Marq Piper is a knight from House Piper. He is the heir of Clement Piper, Lord of Pinkmaiden Castle.[2]
Appearance and Character
[edit]Ser Marq is short and "runty", according to Ser Daven Lannister.[3] A swaggering and overly confident young knight, Lord Eddard Stark and Lady Catelyn Stark consider Marq to be hot-headed and brash.[4][5]
Marq is good friends with Ser Edmure Tully.[4]
History
[edit]Ser Daven Lannister once beat the elder brother of Lewys Piper, presumably Marq, in a mêlée.[3]
Recent Events
[edit]A Game of Thrones
[edit]Ser Edmure Tully commands Lord Clement Piper and Lord Vance to guard the pass below the Golden Tooth when the Lannisters start to mass troops there;[6] the lords are attended by their eldest sons and heirs, Ser Marq and Ser Karyl Vance. While away from their own domains, their lands are raided by Ser Gregor Clegane.[4]
In response, Hoster Tully, Lord Paramount of the Trident, sends Ser Marq, Ser Karyl, and Ser Raymun Darry to King's Landing with the survivors of the raided village Sherrer to ask the permission of King Robert I Baratheon to destroy the westermen who are raiding the riverlands. Marq swears that the leader of the raiders is Ser Gregor himself, violating the king's peace and requesting the crown's permission to exact revenge against Clegane. Desiring justice over vengeance, Eddard Stark, Hand of the King, sends Raymun with Beric Dondarrion, Lord of Blackhaven, to execute Clegane.[4]
After their fathers are defeated by Ser Jaime Lannister in the battle in the hills below the Golden Tooth, Marq and Ser Karyl Vance begin launching raids across the Red Fork of the Trident into the westerlands.[7] Their approximately fifty men attack Lannister supply lines, hampering Jaime's siege of Riverrun.[8]
Marq and Karyl continue raiding until Robb Stark arrives and breaks the siege with the battle in the Whispering Wood and the Battle of the Camps. The loss of the Lannister outriders was thought to be due to Marq, and so it was not realized that the host lead by Robb was approaching Riverrun.[8]
Afterward, Marq sits at Robb's war council at Riverrun, where he calls for a march against Casterly Rock and also for allying with Renly Baratheon. Robb is instead proclaimed King in the North by the northmen and rivermen assembled at Riverrun.[5]
A Clash of Kings
[edit]
At the insistence of Edmure, Robb gives the river lords leave to return to their lands to defend their domains or restore their damaged seats. Marq is among the first to leave Riverrun with his men to defend his burned lands, where he wins a few small victories against the Lannisters.[9]
Marq leads House Piper during the Battle of the Fords.[10]
A Storm of Swords
[edit]With his father Hoster dying and his sister Catelyn under house arrest, Edmure spends much of his time with his friends, Marq and Patrek Mallister.[11]
Marq is one of the seven nobles who launch Hoster's funeral boat at Riverrun.[12]
During Edmure's journey to the Twins for his wedding to Roslin Frey, he rides with Marq, Patrek, Lymond Goodbrook, and young Vances.[13] Marq's retinue from House Piper includes at least five kinsmen who are knights, and twenty men-at-arms.[14]
Marq is among Robb's nobles who eat the food and drink of Walder Frey, Lord of the Crossing, upon arrival at the Twins, granting them guest right.[15] During the wedding feast, Marq plays a drinking game with Ser Danwell Frey and jests with Alyx Frey. He joins the group which takes Roslin from the hall, and Catelyn Stark observes him removing the shoe of Edmure's bride as part of the bedding custom.[16] The Starks and Tullys are betrayed by Houses Frey and Bolton, however, and Robb is killed by Roose Bolton, Lord of the Dreadfort.[16]
Traveling through the riverlands, Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane encounter a Piper bowman sworn to Marq. The bowman was deathly wounded by a Bolton during the Red Wedding, and is given the gift of mercy by the Hound.[17]
A Feast for Crows
[edit]Marq is held by the Freys as a hostage at the Twins after the Red Wedding, to the consternation of his father, Lord Clement Piper, who believes that his bending his knee to the Iron Throne will lead to his son being returned. That does not happen, which enrages Clement, leading him to threaten Edwyn Frey at the war council during the siege of Riverrun.[14]
After Riverrun surrenders, Jaime Lannister informs Edwyn that King Tommen I Baratheon requires all captives taken during the Red Wedding, which displeases the Freys.[18]
A Dance with Dragons
[edit]Marq remains a captive.[2]

Quotes by Marq
[edit]Raymun: By the time I could return to my own lands, Clegane and his vermin were back across the Red Fork, riding for Lannister's hills.
Petyr: And if they come again, ser?
Marq: If they come again, we'll use their blood to water the fields they burnt.[4]
—Raymun Darry, Petyr Baelish, and Marq
Marq: Do we have your leave to take our vengeance against Ser Gregor, then?
Eddard: Vengeance? I thought we were speaking of justice.[4]—Marq and Eddard Stark
Alyx: I hear Tully men have trout between their legs instead of cocks. Does it take a worm to make them rise?
Marq: I hear that Frey women have two gates in place of one!
Alyx: Aye, but both are closed and barred to little things like you![16]
—Alyx Frey and Marq
Quotes about Marq
[edit]He was a swaggering bantam rooster of a youth, too young and too hot-blooded for Ned's taste, though a fast friend of Catelyn's brother, Edmure Tully.[4]
—thoughts of Eddard Stark
Tywin: Marq Piper and Karyl Vance are loose in our rear, raiding our lands across the Red Fork.
Tyrion: The gall of them, fighting back.[7]
Clement: Where is Marq, answer me that? What have you done with my son? He was a guest at your bloody wedding.
Edwyn: And our honored guest he shall remain, until you prove your loyalty to His Grace, King Tommen.[14]—Clement Piper and Edwyn Frey
