Garbet Yel

The first Warlord King, Garbet Yel rose to the Iron Throne during the chaos of the Warlord Years. The young king lasted just under five years, his death signalling the beginning of the Great Bleeding.

History
Joining Robert Baratheon's army as an infantry commander, Garbet fought during Robert's Rebellion and soon found himself promoted higher and higher. The Mad King's Slaughter left Robert's army scattered, with many returning home or fleeing into the countryside. Those that stayed found themselves under the command of Garbet, who quickly lay siege to King's Landing. The defenders soon began falling to famine, and the city was stormed. Garbet ordered the execution of Cratter Waters, becoming the King himself.

Before his fifth year on the throne could come, Bandit Lord Warne Rivers began raiding the Riverlands. Riding out to meet the provocation, he was defeated and killed at the Battle of Harrenhal.
