In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Arys Oakheart is a member of Robert Baratheon's Kingsguard, appointed after his predecessor - whose name has not been mentioned - perished during the Greyjoy Rebellion. He is a member of House Oakheart, a noble house from the Reach.
He is regarded as one of the kinder knights of the Kingsguard under King Joffrey, objecting at first to Joffrey's orders to beat Sansa, then only hitting her as lightly as he can. He is also of a much more pleasant demeanor, often engaging in pleasant conversation with the Stark girl.
Arys remains in Dorne as Myrcella's sworn shield. During this time, Arianne Martell, Prince Doran's daughter and heiress, sexually seduces him. She persuades him to take part in her plan to crown Myrcella to incite war with the Iron Throne in retaliation for the death of Oberyn Martell. The plan is foiled, as Arianne's party is intercepted by Areo Hotah. Ser Arys, bravely but foolishly, charges at the surrounding soldiers and kills some of them, but is killed by Hotah. During the confrontation, Myrcella is gravely injured and nearly killed by one of their escorts, Ser Gerold "Darkstar" Dayne.
Cersei is pleased to hear about Ser Arys's death since it creates a vacancy on the Kingsguard - which is filled by her new champion, Ser Robert Strong.

Notes[]
- ↑ In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 8 in 305 AC.
