A Feast for Crows
Ser Osney and his brothers are ordered by Queen Cersei to dispose of the corpse of Shae. Cersei tells them that what they do with the corpse is of no concern.[5] He was given a horse by his brother, Osfryd, which he named Midnight.[6]Cersei has Osney kill the High Septon, fearing what Lancel might have told the man. Osney sneaks into the Great Sept and smothers the High Septon with a pillow while he sleeps. As a reward Cersei beds him.
Cersei then sends Ser Osney on a mission. He is to be caught seducing and bedding Queen Margaery Tyrell. Then Tommen I is to send him to the Wall as punishment, where he can kill Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, Jon Snow. Cersei promises him a pardon and lordship when both these tasks are completed. Margaery responds to Osney's advances with nothing but teasing however, so Cersei hatches a new scheme. She tells Osney to go the the new High Septon (known as the High Sparrow) and falsely confess to bedding Margaery and two of her three cousins. Cersei then lets him bed her again to make sure he obeys.
During his torture, the Blue Bard is forced to list those he claims are Queen Margaery's secret lovers. Among them is Ser Osney.[7] Ser Osney then confesses to the High Septon, who has Margaery and her cousins arrested. However, the High Septon is suspicious of Osney's confession. He has never heard a confession from a man so pleased to be guilty. The High Septon then has Osney tortured to verify his confession. Under that duress, Osney tells a different story, which implicates Cersei in the death of the previous High Septon and in having sexual relations with Osney. This news allows the High Septon to arrest Cersei on similar charges to those of Margaery.[8]
A Dance with Dragons
Ser Osney still remains a prisoner of the Faith. He is to be executed for the murder of the previous High Septon.
