Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Ser Vardis greets Lady Catelyn Stark upon her arrival at the Eyrie.[6] He is present when Tyrion Lannister demands a trial by combat to demonstrate his innocence in the death of Lord Jon Arryn. Vardis is chosen as the champion for House Arryn by Jon's widow, Lady Lysa Arryn. He wields Lord Arryn's silver falcon sword and is dressed in mail. The armor makes him slow and clumsy, however, and Bronn, Tyrion's champion, kills Vardis easily.[2]
