Biography[]
Background[]
A dwarf, he makes a living by performing for other peoples' amusement.[1]
Game of Thrones: Season 4[]
He is one of five dwarfs hired by King Joffrey to re-enact the War of the Five Kings during the Purple Wedding. He dresses as Stannis Baratheon and rides a mount resembling Melisandre. Tyrion Lannister and many other guests find the spectacle in poor taste, and he instructs his squire Podrick Payne to pay each of the dwarves 20 Gold Dragons afterwards.[1]
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there are only two dwarfs jousting. They ride live animals, a dog and a sow. Their real names are revealed in A Dance with Dragons - Oppo (aka Groat) and his sister Penny.
The one meant as a mockery of Stannis bears a shield depicting the black stag on yellow of House Baratheon. Stannis is also vilified in a song by Galyeon of Cuy, which depicts Stannis as an envious and evil man, bordering on an stereotypical fantasy evil overlord, planning on usurping the Seven Kingdoms.
