The dying man, sometimes called the dying farmer, is a minor character in the fourth season of HBO's Game of Thrones, one of the smallfolk of the Vale.
After his hut is ransacked by the outlaws Rorge and Biter he is left mortally wounded and slow to die. Found by Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane, he speaks with Arya about suffering and death before the Hound gives him a mercy killing. The scene is a noted homage to Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
