History
Bryce was born to Lord Bryen Caron. He became the head of the house, lord of Nightsong and Lord of the Marches, after his father, mother, brother, and all his sisters succumbed to a terrible chill in 289 AC. The only known living relative of his, is his half-brother by his father Rolland Storm.
A Game of Thrones
He participates at the Tourney of the Hand in King's Landing given in the honor of Lord Eddard Stark and is defeated by Ser Jaime Lannister of the Kingsguard.[1] Lord Bryce's name is read aloud during King Joffrey's first court session placing him in a list of nobles who are instructed to come to king's Landing to swear fealty to Joffrey. [2]
A Clash of Kings
When Lord Renly Baratheon declared himself king, Lord Bryce chose to support him and was named to Renly's new Rainbow Guard, in which he wears the color orange, which gives him the nickname Bryce the Orange[3] Lord Bryce is among the nobles from Renly's camp beneath Bitterbridge that attends the feast, where he goads his fellow Rainbow Guard Ser Robar Royce into juggling daggers.[4]
When Renly learned that Stannis had laid siege to Storm's End, Lord Bryce travels with him to Storm's End, he present at the failed parley beneath the walls of Storm's End between Renly and Stannis. Renly gives him command of the left in the coming battle between the brothers.[5] However before the battle can take place, Renly is assassinated by Melisandre.
After Renly's death, Bryce rallies to Stannis I, offering to fight Ser Cortnay Penrose in single combat if it would win Stannis Storm's End. He is rebuffed.[6] After the castle is taken, Bryce tells Stannis that Melisandre should be sent back to Dragonstone before the assault on King's Landing, lest it be thought that Stannis owed the crown to her spells. In the battle, Bryce is killed in single combat by Ser Philip Foote.[7] His lands, titles and incomes are granted to Ser Philip by the Iron Throne, although his bastard half-brother Ser Rolland Storm lays claim to them under Stannis' banner.
