!!This is a listing of members of the Windblown that appear in the {{Fantasy}} series ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. Visit [[Characters/ASongOfIceAndFire here]] for the main character index.

Founded thirty years ago by The Tattered Prince and five fellow sellswords, the Windblown are a fearsome mercenary company. When Quentyn Martell and his companions are crossing Essos, they pose as mercenaries and join the Windblown to reach Meereen, which the Windblown have been hired to help besiege.

!!!Tropes related to The Windblown:
* AlliterativeName: Several of the Windblown sport these: Myrio Myrakis, Lucifer Long, Lewis Lanster, Hugh Hungerford.
* BadassArmy
* FakeDefector: The Tattered Prince has some of his men fake defection to Dany's forces, but gets a surprise when some of his men defect for real, including [[spoiler:Quentyn Martell and his companions]], who had only been masquerading as sellswords to gain entrance to Meereen.
* MusicForCourage: "We are the Windblown. Blow us east to Slaver's Bay, we’ll kill the Butcher King and fuck the Dragon Queen."
* [[OneSteveLimit One Gerrold Limit]]: Besides "Dornish Gerrold" (Gerris Drinkwater's alias), there's a Gerrold Redback and a "Black" Gerrold.

[[folder: The Tattered Prince]]
!!The Tattered Prince

An exiled Pentoshi noble who founded and still commands the Windblown.
----
* AFatherToHisMen
* AffablyEvil: He has the same habit of cutting off body parts of people who displease him that Vargo Holt did, but he actually treats most people pretty well. He even spared the life of the former company paymaster, Hugh Hungerford, after discovering that he was stealing from the unit, and only punished him by cutting off three of his fingers and demoting him to Serjeant. He always removes one foot from deserters though.
* AppropriatedAppellation: It is suggested that his nickname might be a case of this- originally a slur about him being a ruler without a throne; he "reclaimed it" by building his [[CreepySouvenir cloak]].
* BenevolentBoss: Compared to how most mercenary commanders would treat thieves and deserters [[CrapsackWorld in this setting]], he qualifies.
* CreepySouvenir: Has a colorful cloak stitched from bloodstained rags of cloaks of enemies he's defeated.
* TheExile: From Pentos, due to fleeing the city after being elected prince several hours after the last one had been beheaded.
* GenreSavvy: Despite being nominally on the side of the Yunkish, he sends [[FakeDefector Fake Defectors]] to Daenerys to keep himself not only informed but also in case he requires to betray the Yunkish. He also agrees to go along with [[spoiler:Quentyn's dragon-stealing plot, perhaps to get the chance to kill the dragons.]]
* {{Foil}}: Is one to Viserys Targaryean. Both are rulers without a throne and have similar nicknames bestowed upon them ("The Beggar King" vs. "The Tattered Prince"), but the Tattered Prince took a very different, proactive path, in regard to his situation.
* KarmicTrickster: He likes to impose ironically appropriate and/or darkly humorous punishments:
** He punishes rapists by giving them over to the [[ColdBloodedTorture "mercies"]] of Pretty Meris, who was the victim of gang rape.
** He punished a man who deserted because of bad food by chopping off his leg, roasting it, and [[{{autocannibalism}} feeding it to him]], and then making the guy company cook. Oddly, the man didn't hold a grudge and willingly reenlisted after that.
* TheNondescript: He's totally unmemorable looking without his infamous cloak.
* OldSoldier
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname
* TheRival: To Bloodbeard, the commander of the Company of the Cat.
* SoleSurvivor: He is the last living founder of the Windblown.
