Recent Events A Game of ThronesДЇollowing the Battle of the Camps, Lord Tywin Lannister sends Vargo Hoat, Ser Gregor Clegane, and Ser Amory Lorch to pillage the riverlands near the Gods Eye and the Red Fork with three hundred horse each. Their diverse ranks are said to include copper men with bells in their braids lancers astride black-and-white horses bowmen with powdered cheeks squat hairy men with shaggy shields brown-skinned men in feathered cloaks swordsmen with fantastic forked beards dyed green and purple and silver spearmen with colored scars that cover their cheeks Myrish crossbowmen, pale Lyseni and dark Dornishmen.

Their previous leader was likely not a Qohorik, and their next might possibly be a Lyseni, a Dornishman or even an Ibbenese. Their numbers consist of the scum of the west, and a few from the east and the south. According to semi-canon sources, the Brave Companions are not as old as other mercenary companies and were established before Vargo Hoat became their leader.
