Ser Podrick Payne, affectionately called Pod, is a knight of a lesser branch of House Payne in HBO's Game of Thrones. He began as a humble squire during the War of the Five Kings and rose, through unwavering loyalty and quiet courage, to become a knight and eventually a member of King Bran the Broken's Kingsguard.
Assigned first to Lord Tyrion Lannister and later to Ser Brienne of Tarth, Podrick saved Tyrion's life at the Battle of the Blackwater by killing Ser Mandon Moore, then travelled Westeros at Brienne's side in search of the Stark girls.
