Game of Thrones: A Definitive Guide to Who's Still Alive

Brienne first serves as Renly Baratheon's Kingsguard, then swears fealty to Catelyn Stark after Renly dies. Under Cat's orders, she tries to smuggle Jaime Lannister into King's Landing to ensure the safety of the Stark daughters. Her promises puts her in occasional danger, such as when she's thrown into a pit with a bear and nothing but a wooden sword as a weapon and when she gets into an intense brawl with The Hound. However, she's survived them all and has now sworn to protect the surviving Starks.
