[[folder:Ser Archibald Yronwood]]
!!Ser Archibald Yronwood
!!!The Big Man, Ser Greenguts
A nephew of Anders Yronwood and a close friend of Quentyn Martell, who he was raised with. He accompanies Quentyn with several other companions to Essos, seeking [[spoiler:Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons to forge an alliance]].
----
* BaldOfAwesome: Went bald due to a childhood disease.
* TheBigGuy: In role and literally: He is the best physical combatant among Quentyn's companions and is six-and-a-half feet tall with a ton of muscle.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Quentyn, Gerris, and his cousin Cletus.
* DropTheHammer: Uses a warhammer in battle.
* GreenAroundTheGills: Turns a pale green when at sea and often vomits.
* InSeriesNickname: "Big Man" due to being TheBigGuy of Quentyn's group, and they also refer to him as Arch. Also uses Ser Greenguts as an alias when traveling with the Windblown, which is a reference to his seasickness.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Unlike his companions, he impress Ser Barristan Selmy, who even thinks that Archibald has the "true steel" of a worthy knight.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: He is more knightly, stoic, and intelligent than Gerris, who is more outlandish, emotional, and violent.
* OnlySaneMan: When he pipes up, he's often the voice of poor, lost Reason. It's quite the pity the others don't listen as much as they should, really.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Gerris Drinkwater's red, being calmer and much more collected in tense situations.
* SmarterThanYouLook: His size and quiet nature make most of those who encounter him think he is rather slow. Instead, he just keeps to himself unless he feels the need to speak and is much more rational than Quentyn and Gerris. Ser Barristan Selmy realizes this when [[spoiler:Archibald and Gerris are imprisoned after Quentyn's failed attempt to tame one of Daenerys dragons and he tells Barristan that he knows he wouldn't be visiting them if he was going to kill them, so he knows Barristan needs something from them]].
** Combined with HiddenDepths when he gives a surprisingly thoughtful criticism of the very concept of DyingMomentOfAwesome, saying that a knight should focus on living a meaningful life rather than on seeking a meaningful death.
* TrueCompanions: With Quentyn and Gerris.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Quentyn: even when he disagrees with Quentyn's course of action in [[spoiler:trying to steal and tame one of Daenerys' dragons]], Archibald still tries to help him.
