    Bronn is a mercenary of great skill.  He has a lean, wolfish appearance, a black sense of humor, and a pragmatic, thoroughly amoral philosophy.
    
    Bronn was present in the inn when Lady Catelyn Stark begged all men present to help her arrest Tyrion Lannister for the attempted murder of her son. He helped escort Tyrion to the Eyrie, but then championed him during Tyrion's trial by combat in hope of reward.  Bronn won the duel and thereafter passed into Tyrion's service as an enforcer.
    
    In King's Landing, Bronn was Tyrion's right hand man. For his contribution in the defense of the city he was knighted. He called himself Ser Bronn of the Blackwater and took as his sigil a green, flaming chain on black, in commemoration of his role in the battle.
    
    After Tyrion's arrest under suspicion of murdering Joffrey Baratheon, Bronn promptly abandoned Tyrion and accepted an offer from Cersei Lannister to marry into the wealthy house Stokeworth. Cersei later feared Bronn was still in league with Tyrion.  She ordered Bronn's sister-in-law, Falyse -- the new Lady Stokeworth -- and her husband, Balman Byrch, to have Bronn killed.  Balman challenged Bronn to a duel but was killed, and Falyse was expelled from the castle. Upon his brother-in-law's death, Bronn was unopposed as the Lord Protector of Stokeworth.
