The frank Ser Marlon can be haughty and disdainful.^[2]

Marlon escorts Lord Davos Seaworth, an envoy of Stannis Baratheon, to the Merman's Court in the New Castle. Standing by the right hand of Lord Wyman Manderly, Marlon curtly questions Davos about Stannis's prospects. Wyman publicly orders his cousin to have Davos taken to the Wolf's Den and executed.^[2] The Manderlys secretly spare Davos, however.^[4]

Quotes

Marlon: Your lordship asked the onion knight what Stannis offers us. Let me answer. He offers us defeat and death. He would have you mount a horse of air and give battle with a sword of wind.
Wyman: My cousin cuts to the bone, as ever.^[2]
