Whatever happened to that one bastard son of Robert’s, the one that Ned first noticed, with the black hair? Is he dead? I can’t remember. He’s the one that made that wonderful helmet that he wouldn’t sell to Ned Stark.
Gendry. In the show, he’s still rowing his boat. In the books, he was with the Brotherhood as a smithy.
My dream would be for Sam to go to Oldtown (as he does in the book), find an ancient text about forging Valaryian Steel, link up with Gendry (who apprenticed under the only man who could manipulate VS), and start mass-producing the Walker-slaying weaponry.
Long-shot, but it’d be cool.
Gendry was last seen in a rowboat. Melisandre was planning to sacrifice him to the Red God (because of his kings blood), but Ser Davos saved him, put him in a rowboat, and told him to get as far away as he could.
