Ser Brienne of Tarth is the only surviving child and heir of Lord Selwyn Tarth of Evenfall Hall, and a prominent character in Game of Thrones. Unusually tall and skilled at arms, she pursues a warrior's life against the expectations placed on a Westerosi noblewoman, and becomes the first woman formally knighted in the Seven Kingdoms.
Fiercely honourable, Brienne serves in turn Renly Baratheon, Catelyn Stark, and House Stark's cause, and is ultimately named Lady Commander of the Kingsguard. She is defined by her devotion to sworn oaths and her loyalty to those she protects. This overview summarizes her character; see the Timeline for a chronological account of her arc.
