===''A Game of Thrones''===
When Lord [[Eddard Stark]] investigates the death of Lord [[Jon Arryn]], his predecessor as [[Hand of the King]], Eddard meets several people who had met with Jon shortly before his death, including Master [[Tobho Mott]] and his apprentice, Gendry. At once Lord Stark sees the similarity with King [[Robert I Baratheon]] and recognizes that Gendry is his [[bastard]]. The promising Gendry has made a helmet in the shape of a [[bull]]. Eddard compliments the helmet, offering to purchase it, but Gendry refuses, to the shame of Tobho. Eddard tells the master smith that if Gendry ever shows interest in wielding a sword, he should send him to Eddard.{{Ref|AGOT|27}}

Tobho gives Gendry a piece of metal so he can make his first sword.{{Ref|ASOS|22}} Before the youth can do so, however, arrangements are made by Lord [[Varys]] for [[Yoren]] of the [[Night's Watch]] to take Gendry to the [[Wall]] with him, to protect him from Cersei.{{Ref|ACOK|8}} Gendry travels north with Yoren and thirty other recruits, including a disguised [[Arya Stark]], [[Lommy Greenhands]], [[Hot Pie]], [[Jaqen H'ghar]], [[Rorge]], [[Biter]], and others.{{Ref|ACOK|1}} After [[Praed]] passes away, his longsword of cheap steel is given to Gendry by Yoren.{{Ref|ACOK|5}}

Yoren is slain, however, and Gendry is one of the few to escape.{{Ref|ACOK|14}}

Gendry advises the survivors to avoid roads. Whilst on reconnaissance with Arya, Gendry confronts her about being a girl.
