A Lannister soldier is an unnamed character in the seventh season. He is played by guest star William Postlethwaite and debuts in "Dragonstone".

Background
The soldier had a wife with whom he conceived a child before he departed for King's Landing. When he finally reached the city, he found it to be a foul and dangerous place full of treacherous people. He was sent to the Riverlands along with his comrades to keep the peace following some trouble caused by House Frey.

Season 6
He was sitting by a campfire with his comrades singing a rendition of "Hands of Gold" when Arya Stark approached their camp. They offered to share their food and wine with her and she accepted their invitation. When she told them that she was heading for King's Landing, he warned her that the city's streets were covered in shit and pig's blood and that the people there would skin her alive if they could make two coppers off of her hide. He told her that his wife had just had their first baby, though when Arya asked if it was a boy or a girl he admitted that he did not know, as soldiers did not receive ravens with news from home. He expressed hope that it was a girl who would look after him when he grew old, rather that a boy who would go off to fight in someone else's war. He then asked Arya why she was going to King's Landing, and laughed along with the others when she told them that she was going with the intention of killing Queen Cersei Lannister, mistaking it for a joke.
