Harry Strickland, also known as Homeless Harry Strickland, is a captain-general of the Golden Company and an exiled knight from House Strickland.^[2]

In the television adaptation Game of Thrones, Harry is portrayed by Marc Rissmann.

Appearance and Character

Harry is portly, with a big round head, mild grey eyes, and thinning grey hair that he brushes sideways to cover up a bald spot. He likes elephants.^[2]

Harry likes to boast "gold for four generations". He complains often of blisters on his feet from long marches, and is not the bravest of men.^[2]

History

Harry's great-grandsire lost his lands when he rose in the First Blackfyre Rebellion with Daemon I Blackfyre. Harry was born in exile and raised with the Golden Company, as was his father and his grandfather. After the death of the previous commander, Ser Myles Toyne, Harry was made the new captain-general, and Gorys Edoryen replaced Harry as paymaster.^[2] Ser Rolly Duckfield was once Harry's squire,^[1] and his current squire is Watkyn.^[2]

Quotes about Harry

Homeless Harry looked little like a warrior.^[2]
—thoughts of Jon Connington

—thoughts of Jon Connington

Harry's an old maid, isn't he?^[4]
—Aegon Targaryen to Jon Connington
