Lyle Crakehall
Ser Lyle Crakehall, nicknamed the Boar, is a knight of House Crakehall, the second son of Lord Roland Crakehall, who serves in House Lannister's ranks during the War of the Five Kings.
Big, burly, and loud enough to be heard from a distance, he goes from tournament to captivity and from there into the columns Tywin and Jaime Lannister march along the Trident, earning a reputation as a loudmouth rather than a swordsman.
