Biography
Background
Vardis Egen is a knight in the service of House Arryn. He was captain of Jon Arryn's personal guard in King's Landing and then became captain of the guards in the Eyrie for Robin Arryn and his mother, Lysa Arryn.
Season 1
Vardis leads the group of knights who meet Catelyn Tully and her prisoner Tyrion Lannister before she enters Eyrie.[1] Lysa orders Tyrion imprisoned in the sky cells. Tyrion claims that he wants to confess and then demands a trial by combat. Vardis represents House Arryn, while Tyrion is represented by the sellsword Bronn. Vardis fights dressed in full armor and carrying a large shield. His speed and dexterity were easily outmatched by Bronn, who wore only an armored shirt. Bronn wins by tiring the heavily armored knight. He stabs Vardis in the neck and then pushes him through the "moon door" in the centre of the throne room exposing him to a thousand foot drop.[2]
