-->''"Dunk the lunk. Thick as
a household castle wall"''

A seven-foot-tall hedge
knight in service to House Velaryon at High Tide.who lived many years before the events of ''A Game of Thrones'', eventually becoming Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. Ser Duncan is the POV character of the ''Literature/TalesOfDunkAndEgg''.



* AmbiguouslyGay: Qarl was rumored to have been a lover of Laenor Velaryon.
* KarmaHoudini: He was never caught.
* ReplacementGoldfish: For Laenor's former (dead) favorite Joffrey Lonmouth.
* ShroudedInMyth: Now one knows why he killed Laenor. Mushroom believes Daemon Targaryen paid him.

to:

* AmbiguouslyGay: Qarl was rumored {{Adorkable}}: He's incredibly awkward with women, as shown by his interactions with Tanselle Too-Tall and Rohanne Webber.
* BrainsAndBrawn: His relationship with Egg (Dunk being the brawn and Egg the brains).
* CatchPhrase: Threatening
to have been give Egg a lover clout on the ear.
* CharacterShield: Whatever GRRM has in store for Duncan in his ''Tales
of Laenor Velaryon.
Dunk and Egg'' we already know he'll survive to become Lord Commander of the Kingsguard... and eventually die along with Aegon V at the Tragedy at Summerhall.
* KarmaHoudini: CelibateHero: Less by choice and more by circumstance. Most noble ladies would never deem to lower themselves to being with a Hedge Knight. As a Kingsguard, he is sworn to celibacy. WordOfGod states that he ''did'' leave descendants and at least one of them has appeared in the book series already, [[http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/US_Signing_Tour_Dayton_OH/ claiming he'd given "a pretty strong hint" as to who it was.]]
* CombatPragmatist: During his [[TrialByCombat trial of seven]] against Prince Aerion he realizes that in a tourney "Ser Duncan the Tall" wouldn't stand a chance. In fact his skills with a lance and sword nearly get him killed. But it's the Prince who doesn't stand a chance against Dunk when things degrade into a brawl. "Dunk of Flea Bottom", a man who'd spent his childhood fighting just to survive another day, unceremoniously hands Aerion his ass.
* {{Determinator}}: When Dunk gets a bee in his bonnet, he doesn't stop doing what he's doing for ''anything'' short of major catastrophe. And, even then, it's iffy. Egg occasionally wishes to strangle him for this trait thanks to being rather more pragmatic with aspects of his morality (not that Egg is always one to talk about being bull-headed).
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Applies to ''The Sworn Sword'' but also his later life.
* DumbIsGood: Duncan is not actually dumb. He is, however, completely [[BookDumb uneducated and a simple sort]] to the majority of those around him (mostly educated nobles). He's also one of the most moral characters in the series. He's a FishOutOfWater most of the time. But, because of that, he can trip even the most sophisticated ManipulativeBastard up with his rather different moral perspective.
* TheFool: In his three stories (at the time of this writing), he somewhat stumbles into important events and thanks to good luck comes out successful (at least by Martin standards).
* ForegoneConclusion: Duncan eventually becomes Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and one of the most legendary knights of the realm. He also [[DoomedByCanon dies tragically]] during an attempt to hatch dragons.
* GentleGiant:
He was never caught.
quite a vicious little shit as a child, but serving as a squire to Arlan of Pennytree curbed his nasty side.
* ReplacementGoldfish: For Laenor's former (dead) favorite Joffrey Lonmouth.
* ShroudedInMyth: Now one knows why
HealingFactor: Downplayed. He's definitely not Wolverine, because he killed Laenor. Mushroom can take days or weeks to recover from major beatdowns, and collects scars as he goes. Yet, at the same time, he has this habit of bouncing back from things that'd easily permanently cripple most ordinary Joes. And, he lasts until Summerhall with this... quirk. Nobody is ever likely to pull a GoodThingYouCanHeal on him, but it's not escaped some.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: His adventures in ''Literature/TalesOfDunkAndEgg''
* HonorBeforeReason: Several instances have Dunk putting himself in harm's way because he
believes Daemon it's the right thing to do. A notable example is when he came to the rescue of a puppeteer woman being assaulted by Prince Aerion Targaryen, breaking one of his teeth in the process. Whilst it was his duty as a knight, this action is essentially suicidal. At best he'd lose the hand that struck royalty (and a foot since he kicked him too) and at worst simply be executed. Fortunately Egg is able to help save him from this fate. It also helps that that the prince he struck wasn't particularly loved by the rest of the royal family.
* HumbleHero: Very much. Dunk actively ducks praise, given the chance to. Or, just won't believe he got it when he does.
* KnightErrant: Hedge knight: roads, hedges, trees, ditches... and taverns (when/if he can afford them) are his ''thing'' -- particularly at the start of his career. Good deeds done and damsels rescued? Occasionally happened, yes. But, not entirely thanks to going out to do any of it (and, often by total accident and against his better judgement and sense of self-preservation).
* KnightInShiningArmor: One of the few in the series (although they were a bit more common in his era as opposed to the novels set in "the present").
* LargeAndInCharge: He was around seven feet tall and eventually became Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.
* MadeOfIron: Oh, he can (and does) get seriously hurt. But, he continually makes his opponents reconsider the wisdom in fighting him simply by how long he can keep going with obvious, multiple injuries that'd have them curling into balls if their roles were reversed.
* NeverLearnedToRead: Unsurprising, given his background.
* OddFriendship: The Hedge Knight originally from Flea Bottom and the
Targaryen paid him.Princeling -- you can't really get an odder relationship. They might occasionally exasperate each other to the point of steam jutting out of various ears (particularly Dunk's), but they really do rub along and compliment each other's strengths and weaknesses. As Egg points out, they ''are'' both from King's Landing... In the rest of the Kingdom, that's actually something in ''common''.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Interesting variation. Egg assumes that Dunk is short for Duncan but Dunk himself considers this and notes that he's been called Dunk for so long he's not sure if it was a shorter version of an older, more elegant name. Nonetheless he decides to style himself "Ser Duncan the Tall" when he enters his name in the Ashford Tourney and the rest is history.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: His sobriquet is seen as humorous in one story because it comes across as one of these. Typically, knights have sobriquets that indicate a personal quality (i.e. Barristan the Bold, Garlan the Gallant), and so Dunk's chosen one implies that his height is the most notable thing about him.
* PosthumousCharacter: In ''A Song of Ice and Fire''.
* SelfProclaimedKnight: While he had the virtues a knight is supposed to have, ironically (appropriately?), Dunk is heavily implied to have never been knighted by the knight he squired for, a fact indicated by the fact that Dunk acts nervous or uses double talk whenever the issue of his knighthood comes up.
* TogetherInDeath: In a platonic version of the trope, he and King Aegon V (a.k.a. his former squire "Egg") perish together in the Tragedy at Summerhall.
* TookALevelInBadass: Goes from the bumbling brute we know in ''The Hedge Knight'' who has to resort to a good old fashion beatdown to win to the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard who personally kills the Blackfyre pretender Daemon III and defeats the goddamn Laughing Storm in single combat
* WhatTheHellHero: He tries this on Ser Eustace Osgrey during ''The Sworn Sword'' [[spoiler: after he finds out he's a traitor.]] Dunk gets an earful [[spoiler: about the transitory nature of treason.]]
* WorkingClassHero: One of the straighter examples of this trope in this series. He was a street kid at Flea Bottom who became a hedge knight and eventually rose to the become Lord Commander of Aegon V's Kingsguard.
* WrongGenreSavvy: A rather heartwarming example. Ser Duncan is surprised so many people showed up to watch him die at Prince Aerion's hands during the trial of seven. Thinking himself an upstart that the mob wants to see get his just desserts, he soon discovers to his shock that the crowds have come to cheer him on. He's actually the heroic underdog. When he asks why ("What am I to them?") he's informed that he's ''[[KnightInShiningArmor a knight who remembered his vows]].''

* TheConWithinACon: Invoked. Ned Stark suspects foul play when it's pointed out to him that Jon Arryn's squire was knighted upon the lord's death, so he intends to interrogate the young knight. Ser Hugh is surreptitiously killed by Gregor Clegane at the Hand's Tourney, making Ned suspect that the Lannisters killed him to keep him quiet. Later, Tyrion learns upon interrogating Pycelle that Ser Hugh might have slipped the poison to Lord Jon. [[spoiler:It's finally revealed that Lysa Arryn poisoned her husband Lord Jon, opening the question as to whether Ser Hugh was indeed killed intentionally or Clegane just felt like killing him that day]].
* DueToTheDead: Ser Barristan Selmy decides to stand vigil over Hugh's body after his death because there is nobody else in King's Landing to do so.
* {{Knighting}}: He was knighted by King Robert in Jon Arryn's memory.
* PromotedToScapegoat: He wasn't knighted because of his merits, rather than just paying tribute to his late lord, apparently. This, and the fact that he did not accompany Lady Arryn back to the Eyrie makes Ned Stark suspect that he was knighted because of some foul play by the Lannisters involving the untimely death of Jon Arryn; Tyrion, Pycelle and Varys also subscribe to this idea.
* RedHerring: Varys suggestion that Hugh could have had something to do with Jon's poisoning is false. [[spoiler:It was all Lysa Arryn at the behest of Littlefinger]]. Hugh could still have been ordered killed by Cersei due to her worry over Jon's knowledge of her and Jaime's incest, but his death could also have been simple bad luck at facing [[TheDreaded Ser Gregor]].
* SmallNameBigEgo: Seems to think that being a newly-made knight makes him more important than the guard captain of the Hand of the King.
** It also killed him: his shiny, new armour to go with his shiny new knighthood meant he didn't stop to think twice about heading towards the lists when his opponent was the vastly more experienced Gregor Clegane. The smarter noob move would have been to eat crow and suffer an "asthma attack", "cholicy horse" or something when spotting who he was up against.
* TheSquire: Served as Jon's squire for several years, making him privy to much information about the realm and Jon's personal life. Ned thinks that Hugh was killed to prevent him from questioning the knight about what Jon was investigating before he died.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He is talked about a bit before being first seen jousting Ser Gregor, which did not go well for him.

!!Ser Creighton Longbough
-->''"I have the honour to be Ser Creighton, of whom the singers sing … you will have heard of my deeds on the Blackwater, mayhaps."''

A hedge knight who travels with Ser Illifer the Penniless. He encounters Brienne of Tarth during her search for Sansa Stark. His coat of arms is a green field with a brown chief.
----
* KnightErrant: It's not much of a pension plan, but it's the result of years being in the game and the vagaries of life.
* MilesGloriosus: He is quite happy to tell you about how he slew Ser Herbert Bolling and fought valiantly against the "Knight of the Red Chicken" at the Battle of the Blackwater, but never provides actual proof of his deeds.
* NiceGuy: Despite his boasting, he is a rather pleasant individual.
* SmallNameBigEgo: PlayedForLaughs.

[[folder: The Knight of the Laughing Tree]]

The Knight of the Laughing Tree was a mystery knight who fought at the Tourney at Harrenhal. He defended the honor of Howland Reed by challenging and defeating three knights whose squires had bullied him, demanding that they chastise the squires in order to ransom back their horses and armor.

The Knight of the Laughing Tree is so-called because of the blazon on his shield, a smiling heart tree. His true identity remains unknown.
----
* BitCharacter: In the greater scheme of things, the Knight's exploit goes unremembered by most Westerosi.

* ButNowIMustGo: Was never seen or heard from again.
* TheFaceless: The Knight's identity had never been revealed.
* GlassSlipper: The knight mysteriously disappears as the king declares him his enemy and sends the Dragon Prince (aka Rhaegar Targaryen) to find him. He could find only his shield. [[spoiler: Though it's possible that the prince covered up his identity and lied...]]
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler: If it really was Lyanna Stark]].
* ShroudedInMyth: Possibly the Knight was Howland Reed or one of the Starks.

!!Ser Uthor Underleaf
!!!The Snail

-->''"I follow tourneys from afar as faithfully as the maesters follow stars."''

Ser Uthor Underleaf, sometimes called the Snail for his personal emblem, was a tourney knight during the reign of Aerys I Targaryen.
----
* AlwaysSecondBest: He exploits this. He preferred not to become a tourney champion, as he did not want to become famous, but was satisfied with the prize granted to the knight who came second.
* AnimalMotif: Like his sigil, the snail, Uthor "hid in his shell", enjoying comfort while keeping a low profile.
* CombatPragmatist: Uthor would bribe the master of the games so that he would face the opponents he preferred -- big men, older champions past their prime, and "village heroes" -- where the odds would be appear to be against him.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite his nature, Uthor is a pro athlete than a warrior or killer. He refuses accept money to kill Dunk more partly because [[spoiler:the money is given by a Blackfyre supporter]].
