#balon was trying to diffuse the situation but got distracted by mandon

every baratheon-era kingsguard! yes, even preston greenfield.

further notes/ramble under the cut:

One thing that’s always bothered me about the (mainly Robert’s) kingsguard is the lack of relationships we’re shown. You’re telling me Jaime who has served with Mandon and Preston for over a decade has 0 thoughts or questions about their deaths?? Obviously that’s just grrm underutilizing the potential for character revelation (and comedy) through the relationships within the kg, but the fun thing about it is that I can fill in the blanks, as shown in the diagram above :)

Design notes:

For own my sanity I drew everyone out of armor. The heights aren't set, this was me going "off model" so to speak in order to fit everyone in there lol

Already explained the outfit variations a bit in my kingsguard portraits post, but generally these are my headcanons: tunic designs change over time, usually from king to king (with exceptions like Joff who had a very short reign). Your wardrobe doesn't get updated unless it needs to be (Boros’ rapid weight gain) or you're the lord commander (Jaime, Barristan). 

Arys's cloak is based of the Algerian burnous! The clothes underneath are ones he’s described wearing in his POV.
