Biography[]
Game of Thrones: Season 4[]
Lowell is at a tavern along with Polliver and three other Lannister soldiers, harassing the innkeeper and attempting to molest his daughter. He sits down at a table, eating some chicken, as the Hound and Arya walk in.[1]
The Hound argues with Polliver about giving him a free chicken. Polliver offers a trade - a chicken in return for letting the Lannister men take turns molesting Arya. He then gestures to Lowell, saying that he likes the girls he molests to be "broken in" beforehand. This ultimately leads to a brawl between the Hound and the soldiers. Lowell attempts to fight back, but is violently punched in the mouth by the Hound and falls to the floor. After getting back up, Lowell again tries to swing at the Hound, but the Hound instead parries Lowell's sword into the crotch of another soldier. Lowell proceeds to tackle the Hound to the ground and holds a knife to his throat, but the Hound fights back and uses Lowell's own blade to stab him in the eyes multiple times, killing him.[1]
At a meeting of the Small Council, Varys informs the other members that the Hound has slaughtered five Lannister solders in the Riverlands.[2]
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there is no character named Lowell. The people whom Arya and the Hound encounter and fight at the Inn at the Crossroads are Polliver, the Tickler and a squire of House Sarsfield.

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 4 in 301 AC.
