Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
During the Hand's tourney at King's Landing in celebration of Lord Eddard Stark's ascension as Hand of the King, Anguy wins the archery competition, outshooting Ser Balon Swann and Jalabhar Xho at a hundred paces and earning himself a sum of ten thousand golden dragons. He refuses an offer from Eddard to join the Hand's guard.[7] Afterwards he squanders his fortune on Jayde, Alayaya and Dancy (expensive whores from Chataya's brothel), roast swan, Arbor wine, and other lavish excesses.[9] As he is from the Dornish Marches, it is likely that he rides with Lord Beric Dondarrion when Eddard dispatches the Lightning Lord to bring Ser Gregor Clegane to justice.
A Storm of Swords
Anguy is with the brotherhood without banners party that captures Arya Stark and brings her to Beric in the hollow hill.[5][1] Like most members of the brotherhood, Anguy is now a follower of R'hllor.[1] He takes part in the battle at the burning septry with the Brave Companions, where Septon Utt is hanged.[9]
A Feast for Crows
After Beric's final death,[10] a part of the brotherhood, including Anguy, go their separate way from those who chose to follow the resurrected, vengeful Lady Stoneheart.[8][3]

Behind the Scenes
George R. R. Martin was probably inspired by his father when he wrote about Anguy spending ten thousand golden dragons on women and drinking as his father won ten thousand dollars by gambling during World War II. He had a good time with the money, spending it all on women, beer, nightclubs, and the track.[11]
