After Robb Stark left Harrenhal, Qyburn stayed behind serving under Lord Roose Bolton. He tended to Ser Jaime Lannister's badly infected stump. During this Jaime notices that Qyburn is not a Maester, because he isn't wearing a maester's chain of office.

After leaving Harrenhal, Qyburn informs Jaime that the Citadel removed his maester's chain for performing experiments on living humans in order to learn more about their anatomy. He justifies this by noting that he used the information he gleaned from them to save lives. When Jaime then asks Qyburn about Brienne, he states that her father offered Locke a fair ransom three hundred Gold Dragons, which Locke refused to accept due to a previous lie of Jaime's that Brienne came from a wealthier family than she really did. Qyburn tells Jaime that she will most likely serve as entertainment for Locke and his men that night, and be killed thereafter.
