"Give the order and we'll clear out this rabble"

- Lead Kingsguard

The Lead Kingsguard is a minor character in the fifth season who first appears in the episode "Sons of the Harpy". He is portrayed by Paddy Wallace.

Season 5
He is one one of the five Kingsguard who guard King Tommen on his way to the High Sparrow. When the present members of the Faith Militant deny Tommen entrance to the sept because the High Sparrow is praying, the Lead Kingsguard asks for permission to kill the fanatics. However, Tommen denies the request as he does not want to risk bloodshed escalating matters - particularly, shedding blood on holy ground.

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Tommen's personal sworn shield is Ser Boros Blount. It is unknown if this Kingsguard is meant to be Ser Boros. In the novels, Tommen also is much younger and never leaves the Red Keep to meet the High Sparrow.
