Biography[]

In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Stranger is a heavy courser almost as large as a destrier but much faster. He is a big handsome black stallion with a mean temper, quick to kick and bite but gentle as an old gelding with Sandor.
When Brienne and her companions arrive on the Quiet Isle, they notice a huge black stallion at stable. The Elder Brother tells Brienne it is the Hound's horse, found beside the river. They changed his name to Driftwood and castrated him in attempt to improve its ill temper, but in vain; when they tried to harness him to a plow, he kicked Brother Rawney and broke his shinbone, and bit off Brother Gillam's ear.
