A Game of Thrones

Ser Arys competes in the Hand's tourney along with the other Kingsguard knights. He is present in the throne room when Ser Barristan Selmy is dismissed, and he laughs at his former sworn brother's shame.[6]

A Clash of Kings

Ser Arys is regarded as one of the kinder Kingsguard under King Joffrey I Baratheon, often making pleasant conversation with Sansa Stark. When Joffrey orders his Kingsguard to beat Sansa, Ser Meryn Trant, Ser Boros Blount, Ser Preston Greenfield, and Ser Mandon Moore carry out the command without qualm or question. Arys, when ordered, hits Sansa but as lightly as he dares, and only after objecting first.[2] He is also skilled with the lance, displaying absolute confidence in his ability to win the tourney on King Joffrey's name day, despite the presence of other Kingsguard.

Arys is sent to Sunspear in Dorne to guard Princess Myrcella Baratheon, who is betrothed to Trystane Martell.[7] Arys regrets having struck Sansa, and he lights a candle to the Warrior in gratitude for having been chosen by Tyrion Lannister for the mission.[4]

A Storm of Swords

Lord Tywin Lannister informs his son Tyrion that Ser Arys Oakheart has sent a letter from Dorne, revealing Myrcella and Trystane get on well and that Myrcella has taken a great liking to Princess Arianne Martell.[8]

A Feast for Crows

Arys is seduced within half a year by Arianne, daughter of Doran Martell, Prince of Dorne, and heiress to the throne of Dorne.[9] She convinces him to rebel against the Iron Throne and support Myrcella's claim over that of her brother, King Tommen I Baratheon.[4] When the conspiracy is uncovered at the Greenblood, Arys stages a mad charge into Martell forces, killing two of their number before being killed himself by Areo Hotah, the captain of Prince Doran's guard.[10]

A Dance with Dragons

The Dornish court decides to tell Ser Balon Swann that Arys was killed by Ser Gerold Dayne.[11]

Quotes by Arys

You know I have no other woman. Only... duty. [4]

- Arys to Arianne Martell


There have always been men who found it easier to speak vows than to keep them.[4]

- Arys to Arianne Martell

- Arys to Arianne Martell


You will not take her whilst I still draw breath.[10]

- Arys to Areo Hotah

Quotes about Arys

Arys, my sweet knight, why did you do it? You should have yielded. I tried to tell you, but the words caught in my mouth. You gallant fool, I never meant for you to die, or for Myrcella...[9]

- thoughts of Arianne Martell


Did he charge at Areo Hotah in hopes of saving me? Or did he do it to escape me, to wash out his dishonor with his life's blood?[9]
