Raised as Dunk in Flea Bottom, Duncan became the squire of the hedge knight Arlan of Pennytree. Duncan then traveled the Seven Kingdoms as a hedge knight himself, with the young Prince Aegon Targaryen, called "Egg", as his squire. The early exploits of "Dunk and Egg" are chronicled in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which collects The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight.

Duncan is an inch shy of seven feet tall.[1][3] He has thick, shaggy hair, that is sun-streaked in the summer.[2][3] After the events at Standfast in 211 AC, he has a dagger scar on his cheek.[2][3] Dunk is strong and quick,[1] and has been taught jousting and swordplay.[1] He is better with a sword than with a lance,[3] and even better with an axe or mace.[2]

Duncan has a humble personality, and frequently thinks of himself as thick-headed, recalling how Ser Arlan had often said "Dunk the lunk, thick as a castle wall", and referred to him as "slow as an aurochs"

Duncan's earliest memories were of living as a street urchin in the Flea Bottom slums of King's Landing.[1] His closest friends went by the names of Ferret, Rafe, and Pudding. By his own admission, they were "little monsters" with Duncan, at the time still known as "Dunk", the worst of all.[3] Sometimes they would sell[2] or even dump[3] pieces of meat of dubious origin to the local pot shops that made the bowls of brown.

Duncan was an orphan,[1] and never knew either of his parents.[2] It may be that he is a bastard.[2] He believed his father might have been a criminal, and once hoped to someday go to the north and eventually the Wall, where he could perhaps meet some tall old man who looked like him.[2] The hedge knight Arlan of Pennytree took Duncan as his new squire about two years[N 1] after the death of his previous squire, Roger of Pennytree, during the final battle of the First Blackfyre Rebellion in 196 AC.[2] He found the young Duncan, aged five or six,[1] in King's Landing chasing a pig and took him on.[3] He raised Duncan and together they traveled all over Westeros, except the north.[2] Though they never visited Pennytree, where Arlan was from,[3] they served Lord Leo Tyrell at Highgarden during one of the first few years that Duncan served Ser Arlan,[1] visited King's Landing in 205 AC,[3] served Lord Florent for half a year and joined Lord Dondarrion in the hunt for the Vulture King, both in 206 AC,[1] and visited Lannisport in 208 AC,[1] amongst other places. As well, Duncan accompanied Arlan when he was one of several knights hired by a Dornish merchant who wanted to travel from Lannisport to the Prince's Pass in Dorne.[2]

Duncan learned sword-fighting from Ser Arlan,[1] though he still recalls his fighting experience from Flea Bottom as well.[1][2] Ever since the first time that Arlan had let Duncan hold a sword, Duncan had dreamt of becoming a Kingsguard knight.[3]

Because Dunk grew up as an abandoned orphan in the streets of King's Landing he wasn't sure exactly how old he was, and his unusually large height from a young age made it difficult to guess. By 209 AC he loosely thought he must be about 16 or 17 years old, which would place his birth somewhere between 191 to 193 AC.[1]

In 209 AC, a tourney was to be held at Ashford. Arlan died on the way to Ashford, and after Duncan had buried him, he decided to compete in the tourney at Ashford Meadow in Arlan's stead. On the way he stopped at an inn. Inside, Duncan met a drunken man who claimed to have dreamed about Duncan, and who became distraught at the sight of him. Duncan also met a bald-headed boy, who begged him to be allowed to become Duncan's squire when Duncan left. Duncan refused, left, and shortly thereafter arrived at Ashford. Duncan made camp, and that evening discovered the bald boy from the inn at his camp, who claimed to be called "Egg" and said he came from King's Landing, causing Duncan to believe the boy is an orphan from Flea Bottom, just like Duncan had been. Because he does not have a squire, Duncan accepted Egg as his squire for the duration of the tourney.

Upon arriving in Ashford, Dunk looks at the huge camp set up around the castle by the various knights and merchants. He then makes his way to Lord Ashford's castle, and asks the soldier to lead his to the master of games. The guards lead him to Plummer, who asks Dunk what he wants from him. Dunk says he's a knight, and awkwardly introduces himself as "Ser Dunk". When Plummer shows himself doubtful, Dunk tries to convince him Ser Arlan knighted him by showing his sword, but the master of games doesn't see it as a proof. In the end, Plummer takes pity on Dunk and tells him that if he wants to enter, he must find a knight entered in the tournament who would remember Ser Arlan.[2]

Dunk then tries to find Ser Manfred Dondarrion, with whom Ser Arlan fought in the past. However, the prostitutes next to his tent tell him that he's asleep, and mock his hedge knight status. They then tell him he will have to wait if he wants to speak to the Dondarrion knight.[2]

With his horses, Dunk passes by the training grounds, where Steffon Fossoway trains with his cousin Raymun. After seeing him, he asks Dunk if it's a sword he's wearing. Dunk answers clumsily, and after this encounter, decides to set up camp away from others. He chooses a spot of nature next to a steam, ties up his horses and takes a bath. Washed, he returns to camp riding Sweetfoot.[2]

Dunk goes back to the Dondarrion tent, but is dismissed again as Ser Manfred is still sleeping. He then goes to a puppet show, where the troop showcases a dragon replica, and finds himself attracted by the beauty of the puppeteer Tanselle. Right after the show, he crosses path with Raymun Fossoway, who apologizes for encouraging him to fight his cousin Steffon. He then asks Dunk if he's hungry, and leads him to Lyonel Baratheon's tent, where a feast is being held. Dunk enters, and finds a seat at one of the tables. He listens to Lyonel Baratheon's short speech, before enjoying the food. As he was watching the dancers with a tartlet in hand, he's called up by Lyonel Baratheon. He heir of Storm's End is impressed by his stature, and advises him to stand up straight. He then asks what he is doing here empty handed. Dunk answers he's here for dinner, making Lyonel laugh. Pleased by his honesty, he invites him to dance.[2]

Several hours later, Dunk and Lyonel are speaking at a table, Dunk wearing Lyonel's crown.

Duncan is twenty.

---

Lyonel had black, curly hair, with grey highlights, and blue eyes like his ancestors from House Baratheon. He also has a small beard.[5] He was tall and powerfully built,[5] a "swaggering giant of a man".[3] Lyonel is described as being a head taller than Ser Raymun Fossoway and almost as tall as Ser Duncan the Tall,[1] who was measured at 6'11". Lyonel himself is 6'3. Lyonel is currently the heir to House Baratheon.

Lyonel Baratheon, known as “the Laughing Storm,” is portrayed as a man of immense presence—physically powerful, emotionally direct, and driven by a fierce sense of honor. As Lord of Storm’s End, he embodies many of the traditional Baratheon traits: boldness, pride, quick temper, and deep loyalty. Yet beneath his bluster lies a straightforward, almost blunt simplicity in how he views the world—friends and foes are clearly defined, oaths matter, and slights must be answered.

He is charismatic and larger-than-life, given to laughter as readily as to anger. His nickname reflects both his booming humor and the sudden violence of his wrath; like a storm, he can shift quickly from jovial to formidable. He enjoys contests of strength and arms, and he carries himself with the confidence of a seasoned warrior who expects to be obeyed.

At the same time, Lyonel is not cruel or calculating. His actions are rooted less in ambition than in personal pride and family honor. When offendednhe reacts decisively and publicly. Yet he is also capable of reason when confronted honorably. He respects courage in others and responds to straightforward negotiation more readily than to manipulation.

In tourneys, Lyonel wore a cloth-of-gold surcoat bearing the crowned stag of his house. He also had an antlered helm.[1] Lyonel had the habit of laughing loudly at his opponents, as well as in general, which earned him his nickname of "the Laughing Storm", and made him a great favorite of the smallfolk.[1] Lyonel was considered one of the finest fighters of his day,[1][3] and was famed for his prowess in battle.[2] Lyonel brought glory to House Baratheon.

While a tourney is being held in Ashford, Lyonel Baratheon hosts a feast in his pavilion. He speaks up, questioning who created jousting, but does not finish his speech and instead kicks off the festivities. During the feast, Dunk gains his attention with his large size. Lyonel calls him over, and advises him to stand up straight to do justice to his stature. Following this exchange, the two men dance in the middle of the crowd.[3]

A few hours later, visibly drunk, Lyonel and Duncan are talking at the table, the latter wearing Lyonel's crown. When Duncan tells him of his concerns about the tournament, and asks what chances he has, Lyonel answers he has no chance.

Lyonel is forty.
