Tom of Sevenstreams, also known as Tom O'Sevens or Tom Sevenstrings, is a singer and a member of the Brotherhood Without Banners.

History

Tom once ran afoul of Edmure Tully when he stole a girl that Edmure was supposed to bed to take his virginity. Edmure had drank too much and was unable to perform. Tom then made a song about a floppy fish, which led to Edmure's hatred of music.[1] He passed seven sons long ago and claims they all have beautiful voices.[2] Supposedly one of his sons resides at the Peach in Stoney Sept though Tom does not claim him.[3]

House Tully has never been good to Tom. Lady Lysa Tully once sent Tom up the high road, where the Mountain clans took his gold, horse and clothes. He walked up to the Gates of the Moon with nothing but his harp. There the guards made him sing two songs before letting him pass.[4]

He sang at the wedding of his cousin, Ser Pate of the Blue Fork, though his cousin never paid him.[5]

Recent Events

A Storm of Swords

Tom and his companions Lem and Anguy stumble upon Arya Stark, Gendry and Hot Pie digging in a garden. There, after a display of archery from Anguy, they force Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie to accompany them to the Inn of the Kneeling Man.[6]

A Feast for Crows

When Ser Jaime Lannister visited the camp of the Freys during the siege of Riverrun he told Tom to follow him, after claiming Edmure Tully. After Jaime was done threatening Edmure, he told Tom to sing The Rains of Castamere. When asked by Jaime, Tom claimed he hoped to win a place at Riverrun after Emmon Frey became its lord.[7] He is listed as still being a member of Lady Stoneheart's band of outlaws.[8]

Appearance

He looks around fifty years old, small and has a big mouth, pointy nose and thin brown hair.[9]
