Ser Arryk Cargyll was a knight from House Cargyll. He and his twin brother, Ser Erryk Cargyll, were members of the Kingsguard during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen.[2]

Appearance

Arryk and his twin brother, Ser Erryk, were physically identical, even their fellow Kingsguards could not differenciate them.[3]

History

Ser Arryk and Ser Erryk Cargyll were both unhorsed by Ser Criston Cole at the tourney for King Viserys I's accession at Maidenpool in 105 AC.[4]

According to Septon Eustace, Arryk found Prince Daemon and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in bed together, a few months after the tourney to celebrate King Viserys's and Queen Alicent's fifth anniversary in 111 AC. Court fool Mushroom claims that Daemon was instructing Rhaenyra so she could better seduce Criston. This led to Viserys exiling Daemon from the Seven Kingdoms.[5]

After the death of Viserys, Arryk sided with King Aegon II Targaryen and the greens. After the coronation of Aegon in the Dragonpit, Arryk led the king into the throne room of the Red Keep. His twin Erryk, however, aligned himself with Queen Rhaenyra and the blacks. Arryk and Ser Gwayne Hightower were in the retinue of Grand Maester Orwyle when he traveled from King's Landing to Dragonstone in an unsuccessful attempt to reconcile the rival Targaryens.[2]

Arryk's Lord Commander, Ser Criston, ordered him to infiltrate Dragonstone as Erryk, although it is disputed whether his mission was to kill Rhaenyra or her children. The twins came upon each other in one of the hallways of the castle's citadel and fought to the death. According to songs, the brothers professed their love and died in one another's arms after fighting for an hour. Mushroom claims they called each other traitor and were both mortally wounded within moments.[6][1]

Behind the Scenes

Arryk and Erryk Cargyll are inspired by two brothers from Arthurian legend, Balin and Balan.[7]
