In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, House Dondarrion was founded by a messenger who brought word of an impending attack by Dorne to the Storm King. The messenger was attacked by two Dornishmen, but a freak bolt of lightning killed both of them, allowing the messenger to complete his task.

A century before the events of the series, House Dondarrion was charged by the King to root out a bandit warlord known as the Vulture King, who had established a hideaway in the Red Mountains. The Dondarrions, allied to the neighbouring House Caron of Nightsong, took eight hundred horse and four thousand foot into the mountains to complete the mission.

Lord Beric Dondarrion is young, handsome and popular, known for his valour, steadfastness and reliability.
