Recent Events

A Storm of Swords

While Ser Davos Seaworth is imprisoned in the dungeon beneath Dragonstone, Porridge is one of his gaolers. He brings Davos a bowl of oaten porridge for breakfast, for which Davos gives him his nickname. Davos suspects he feeds the rats in the dungeon. He thinks he hears Porridge talking to the rats as if they were children, but may have only dreamed that.[2]

Quotes

Porridge at least seemed to know he was alive, and there was a queer sort of kindness to the man.[2]
