You mustn't hurt sweet Shagwell, I'm too droll to die.
~ Shagwell begging Brienne of Tarth for his life.

Shagwell, better known as Shagwell the Fool, is a supporting antagonist in the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series. He is a psychotic jester and a member of the Brave Companions mercenary company.

Personality[]

Shagwell is a criminally insane and wispy jester who loves dark humor and tormenting people, especially women. He is a rapist, a torturer, and he loves telling cruel jokes, especially during atrocities taking place. He also enjoys telling riddles, hopping around and being annoying, sometimes causing his most violent comrades to push him away.

Jaime Lannister considers Shagwell one of the worst members of the Brave Companions and Arya Stark is deeply disturbed by him, to the point that she does not dare try to kill him. Despite his disturbing character, Shagwell is a coward who becomes terrified when confronted alone by stronger opponents and his equally vile comrades are not afraid of him.

Shagwell's laugh is described as high, shrill and braying.

Biography[]

Past[]

Shagwell's background and native homeland are unknown. There are rumors that Shagwell once killed a man for not laughing at one of his japes. At some point, he became a mercenary, joining the Brave Companions, a sellsword company located in Essos, presumably in the Free Cities.

In late 298 AC, the Brave Companions found work in Westeros when they were employed into House Lannister's service by Lord Tywin Lannister of Casterly Rock, to strike against his enemies of House Tully and their vassals and subjects in the Riverlands. Following the Battle of the Camps, which saw the end of the siege of Riverrun and the destruction of Ser Jaime Lannister's army, the Brave Companions are sent by Lord Tywin to pillage the Riverlands near the Gods Eye and the Red Fork, along with the foraging parties of Ser Gregor Clegane and Ser Amory Lorch, all with three hundred horse each.

A Clash of Kings[]

In 299 AC, Shagwell is one of the many members of the Brave Companions who continue terrorizing the Riverlands under the employ of Tywin Lannister, who occupies the Gods Eye with armies while he sits at Harrenhal with his main host. Shagwell is part of the foraging parties going back and forth from Harrenhal to ravage the Riverlands, burning, plundering, raiding and sacking towns, and bringing prisoners, cattle and the fruits of their work back to the castle. The Brave Companions do not even spare holy places of the Gods, such as septs, septries and motherhouses.

The Brave Companions are eventually dispatched, along with Ser Gregor Clegane and his warband, to destroy the northern-Frey army of Lord Roose Bolton, who commands King Robb Stark's infantry army and has occupied the ruby ford of the Trident. However, their attempts are unsuccessful. Furthermore, during their raids, both Vargo and Gregor's bands are repeatedly harassed by Beric Dondarrion's outlaws and their guerrilla attacks, and also fight many skirmishes against them, along with fights against the knights and men-at-arms of the Riverlands defending the lands of their liege Riverlords.

Later, as the war keeps going, Shagwell and his company return to Harrenhal as usual, all housed in the Widow's Tower. There is only one episode of breach of discipline, which saw a fight between Brave Companions and soldiers of Ser Amory Lorch's garrison, resulting in a few men getting injured, the deaths of Ser Harys Swyft's squire and an archer of Lord Lewys Lydden, and Tywin having two Brave Companions hanged. Eventually, the Brave Companions depart from the castle once more, once again to attack Lord Roose Bolton's army camped north on the ruby ford, while the majority of Tywin's army leave to march back to the Westerlands to wage war against King Robb's army.

However, Shagwell and his fellow Brave Companions betray House Lannister after Roose Bolton and Vargo Hoat, leader of the Brave Companions, successfully negotiate for the latter to defect to House Stark's side, promising him lordship of Harrenhal in exchange. Now working under Bolton's employ, the Brave Companions return to Harrenhal to falsely report the successful annihilation of the northern-Frey army that was camped north. They bring back to the castle many captives, led by Ser Aenys Frey and Robett Glover, who are actually playing along, knowing that the Brave Companions will liberate them later.

Shagwell participates in the slaughter of Ser Amory Lorch's garrison in the Fall of Harrenhal, a battle that was decided and commanded by Ser Edmure Tully, who ordered Lord Bolton to attack Harrenhal with his army. Shagwell and his company betrayed their Westermen comrades of the garrison, attacking them at night after long celebrations of the false defeat of King Robb's infantry. Shortly before the treacherous surprise assault commences, the Brave Companions are assisted by three of Ser Amory's own men-at-arms—Jaqen H'ghar, Rorge, and Biter— and one House Whent retainer named Weasel. Unaware of what was going on, the girl Weasel decided to have the Lorathi Jaqen liberate the northern and rivermen captives, leading Jaqen to bring along Rorge and his "pet" Biter, who agreed to defect to join the Brave Companions.

Ahead of shedule, Weasel, Jaqen, Rorge and Biter attack the prison guards and release Robett Glover, Ser Aenys Frey, and all the other captives held at Harrenhal (including those who were already captives from the Battle on the Green Fork). Meanwhile, Shagwell's band attacks Ser Amory's garrison, starting with assassinating them in their own beds, until fighting within the castle ensues.

After the battle, Shagwell hacks off the heads of two dead knights from Ser Amory's garrison and prances around, swinging the heads by their hair and making them talk to each other about the way they died, as part of his macabre puppet show. Having heard the tale of the little girl Weasel and her unexpected part in the battle, Shagwell becomes fond of it and ends up spreading the story of the 'weasel soup' and Arya Stark's involvement in the castle's fall.

Shagwell's constant spreading of the weasel soup tale prompts Arya to consider adding him to her prayer kill list, but her fear of Shagwell negates this thought. Shagwell is present at Harrenhal's main gate when Lord Roose Bolton arrives at the castle with all his infantry army, and Vargo Hoat relinquishes the castle to him, while Ser Aenys Frey introduces him to Rorge and Biter (while Jaqen disappeared the night of the sack). Shagwell then eagerly seizes Arya and personally introduces her to Roose as the 'weasel who made the soup'. This also forces the icognito Arya to create the new fake identity of "Nymeria" or simply "Nan", as Roose did not tolerate her blatantly false name "Weasel" and forced her to reveal him her "real" name.

The Brave Companions also deliver Harrenhal's castellan Ser Amory Lorch to Lord Bolton, stripped of all his clothes. Later at evening, Shagwell and Rorge kick the naked, sobbing and pleading Amory into the bear pit that evening, where he is mauled to death by Vargo Hoat's massive black bear.

Shagwell and his comrades are tasked by Lord Bolton with rooting out Westermen forces in the surrounding countryside. The sellswords are divided by their commander Vargo into four bands, giving smaller ones to his trusted captains while he leads the largest one himself. Using their past affiliation with Tywin Lannister, the Brave Companions fool Lannister garrisons that are unaware of their betrayal, before wiping them out and returning to Harrenhal with bags of coin and baskets of severed heads of Westermen.

Shagwell's constant talking about the weasel soup story led to the entire garrison knowing about Arya's involvement in the sack of Harrenhal, including the castle's remaining smallfolk population from House Whent's household (the nearly-extinct noble house that held the castle and the currently burned and deserted Harrentown prior Tywin's invasion). As a result, the Whent household avoid or resent Arya, including Hot Pie and Gendry, or become outright hostile to her, like Goodwife Amabel, as they lost friends and now have to serve under Roose Bolton and the much more scummy Brave Companions, the latter being far more vile, insane and cruel than Amory Lorch and Gregor Clegane and their respective warbands.

A Storm of Swords[]

Despite having joined King Robb Stark's cause, the Brave Companions continue taking advantage of the war to do whatever they want, thus they keep terrorizing and massacring the innocent smallfolk population of the Riverlands in the east and keep causing much devastation, despite the fact that those lands are sworn to House Tully and are part of Robb's kingdom. The Brave Companions' tortured, raped, cannibalized and murdered victims include members of the Faith of the Seven like septons, septas, silent sisters, and brothers of septries (monks).

Shagwell is part of Urswyck's foraging company that captures Ser Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth near the thrice-sacked town of Maidenpool. They regroup with Vargo Hoat's main warband, who then has Shagwell kick Jaime to the ground so that Zollo can maim him, chopping off his right hand, eliminating him as a threat as a fighter and compromising any possible alliance between Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister.

On the way back to Harrenhal, Shagwell and many of his comrades laugh when Rorge deceptively makes Jaime drink horse urine offered as water. Jaime manages to snatch Timeon's sword one morning and tries to use it to fight against his captors and flee. However, Shagwell easily dodges all of Jaime's weak left-handed swings, before the knight trips and falls into the ground, after which Shagwell mockingly kisses Jaime's head much to the hilarity of the other sellswords, displaying how unthreatening Jaime became. For his insolence, Jaime is brutally beaten up, chiefly by Rorge, until he can no longer stand.

One night, Shagwell, Zollo, and Rorge attempt to rape Brienne, leading to the three of them arguing about which of them is going to take her first. Eventually, the three agree to rape Brienne at the same time, each of them using one orifice for sex. Shagwell favors and encourages hard anal sex for Brienne, casually mentioning that he wanted to have anal sex with his own mother. Their attempted rape is thwarted by Jaime, who claims that Brienne can be ransomed for sapphires from her father, Lord Selwyn Tarth of Evenfall Hall, leading Vargo to stop Shagwell, Rorge and Zollo and put guards on Brienne.

Upon arriving at Harrenhal, the Brave Companions deliver Ser Jaime to Roose Bolton, who is accompanied by Ser Aenys Frey and numerous other Freys. Shagwell suggests that Jaime be thrown into Harrenhal's bear pit, but both Vargo and Roose refuse, with the former wishing to force Tywin Lannister to pay a ransom for Jaime, only to send Jaime to the the Karstarks (whose army is raiding across the Riverlands after deserting their king Robb).

Things don't turn up well for the Brave Companions when Roose sends Jaime back to King's Landing instead of sending him back to Riverrun. The day Jaime is released, escorted by Steelshanks Walton's party and accompanied by the Brave Companion healer Qyburn (who decided to leave the company to join the Lannisters), Shagwell is among the Companions mocked by Jaime, noting how Shagwell has no last jokes to tell him, as all the sellswords are staring grimly at the knight leaving. The sellswords know that Roose betrayed them and they are doomed to face the Lannisters alone, as they lack the numbers to oppose Roose's northmen and the Freys, who lead a far larger army. At the same time, Roose and his entire host leave Harrenhal to march north to the Twins, where they are to regroup with the rest of Robb Stark's army for Lord Edmure Tully's wedding and the planned campaign against the Ironborn in the North. Thus, the Brave Companions are left alone to hold Harrenhal and at the mercy of Tywin Lannister's wrath for their betrayal.

Days later, Shagwell is among the Brave Companions watching their captive Brienne of Tarth fighting against Lord Vargo's bear at Harrenhal's pit, after Brienne bit part of Vargo's ear off while the latter attempted to rape her, following an unsuccessful ransom negotiation with Lord Selwyn Tarth, who turned out not owning sapphire mines. Shagwell and his comrades are surprised by the unexpected return of Steelshanks Walton's party back to Harrenhal, with Jaime among them, who saves Brienne from the bear whilst Steelshanks and his crossbowmen kill the animal, much to Vargo's rage. Shagwell watches as Rorge urges Vargo to fight the escorting Bolton men and kill Jaime, but the new Lord of Harrenhal refuses and allows Jaime and Brienne to leave untouched.

After the Red Wedding and the death of Robb Stark, the Brave Companions no longer have any reason to stay in Westeros and are facing the wrath of the Iron Throne, with Ser Gregor Clegane's army currently descending to Harrenhal to recapture it. However, Vargo became unstable and delirious from the ear wound Brienne gave him, which became infected and is festering, and now only keeps ranting that the Brave Companions must hold Harrenhal at all costs, as the castle is his seat. Shagwell is among the majority of the Brave Companions who desert Vargo and leave Harrenhal, with only a small number of Companions sticking with Vargo in the castle. This marks the end of the sellsword company, as the leaderless Brave Companions scatter into many separate outlaw bands in the Riverlands. The minority that stayed at Harrenhal ends up getting slaughtered by the Mountain and his men, with the then-insane Vargo being taken alive for torture.

A Feast For Crows[]

Shagwell: You mustn't hurt sweet Shagwell, I'm too droll to die.
Brienne: You are no better than the rest of them. You have robbed and raped and murdered.
Shagwell: Oh, I have, I have, I shan't deny it... but I'm amusing, with all my japes and capers. I make men laugh.
Brienne: And women weep.
Shagwell: Is that my fault? Women have no sense of humor.
~ Shagwell and Brienne.

After the scattering of the Brave Companions and Ser Gregor Clegane's capture of Harrenhal, Shagwell is part of Rorge's large band of outlaws roaming in the Riverlands, heading east with their horses to find a ship to take them to Essos, presumably back to the Free Cities. In the year 300 AC, now back in King's Landing, Ser Jaime Lannister hopes to find Shagwell and Pyg in Harrenhal's dungeons when he returns to the castle with his army (he will later find out that nearly all the Brave Companions deserted before the Cleganes arrived).

On his journey to the Narrow Sea, Shagwell is accompanied by a large band of former Brave Companions, now only dangerous bandits. Shagwell's band includes Timeon of Dorne, Biter, Pyg, and their leader Rorge, among numerous others. They end up involved in a skirmish against another outlaw band consisting of members of the Brotherhood Without Banners. After successfully defeating Stoneheart's outlaws, Shagwell's band torture a survivor and learn from him that Sandor Clegane was with Arya Stark.

Later, always on their way to the eastern coast, Shagwell and his companions reach the inn at the crossroads, where they rape the prostitutes working there and question the innkeeper, who tell them a similar story as the one told by the Brotherhood outlaw: Sandor Clegane was traveling with a child accompanying him. The innkeep tells the brigands that the Hound and the child had been in the inn, where they killed three of Gregor Clegane's sworn men (Polliver, the Tickler, and one of Gregor's squires). Afterward, Rorge kills the innkeep. The band then parts, scattering into more outlaw bands, intending to reach port settlements to leave Westeros: Shagwell, Timeon, and Pyg decide to go to Maidenpool, while Rorge, Biter, and the majority of the band travels toward the town of Saltpans.

Shagwell, Timeon, and Pyg go to Maidenpool to find passage across the Narrow Sea to Essos, but turns they cannot get to the town's harbor. Maidenpool is being occupied by an Iron Throne army of Reachmen and Stormlanders, led by Lord Randyll Tarly, who is ruling Maidenpool and having the large town rebuilt. Unable to get to a ship, Shagwell entertains the citizens at a seedy tavern called the Stinking Goose, where he also buys drinks for sailors, hoping to strike a deal with a sailor to smuggle him, Timeon and Pyg out of Westeros on a ship. The former soldier and war deserter Dick Crabb cons Shagwell into buying a map to the Whispers, a ruined castle that had once been a seat of House Crabb, located on Crackclaw Point in the northeastern Crownlands. Dick tells Shagwell that the ruined Whispers are a popular smugglers' cove, omitting that ships have not been there for thirty years. Conned by Dick Crabb, Shagwell and his two friends pay the man and leave Maidenpool to travel to the Crownlands, eventually reaching the Whispers, only to find it deserted and without any signs of recent habitation. The three outlaws camp in the ruins.

Meanwhile, Brienne of Tarth has been tasked by Ser Jaime Lannister with finding Sansa Stark, who has gone missing during the murder of King Joffrey I Baratheon. As Sansa is believed to be in the company of a fool and jester named Dontos Hollard, Brienne has been going in search for the man, hoping to find Sansa with him. Having reached Maidenpool after failing to track Dontos at the town of Duskendale, Brienne hears the story of a fool who had been performing around in Maidenpool's harbor, who wanted to leave Westeros from a ship. This leads Brienne to believe that this jester on the run is Dontos Hollard (Brienne was not told that Dontos had already been found dead on a boat in Blackwater Bay shortly after King Joffrey's death, despite the fact having been public knowledge in King's Landing). Brienne learns of Dick Crabb boasting of having "fooled a fool", and Dick later agrees to escort Brienne to the Whispers so she can find the fool in question.

Still camping at the Whispers, Shagwell, Timeon and Pyg find the unexpected travelers coming to the ruins, being Dick, Brienne, and Podrick Payne. Hiding himself, Shagwell jumps down from a weirwood above Dick and breaks his knee with his morningstar. Ignoring Dick's pleas for mercy, Shagwell kills him by crushing his face with his weapon. Then he and Timeon begin talking to Brienne in an attempt to distract her while they corner and surround her. They tell Brienne about how she is the reason Vargo Hoat died, as she had bitten off half of his ear that subsequently festered, and how Ser Gregor Clegane easily seized Harrenhal thanks to the fact that the already weak castle had a nearly nonexistent garrison and that one of the cooks opened a gate for the Mountain's men. Shagwell and Timeon go on to tell Brienne about how they heard that Vargo was slowly mutilated and regularly forced into self-cannibalism by the Mountain until the latter killed him. They explain that the Brave Companions no longer exist, with all its former members now split into outlaw bands on the run, specifically mentioning that Rorge's band was considering heading to Saltpans and Urswyck's band was going south to Oldtown, in the Reach and on the western coast of Westeros.

Shagwell and Timeon also tell Brienne that they heard that Sandor Clegane was traveling with a Stark girl (leading Brienne to believe Sansa Stark is with the Hound, as she thinks Arya died back in 298 AC in King's Landing). They mention how two witnesses (the Brotherhood's outlaw and the innkeeper) knew that Sandor Clegane was with a young girl, with one of the two knowing she was a Stark, and how Sandor has been seen traveling in the eastern Riverlands, possibly on his way to leave Westeros across the Narrow Sea with the Stark girl. The testimonies match with the Hound's recent and alleged whereabouts, as the town of Saltpans has recently been raided and destroyed by a vicious band of marauders, who were led by a huge man with the recognizable snarling hound helmet of Sandor Clegane (unbeknownst to Brienne, the butchers of Saltpans were Rorge's band of former Brave Companions who reached Saltpans). The entire Saltpans has been recently wiped off the map in an extremely savage and inhumane raid that is now reviled by the realm as the most brutal atrocity of the War of the Five Kings. This leads Brienne to believe that Sansa Stark is currently with the Hound and the other Saltpans marauders and that might still be in lands nearby.

Then suddenly Shagwell, Timeon and Pyg attack Brienne, only resulting in a fight. As Brienne kills Timeon and Pyg, Podrick throws stone at Shagwell until he yields, once he sees that his friends are dead and he cannot fight Brienne alone. After begging for mercy, Shagwell is forced by Brienne to dig a grave for Dick beneath the weirwood. After he completes the digging, Shagwell lunges at Brienne with a rock, only for her to stab him to death with a dagger, avenging Dick. In his last moments, as he stares at Brienne in shock and fear as he realizes he is dying, Brienne tells him to laugh, since according to Shagwell's humor this is supposed to be funny.

After burying Dick, Brienne returns to Maidenpool with Podrick and Ser Hyle Hunt, who had been secretely tailing Brienne's group throughout the whole journey to the Whispers on Randyll Tarly's orders. Hyle brings the tarred heads of Shagwell, Timeon and Pyg to Lord Tarly, while the three sellswords' headless bodies were left for crows back at the Whispers. Tarly has the three heads mounted on spikes above the gates of Maidenpool.

Brienne has a nightmare involving Shagwell, who is among many other men swarming around her , others including Timeon, Pyg, Randyll Tarly, Vargo Hoat, and Ser Ronnet Connington. They are all invincible as Brienne keeps hacking at them with her sword.

A long time after Shagwell's death, Brienne and her party (Pod, Hyle, Septon Meribald and Dog) are met by Rorge's outlaw band back at the inn at the crossroads, with the place then being almost entirely populated by children orphaned by the war and brought there by Sparrows. While defending those children and confronting the surviving butchers of Saltpans, Brienne manages to goad Rorge into a fight by taunting him that Shagwell claims that Rorge had been previously castrated for his crimes of rape, so now he lacks his manhood, sending Rorge over the edge as he assaults her in blind rage. Whether Shagwell ever said this, or Brienne just made it up, and if this allegation about Rorge is true is unknown.

After being disfigured and nearly killed by Biter, Brienne is haunted by Shagwell in another nightmare during her long and feverish recovery in captivity under the Brotherhood Without Banners. In this dream Brienne is being chased by a naked Biter while begging numerous spectators including Shagwell, Pyg, Timeon, Dick Crabb, Renly Baratheon, and Catelyn Stark, who all watch without intervening while Brienne begs them for her own sword, only for them to keep watching as Biter catches up to her and she cries out for Jaime.

Trivia[]

  • Shagwell is considered one the worst Brave Companions, after Rorge.
  • Shagwell is known by the fanbse as one of the two creepy and disturbing jesters of A Song of Ice and Fire. The other one is Patchface, the fool of Stannis Baratheon, who even terrifies Melisandre, who saw a possibly prophetic vision of him being surrounded by countless skulls.
  • While searching for Sansa Stark, Brienne, after hearing the rumors about the fool in the Whispers, thinks said fool is Dontos Hollard, known to have fled with her. It turns out to be Shagwell. Brienne was unaware that Dontos's dead body was already found on a boat in Blackwater Bay by the Iron Throne.
