Denys Strong is a sellsword in service to the Golden Company. As a serjeant, he is a high-ranking officer.[1]

Appearance

Denys wears his worldly wealth upon his person and a lord's ransom in golden arm rings. Each ring signifies one year's service with the Golden Company.[2]

History

Denys is a Westerosi exile. His surname Strong is of a house that had once loomed large in the histories of the Seven Kingdoms.[2] House Strong once held the infamous castle of Harrenhal until they were extinguished during the Dance of the Dragons.[3][4] He may or may not be of House Strong, as in the free companies a man can call himself whatever he chooses, though not all are genuine.[2] He may be related to another serjeant in the company, Duncan Strong.
