History

During the Dance of the Dragons, Ser Garibald promised to build a sept out of the bones of traitors.[1] He led a group of rivermen in the Battle by the Lakeshore.[1]

When Ser Criston Cole's host of greens was cornered by blacks, Garibald refused the Kingmaker's challenge and Criston was instead slain by arrows fired by Robb Rivers and his archers.[3] Garibald referred to the ensuing slaughter of Criston's men as "butchery, not battle", leading Mushroom to refer to it as the Butcher's Ball.[1]

During the First Battle of Tumbleton, Garibald commanded six thousand blacks who faced the army of Ormund Hightower, Lord of the Hightower. Garibald's men were forced to retreat after a rain of arrows and a cavalry charge, however. When the Two Betrayers began attacking the blacks, Garibald was struck by a crossbow bolt and then burned by the dragonflame of Tessarion.[1]
