joined Lord Jon against the Targaryens.[4]

At the battle of the Trident, Ser Lyn's father Lord Corbray was badly wounded. In the confusion Lyn took up the family's Valyrian steel longsword, Lady Forlorn, and distinguished himself by leading an assault on the Dornish lines. He personally finished off a wounded Prince Lewyn Martell of the Kingsguard.[4]

Honoring Lyn's achievements on the battlefield, his father bequeathed him Lady Forlorn upon his death. His elder brother Lyonel Corbray inherited the rest of the family estate and titles, but still resented the loss of the family blade.[4]

Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Ser Lyn is one of Lady Lysa Arryn's suitors, after the death of Lord Jon Arryn. His squire is Mychel Redfort. He attends the trial of Tyrion Lannister at the Eyrie. He offers himself as champion of the Vale when Tyrion demands a trial by combat, but is rebuffed by Lysa.[2]

Following Bronn's victory in the trial,[3] Lyn escorts Tyrion and Bronn to the Bloody Gate, where he commands them never to return to the Vale.[6]

A Feast for Crows

Ser Lyn accompanies the Lords Declarant to the parley with Lords Petyr Baelish and Robert Arryn at the Eyrie. Lord Nestor Royce claims that Lyn rarely left the side of Lysa for nearly half a year. During the parley, Ser Lyn grows tired of the conversation and threatens Petyr with his sword, Lady Forlorn, violating the laws of hospitality. Ser Lothor Brune moves to intercept, but it is the intervention of the other Lords Declarant that causes Lyn to put up his sword. Lyn leaves the parley shortly thereafter.[4]

Later, Petyr admits to Sansa Stark that Lyn is in his employ, and it is his task to feign hatred for Petyr and to join every conspiracy against him and inform on them. Petyr states that Lyn's price is gold and boys.[4]

Behind the Scenes

While it is mentioned that Lyn likes "boys",[4] the age of these boys is unclear. As such, it is unclear if this is meant to imply that he is a pedophile. When asked about this, Elio Garcia agreed that the currently available information is too little to tell one way or the other, and agreed that "[Lyn being a pedophile] an assumption without proof, so at least should be qualified".[8]
