A '''guard at Harrenhal''' in the service of Lord [[Roose Bolton]] is killed by [[Arya Stark]] during her escape from [[Harrenhal]].{{Ref|ACOK|64}} His given name is unknown.

==Appearance and Character==
He is a tall and thin [[northman]] who wears a ragged fur cloak. Under his furs he wears [[steel]] chainmail.{{Ref|ACOK|64}}

When Arya approaches him, he is curious why a [[page]] might be there at so late an hour.{{Ref|ACOK|64}}

==History==
By [[Arya Stark|Arya's]] estimation, [[Dreadfort]] [[House Bolton guards|men]] including the guard had served [[Roose Bolton]] their whole life and knew their lord very well.{{Ref|ACOK|64}}

==Recent Events==
===''A Clash of Kings''===
Th guard is posted at the postern gate near the [[Tower of Ghosts]] when [[Arya Stark]] makes her escape from [[Harrenhal]] with [[Gendry]] and [[Hot Pie]]. Arya claims that [[Lord of the Dreadfort|Lord]] [[Roose Bolton]] sent her to give a [[Silver stag|silver]] piece to all his guards for their service. Arya takes the [[iron]] [[Faceless Men|coin]] given to her by [[Jaqen H'ghar]] and drops it at his feet. When the guard bends to pick it up, she slits his throat with the dagger she stole from [[Lord]] Bolton and whispers "''[[valar morghulis]]''."

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Having escaped the castle, Arya presumes that someone would find the guard's body, sound the alarm, wake Lord Bolton, and they would discover her missing.{{Ref|ASOS|3}}

When she is reunited with [[Harwin]], one of her [[Eddard Stark|father's]] men, Arya tells him about the things that happened to her since escaping [[King's Landing]], but leaves out killing the guard and the [[Stableboy at King's  Landing|stableboy]] because it would be like telling her father.{{Ref|ASOS|17}} She later worries whether her brother [[Robb Stark|Robb]] would want her back if he knew about her killing the guard and stableboy.{{Ref|ASOS|39}}

Arya asks [[Edric Dayne]] if he's ever killed anyone. When he says he hasn't and tells her about his experience in the [[Battle at the Mummer's Ford|battle]] at the [[Mummer's Ford]], Arya thinks about the guard, the stableboy and the men who died because of her "[[Fall of Harrenhal|weasel soup]]."{{Ref|ASOS|43}}

As she approaches Robb's army at the [[Twins]] during the [[Red Wedding]], Arya is uneasy because Roose Bolton is part of the army and might know about her killing the guard and have told her [[Catelyn Stark|mother]].{{Ref|ASOS|50}}

===''A Dance with Dragons''===
After the [[kindly man]] gives her the face of the "ugly little girl," Arya dreams of her dead [[House Stark|family]] and of the people she's killed, including the guard.{{Ref|ADWD|64}}

==Quotes==
===Quotes by the guard===
{{Quote|'''Arya''': [[Lord of the Dreadfort|Lord]] [[Roose Bolton|Bolton]] sent me.<br>'''Guard''': At this hour? Why for?<br>'''Arya''': He told me to give all his guards a [[Silver stag|silver]] piece, for their good service.<br>'''Guard''': Silver, you say? Give it over, then.<br>'''Arya''': ''Valar morghulis''.{{Ref|ACOK|64}}|[[Arya Stark]] and the guard}}

===Quotes about the guard===
{{Quote|Arya told of [[Yoren]] and their escape from [[King's Landing]] as well, and much that had happened since, but she left out the [[Stableboy at King's Landing|stableboy]] she'd stabbed with [[Needle]], and the guard whose throat she'd cut to get out of [[Harrenhal]]. Telling [[Harwin]] would be almost like telling her [[Eddard Stark|father]], and there were some things that she could not bear having her father know.{{Ref|ASOS|17}}|thoughts of [[Arya Stark]]}}

{{Quote|Arya didn't know how much [[Robb Stark|Robb]] would pay for her, though. He was a [[king]] now, not the boy she'd left at [[Winterfell]] with snow melting in his hair. And if he knew the things she'd done, the [[Stableboy at King's Landing|stableboy]] and the guard at [[Harrenhal]] and all&hellip;{{Ref|ASOS|39}}|thoughts of [[Arya Stark]]}}
