He did however manage to grab a fine shadowskin cloak off one of the dead clansmen.[5] At the trial of Tyrion, Marillion is present and told by him to make a ballad about how Tyrion was not allowed to choose his champion in a Trial by Battle.[6]

After Lysa has seen Petyr kissing Sansa she has Marillion bring Sansa to her. She blaimes Sansa and threatens to throw her through the Moon Door. To prevent them from being heard Marillion plays the harp and sings. Just as Sansa almost falls, Petyr arrives. He saves Sansa and reassures Lysa. Then he throws Lysa through the Moon Door and calls the guards telling that Marillion killed Lysa.[11]
