Ser Shadrich fought for Stannis Baratheon in the Battle of the Blackwater. After Stannis's defeat, Shadrich was forced to pay a ransom he could not afford, meaning that he was ruined financially. Shadrich becomes a hired knight for the merchant Hibald and his serving men.[1]

While Shadrich is escorting Hibald's party to Duskendale, they are joined by Brienne of Tarth, Ser Creighton Longbough, and Ser Illifer the Penniless. When Brienne says she is searching for her lost sister, Shadrich realizes that it is Sansa Stark whom Brienne seeks. Shadrich explains Varys is offering a plump bag of gold for Sansa, which would return him to the status he enjoyed before the Blackwater.[1] Shadrich offers to split the reward, but Brienne carries on pretending she is seeking her sister. Shadrich becomes sarcastic as he knows she is lying.[1]

After Brienne abandons her traveling companions at the Old Stone Bridge,[1] she worries that Shadrich might be following her. It is actually Podrick Payne who follows Brienne after Duskendale, however.[5]

Ser Shadrich eventually turns up at the Gates of the Moon as a newly-hired hedge knight in service to Lord Petyr Baelish. Along with Ser Byron the Beautiful and Ser Morgarth the Merry, Shadrich is introduced to Alayne Stone (a disguised Sansa Stark) in the west tower of the Gates.[6]
