=== This is a listing of organizations that appear in the [[Fantasy]] series ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire (Literature)|A Song of Ice and Fire]]''. Visit [[A Song of Ice and Fire (Literature)/Characters|here]] for the main character index. ===
 
== '''The Kingsguard''' ==
Line 40:
* [[The Eeyore]]: Dolorous Edd, so very much. [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Ironic Nickname]]: Many members have these, such as "Small Paul" and "Giant".
* [[Locked Away in Aa Monastery]]: The reason [[Inadequate Inheritor|Sam Tarly]] was sent.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Qhorin Halfhand -- in-universe!
* [[Mentor Archetype]]: Jeor Mormont, Qhorin Halfhand and Maester Aemon.
Line 46:
* [[Old Master]]: The senior members often are this. Special mention goes to Maester Aemon and Jeor "Old Bear" Mormont.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: By the time of ''A Game Of Thrones'', they're composed mostly of criminals, bastards, disgraced nobles, enemies of politically powerful people, and the like. It doesn't stop them from being an effective fighting force.
* [[Reassigned to Antarctica]]: One of the reasons people are sent to the Wall; Janos Slynt, for example, and the Lannisters' [[Spanner in Thethe Works|original]] plan for Eddard Stark.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With the Kingsguard. See above.
* [[The So-Called Coward]]: Samwell Tarly is the first member of current Night's Watch to actually kill one of The Others.
Line 73:
 
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Vargo Hoat, with his slobbery lisping voice and eccentric behavior.
* [[Death Byby Irony]]: Vargo's signature move is cutting off limbs and leaving the victims alive. This eventually happened to Vargo himself, who had his own body parts roasted and ''fed to him'' by Gregor Clegane. Clegane keeps Vargo alive as long as possible, because he found the way Vargo slobbered when talking to be amusing.
** Doubles as a [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch]] due to Hoat being a general [[Complete Monster]].
* [[The Dreaded]]: Vargo is infamous and known as "The Crippler" among the servants, peasants and helpless victims. Those who are actually in a position to fight back know him by the rather less intimidating nickname of [[Fluffy the Terrible|"The Goat"]] (referring to the emblem of Hoat's home city of Qohor, which is a black goat).
* [[Equal Opportunity Evil]]: The Brave Companions are quite diverse. It seems like the only criteria for membership in addition to being a competent fighter is being a completely amoral bastard.
Line 102:
** Possibly his [[For Science!]] motivation drives him to stay loyal because nobody else would {{spoiler|give him free reign to experiment on prisoners or let him create an indestructible undead warrior.}}
* [[War Is Hell]]: It is in general in these books, but when they're around even moreso.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Their eventual fate, at Roose Bolton's and Gregor Clegane's hands. Unsurprisingly, [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch|nobody feels particularly sorry for them when this happens.]]
