Joss Stilwood is one of the Mountain's men and serves as squire of Ser Gregor Clegane,[1] along with a pimply Sarsfield squire.[2]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Joss squires for Ser Gregor Clegane during the Hand's tourney in King's Landing.[1] When Gregor is unhorsed by Ser Loras Tyrell, he calls for his squire to bring his sword, which the Mountain then uses to kill the horse.[3]
A Clash of Kings
Gregor Clegane executes one of the the girl captives during the march to Harrenhal after she strikes one of his men who would rape her with a rock. Afterwards, Clegane hands his sword to his squire,[4] who may have been Joss Stilwood,[N 1] for cleaning.[4]
According to Chiswyck, an overflowing river detoured the Mountain's men to a nearby alehouse while they were returning from the tourney. Rafford urged Joss to lose his virginity to the brewer's young daughter, Layna. When the brewer objected, Gregor and his men raped the girl. Gregor also stabbed the brewer's son in the belly when he tried to intervene.[1]
A Feast for Crows
Qyburn mentions to Queen Cersei Lannister that he questioned Gregor's squire, who informed him that Gregor constantly suffers from extreme headaches and consumes vast quantities of milk of the poppy to try and dull the pain.[6]
Notes
- ↑ Gregor Clegane has one other known squire, a boy from House Sarsfield. Since Arya does not think of this incident when she encounters the Sarsfield boy at the inn at the crossroads,[5] the squire mentioned here is more likely Joss Stilwood or a third unidentified boy.
