Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Ser Wylis commands the men from White Harbor when Robb Stark calls his banners, as his father, Lord Wyman Manderly, is too fat to ride a horse any longer and remains to look after the city's defenses. The force, consisting of 1,500 men with above 20 knights, 200 mounted riders, swordsmen and freeriders and the rest foot, rides from White Harbor to Moat Cailin, where Robb is gathering his troops before marching south. Ser Wylis is accompanied, apart from his younger brother, Wendel, by Lady Catelyn Stark, Ser Rodrik Cassel and Ser Brynden Tully, who all arrived by ship in White Harbor coming from the Vale of Arryn. Although she thinks that Ser Wylis is probably the fattest man she has ever seen, apart from his father, so that she pitties his horse, and that he wears only clothes that have food stains, Lady Catelyn likes him well enough. When they arrive near Moat Cailin, Ser Wylis remains in the camp while his brother Wendel rides on with Lady Catelyn to the castle to greet Robb.[1]

The northern host marches south and arrives at the Twins, where they are greeted by Ser Stevron Frey who invites Robb to the Twins in the name of Lord Walder Frey. Robb's lord bannermen, distrusting Lord Walder, advise against Robb putting himself in the hand of the Lord of the Crossing, with Ser Wylis suggesting that Lord Walder should come out of his castle and treat with Robb in plain sight of both men's forces. It is ultimately decided that Lady Catelyn will go to the Twins to talk with Lord Walder.[1]

After an agreement with Lord Walder has been found, the northern army splits and Ser Wylis comes under the command of Lord Roose Bolton, who marches his troops south along the Kingsroad to engage Lord Tywin Lannister's main host at the Trident as a diversion for Robb's attempt to lift the siege of Riverrun. Lord Bolton's forces suffer a defeat against Lord Tywin's in the Battle of the Green Fork, in which Ser Wylis is captured.[1][3]

A Clash of Kings

Lord Tywin Lannister offers to trade Ser Wylis, held captive at Harrenhal, to his father without ransom, if Lord Wyman withdraws his support from Robb Stark. Lord Wyman refuses him. He points this out when he attends the harvest feast at Winterfell and talks with Ser Rodrik Cassel, Maester Luwin and Bran Stark. Lord Wyman also stresses that he wouldn't want to see his son Wylis languishing at a cursed place such as Harrenhal longer than he must and expresses the hope that in time a fair exchange of prisoners can be arranged, also because Ser Wylis wouldn't want to sit out the rest of the war. In this context, Lord Manderly describes his son as gallant and fierce as a mastiff.[4]

In reply to the northern peace terms submitted by Robb Stark via Ser Cleos Frey, Tyrion Lannister offers to trade Ser Wylis and Harrion Karstark for Willem Lannister in an exchange of prisoners.[5]

While waiting for an exchange of prisoners, Ser Wylis takes to haunting the kitchens of Harrenhal, where he is being kept.[6]

A Storm of Swords

He is released when the Northmen capture Harrenhal, but is captured once again in the Battle of the Ruby Ford.[7] In captivity, Ser Wylis keeps asking for food. Eventually, Ser Gregor Clegane gives the order to feed Ser Wylis with "roast goat", meaning with flesh cut from the living Vargo Hoat. Ser Wylis eats most of Vargo's flesh, with other prisoners and Vargo himself also receiving some parts.[2]

A Feast for Crows

The Iron Throne sends a raven to Wyman Manderly stating his son will be returned once he proves his loyalty. After Wyman supposedly executes Davos Seaworth, the Iron Throne agrees to return his heir.

Ser Wylis is released from captivity upon the return of Ser Jaime Lannister to Harrenhal. When he is being told that he will be escorted to Maidenpool and put on a boat to White Harbor, he collapses in tears.[2]

A Dance with Dragons

Ser Wylis arrives back in White Harbour to see his wife and daughters. His father holds a welcoming feast in his son's honor.
