Kem is a sellsword of the Second Sons. He is young. Tyrion thinks that every word out of his mouth reeks of Flea Bottom

History

Kem once saw Tywin Lannister riding up a hill. His men had red cloaks and little lions on their helms. Kem liked those helms. He tells Tyrion that he never liked the Hand though, he sacked the city and them he smashed the host that Kem was in on the Blackwater.

Kem claims he and his brother, Kennet, fought in the army of Stannis Baratheon during the battle for King's Landing. He tried to escape after the appearance of Renly Baratheon's ghost, but at the ships a knight said to him “Where’s your spear boy? We got no room for cravens” and they buggered off and left Kem and thousands more besides.

After the defeat of Stannis, he feared being sent to the Wall and traveled across the narrow sea and joined up with the sellsword company the Second Sons as a means to survive.

Recent Events

A Dance with Dragons

He along with the rest of the Second Sons went over to the Yunkai when Brown Ben Plumm thought Daenerys Targaryens cause was lost.

He briefly chats with Tyrion Lannister when the dwarf joins the company. Tyrion asks him if he missed King's Landing. Kem replies “some”. He adds that he misses "this boy", a friend of his - but he doesn’t say who the boy is.

Kem mentions he misses the food, and his love for the bowl of brown in a certain pot shop in King's Landing, saying that no one ever made a bowl o' brown like them, so thick you could stand your spoon up in the bowl, with chucks of this and that. He asks Tyrion if he has ever had a bowl of brown. Tyrion replies "A time or two. Singers stew, I call it."

When Kem asks why its called that, Tyrion says "It tastes so good it makes me want to sing" Kem likes that and says he will ask for it the next time he gets back to Flea Bottom.

He then asks Tyrion what he misses. Tyrion thinks of Jaime, Tysha, Shae.Tysha. His wife that he hardly knew, but replies "Wine, whores and wealth". Especially the wealth. He informs Kem "Wealth will buy you wine and whores" and thinks privately to himself - It will also buy you swords, and the Kems to wield them.
