Recent Events
A Clash of Kings
Raff the Sweetling is among the Mountain's men who capture Arya Stark, Gendry and Hot Pie near the Gods Eye. Rather than aid Lommy Greenhands, who was wounded at the Gods Eye town, Raff drives his spear through the boy's throat and chuckles to himself.[4]
On the march to Harrenhal, a man-at-arms smashes the face of a three-year-old boy with a spiked mace and Raff kills his screaming mother shortly afterwards.[2] Chiswyck later recalls Raff stabs the son of an alehouse owner when he tells the story about the gang rape at an alehouse.[5] Arya adds Raff to her list of those she wants to kill.[2]
Raff forages with Ser Gregor Clegane, Chiswyck, and the Tickler.[5] He later departs Harrenhal alongside Lord Tywin Lannister as part of Gregor's vanguard, unknowingly putting himself out of Arya's reach to choose him as her next target for Jaqen H'ghar.[6]
Storm of Swords
Raff's atrocities are recalled by Arya, who informs Harwin and the brotherhood without banners while they search for Lord Beric Dondarrion.[7] Raff continues to be included in Arya's list, though as time goes on she struggles to remember his face as well as the other marked members of Gregor's men-at-arms.[8]
A Feast for Crows
When Ser Jaime Lannister pauses at Harrenhal, he sees Raff wearing the chain of coins that once belonged to Vargo Hoat.[1] After Ser Bonifer Hasty refuses to allow the Mountain's men to stay, Jaime brings them with him to Riverrun as part of his force to besiege the castle. Jaime notices two washerwoman playing with Raff and another man-at-arms.[9]
After the siege of Riverrun ends, Jaime orders Raff to escort Ser Robin Ryger and Ser Desmond Grell to Maidenpool for their journey to the Wall.[10]
