Lyn Corbray
On this tab
Ser Lyn Corbray is the heir to House Corbray and the bearer of Lady Forlorn, one of the few Valyrian steel swords left in the Vale of Arryn.
Lord Corbray's second son, he has earned a name as a brilliant swordsman with a short fuse, and it comes up whenever the Vale argues over who truly rules at the Eyrie.
Robert's Rebellion
Early Years
Lyn is the second of Lord Corbray of Heart's Home's sons, between his elder brother Lyonel and the youngest, Lucas.
He won his spurs fighting for House Targaryen against Lord Jon Arryn outside Gulltown, shortly before the war broke out; he was pardoned afterward and ended up joining Arryn against the Targaryens themselves.

Battle of the Trident
At the Trident his father was wounded; Lyn seized the family's Valyrian steel sword and used it to kill the man who had struck the blow.
He then led the charge against the Dornish and cut down Prince Lewyn Martell of the Kingsguard, coming out of it badly wounded himself. That is why Lord Corbray left the sword to him instead of to his firstborn.

In the Vale
Trial of Tyrion
With Jon Arryn dead, Lyn is counted among those circling Lady Lysa for her hand; his squire is Mychel Redfort. He is present when the Eyrie puts Tyrion Lannister on trial.
When Tyrion demands trial by combat, Lyn offers himself as the Vale's champion, but Lysa turns him down. Once Tyrion is freed, it is Lyn who escorts him to the Bloody Gate and warns him never to come back.

Parley at the Eyrie
Later he joins the Lords Declarant in parleying with Petyr Baelish and young Robert Arryn at the Eyrie; Lord Nestor Royce remarks that for nearly half a year Lyn had scarcely left Lady Lysa's side.
Partway through the talks he loses patience and draws on Baelish, breaking guest right; Ser Lothor Brune moves fast, but it is another of the Declarants who talks him into sheathing the blade, and Lyn storms out soon after. Baelish later tells Alayne that Lyn is actually in his service: his job is to feign hatred of him, join every plot against him, and report back on all of it.

Description
Appearance and Character
He is slender and striking to look at, with brown hair down to his shoulders and a loose lock falling over his forehead.
He is reckless and quick-tempered, something that has already shown in front of others more than once.
