Books

This unnamed squire from House Sarsfield[1] was with other Mountain's men when Sandor Clegane and Arya Stark came to the Inn at the Crossroads in 300 AC. He was killed by Arya in the fight that ensued.[2]

Appearance and Character

By his age and dress, he looked like a squire. He was brown-haired and chunky in build. He had a big white pimple on one side of his nose, and some red ones on his forehead. He was a virgin who had come to the Inn for the whores there. He could not hold his alcohol, attempted to mock the Hound, and would not stay silent until the Tickler tormented him.[2]

A Storm of Swords

In 300 AC, Sandor Clegane and Arya Stark visit the Inn at the Crossroads for wine and information. When they arrive, three of Gregor Clegane's men are already there - Polliver, the Tickler, and the pimply squire. The squire tries to bait Sandor with insults about fleeing King's Landing in the Battle of the Blackwater. Sandor warns the innkeeper that Polliver and the Tickler will kill him instead of paying for their drinks, and the innkeeper and the other people in the room leave.

The Tickler tells Sandor what has happened in the realm, and says Gregor would prefer that Sandor come back with them to Harrenhal. When Sandor refuses, the Tickler throws a knife at him. Sandor, the Tickler and Polliver all draw swords and begin to fight. The squire tries to join in, but Arya throws a wine cup at him and knocks him down.

During the fight, the squire tries to attack Arya, and she stabs him in the belly with his own knife. After the fight is over, the squire is still alive but mortally wounded. He cries and begs for mercy, asks to be taken to a maester, and says his father has gold. Sandor says he will be a long time dying, tells Arya to give him mercy, and asks if she remembers where the heart is. She takes Needle, which she had recovered from Polliver, and kills the squire.[2]

A Feast for Crows

Arya remembers how the pimply squire had cried after he was stabbed.[3]

The Mountain's men at Harrenhal tell Jaime Lannister that Sandor Clegane and "a ragged peasant lad" had killed Polliver, the Tickler, and "that Sarsfield boy" at the crossroads inn.[1]

A Dance with Dragons

After Arya receives a new face from the Faceless Men, she dreams of the people she has killed, including "the pimply squire from the crossroads inn".[4]

Quotes

Is this the lost puppy Ser Gregor spoke of? The one who piddled in the rushes and ran off? Ser said his puppy brother tucked his tail between his legs when the battle got too warm at King’s Landing. He said he ran off whimpering.

——the Sarsfield squire[2]

Are you the puppy’s puppy?


—the Sarsfield squire, to Arya Stark[2]

The squire: Mercy, please. Don’t kill me. Mother have mercy.
Sandor: Do I look like your bloody mother?”

——the Sarsfield squire and Sandor Clegane[2]
