Hobber Redwyne

Hobber Redwyne, a knight of House Redwyne from the Arbor, is introduced alongside his twin brother Horas as one of the many knights who ride in the Hand's tourney. The twins, mocked by Sansa Stark and Jeyne Poole as "Ser Horror and Ser Slobber," are homely youths with orange hair and square, freckled faces, and their presence at the tournament underscores the crowded, competitive atmosphere of the event. Hobber's participation in the jousting is brief and unremarkable; he is listed among the riders whose names Sansa and Jeyne recite with excitement, but he achieves no notable victories and is quickly overshadowed by more celebrated champions like the Knight of Flowers and the Kingslayer. Later, during the chaos following Eddard Stark's arrest, Hobber and Horas are seen riding through the streets of King's Landing, their checked cloaks of blue and burgundy marking them as members of the Redwyne household. They gallop past Arya Stark as she makes her way toward the Great Sept of Baelor, their presence a reminder of the shifting loyalties and the gathering of noble houses in the capital. Hobber's role remains peripheral, yet his consistent pairing with his twin and his derisive nickname contribute to the novel's texture of social observation, where even minor figures are given distinct, often unflattering, traits that reflect the gossip and hierarchies of court life.
