Yoren heads south from the [[Wall]] with [[Tyrion Lannister]] en route to [[King's Landing]]. Along the way, Tyrion is arrested by [[Catelyn Stark]] and taken to the [[Vale]] to be put on trial for the attempted murder of [[Bran Stark]].

At a wooden holdfast at the edge of the [[wolfswood]], Yoren joins the party led by [[Benjen Stark]] that is heading north to the [[Wall]], with [[Tyrion Lannister]] and [[Jon Snow]] also coming along. He brings two young rapists from the [[Fingers]] as recruits for the [[Night's Watch]]. Yoren's ragged appearance as well as his charges serve as a rude awakening to Jon, who might have thought that the Watch just consisted of noble men like his uncle Benjen.{{Ref|aGoT|13}}

Yoren arrives at [[Winterfell]] in the company of four black brothers and Tyrion, the latter receiving a cold welcome from [[Robb Stark]]. Yoren is present when Tyrion hands over his plans for building a saddle that can carry the crippled [[Bran Stark]]. As Yoren is senior among the Night's Watch men, he is seated with Robb and Maester [[Luwin]] for dinner that night.

Yoren cuts [[Arya Stark]]'s hair to a stubble with his dagger so she can pass as an orphan boy called "Arry". He intends to bring her with his band of recruits headed for the [[Wall]] and is going to drop her off at [[Winterfell]]. Yoren's band consists of approximately thirty people. In addition, he takes along five wagons laden with supplies as well as two coursers and a couple of donkeys for the boys.{{Ref|aCoK|1}}
 +
 
 +
While heading north on the [[kingsroad]], Yoren stops Arya from beating [[Hot Pie]] with a wooden sword. He strikes her behind with a stick, but gives her [[sourleaf]] for the pain. He shares how Lord [[Eddard Stark]] was supposed to join the [[Night's Watch]] and that something must have gone wrong, arousing Arya's suspicion that King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]] is responsible for her father's death.{{Ref|aCoK|1}}
 +
 
 +
The band is confronted with refugees warning of [[War of the Five Kings|war]] and armed men. [[Praed]] dies, only the fourth recruit Yoren has lost. Yoren remains undisturbed at first, insisting that the Night's Watch takes no part in the wars of the realm and that his band will be safe.{{Ref|aCoK|5}}{{Ref|aCoK|9}}

 +
At an inn on the kingsroad where Yoren protects Arya from revealing her [[north]]ern identity, a group of [[City Watch of King’s Landing|gold cloaks]] present a warrant for [[Gendry]], signed by Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]]. Yoren refuses their demand that the boy be handed over, pointing out that laws protect members of the Night's Watch. Yoren makes the unimpressed gold cloaks retreat, although they announce they will be back. Yoren gives Arya and Gendry the two coursers, advising them to flee as fast as they can if the gold cloaks reappear.{{Ref|aCoK|5}}

 +
Avoiding the kingsroad afterwards, the band marches west- and northwards toward the [[Gods Eye]], which Yoren wants to pass along its western shore. The hostility of the fieldhands at [[Briarwhite]], who take the recruits for possible looters, make Yoren increasingly bitter about disrespect shown to the Night's Watch. Yoren admits to Arya that he might have made a mistake taking orphans away from the safety of the city or, at least, not going by ship to the Wall this time.{{Ref|aCoK|9}}

The band arrives at the eastern side of [[Gods Eye river|the river]] running south from the Gods Eye. Having no means to cross the river with their wagons, Yoren wants to rent a boat in an [[Gods Eye town|unnamed town]] on the southern shore of the Gods Eye and to cross it towards [[Harrentown]], going on from there or finding shelter with Lady [[Shella Whent]] at [[Harrenhal]]. However, when they arrive at the town, it is deserted and no boats can be found.{{Ref|aCoK|14}}
 +
 
 +
While Yoren stays in an abandoned holdfast overnight, a party led by Ser [[Amory Lorch]], part of the Lannister campaign in the riverlands, arrives and torches the town. In the name of King Joffrey, Amory commands Yoren to open the gate. Again pointing out that the Night's Watch takes no part in the war, Yoren refuses, prompting Lorch to order his men to storm the holdfast and kill all inside. They open the attack by thrusting a spear in Yoren's direction but kill [[Woth]] instead. Yoren organizes the defense of the walls, and during the ensuing assault he kills the man with whom he had the first exchange that night. When he realizes that the attackers have won, Yoren tells Arya that she and Gendry should rescue as many boys as possible, directing her towards a tunnel they found earlier.{{Ref|aCoK|14}}
 +
 
 +
Arya and Gendry return to the holdfast the next evening, after the departure of Amory's men, but the rest of Yoren's band has been killed.

They bury him on Arya's insistence, leaving the bodies of the others as they have no time to bury them all.{{Ref|aCoK|19}}

A Clash of Kings

Francis Magee as Yoren in Game of Thrones

Yoren cuts Arya Stark's hair to a stubble with his dagger so she can pass as an orphan boy called "Arry". He intends to bring her with his band of recruits headed for the Wall and is going to drop her off at Winterfell. Yoren's band consists of approximately thirty people. In addition, he takes along five wagons laden with supplies as well as two coursers and a couple of donkeys for the boys.[4]

While heading north on the kingsroad, Yoren stops Arya from beating Hot Pie with a wooden sword. He strikes her behind with a stick, but gives her sourleaf for the pain. He shares how Lord Eddard Stark was supposed to join the Night's Watch and that something must have gone wrong, arousing Arya's suspicion that King Joffrey I Baratheon is responsible for her father's death.[4]

The band is confronted with refugees warning of war and armed men. Praed dies, only the fourth recruit Yoren has lost. Yoren remains undisturbed at first, insisting that the Night's Watch takes no part in the wars of the realm and that his band will be safe.[8][3]

At an inn on the kingsroad where Yoren protects Arya from revealing her northern identity, a group of gold cloaks present a warrant for Gendry, signed by Queen Regent Cersei Lannister. Yoren refuses their demand that the boy be handed over, pointing out that laws protect members of the Night's Watch. Yoren makes the unimpressed gold cloaks retreat, although they announce they will be back. Yoren gives Arya and Gendry the two coursers, advising them to flee as fast as they can if the gold cloaks reappear.[8]

Avoiding the kingsroad afterwards, the band marches west- and northwards toward the Gods Eye, which Yoren wants to pass along its western shore. The hostility of the fieldhands at Briarwhite, who take the recruits for possible looters, make Yoren increasingly bitter about disrespect shown to the Night's Watch. Yoren admits to Arya that he might have made a mistake taking orphans away from the safety of the city or, at least, not going by ship to the Wall this time.[3]

The band arrives at the eastern side of the river running south from the Gods Eye. Having no means to cross the river with their wagons, Yoren wants to rent a boat in an unnamed town on the southern shore of the Gods Eye and to cross it towards Harrentown, going on from there or finding shelter with Lady Shella Whent at Harrenhal. However, when they arrive at the town, it is deserted and no boats can be found.[9]

Back in King's Landing, Tyrion Lannister is told by Bronn that a black brother has arrived from the Wall. Tyrion is disappointed when he learns it is Ser Alliser Thorne instead of Yoren.[11] After the fall of Harrenhal, Amory is fed to a black bear which reminds Arya of Yoren.[12]

Quotes by Yoren

I'm here to find men for the Wall, and when Robert next holds court, I'll bend the knee and cry our need, see if the king and his Hand have some scum in the dungeons they'd be well rid of.[6]

—Yoren to Eddard Stark

That's no law, just a sword. Happens I got one, too.[8]

—Yoren to a gold cloak

I got thirty this time, men and boys all bound for the Wall, and don’t be thinking they're like that bastard brother o' yours. Lord Eddard gave me pick o' the dungeons, and I didn't find no little lordlings down there. This lot, half o' them would turn you over to the queen quick as spit for a pardon and maybe a few silvers. The other half'd do the same, only they'd rape you first.[8]

—Yoren to Arya Stark

Quotes about Yoren

Ser Amory pleaded and sobbed and clung to the legs of his captors, until Rorge pulled him loose, and Shagwell kicked him down into the bear pit. The bear is all in black, Arya thought. Like Yoren.[12]
