Before we begin properly, here are a handful of minor characters that spring to mind for having seemingly vanished from the narrative, but who (to me, at least), dont appear to have much of a role to play in the series future, though Id happily be proved wrong. Edric Dayne The Lord of Starfall, Edric squired for Beric Dondarrion but went his separate ways from the Brotherhood Without Banners after Lady Stoneheart took command, and hasnt been seen since. Edric Storm One of Roberts Bastards, Edric was sent to Essos by Davos Seaworth and Maester Pylos to prevent his execution at the hands of Melisandre. Podrick Payne Having served as a travel companion of Brienne Of Tarth, Podrick was set to hang alongside her after being judged to be a Lannister supporter by Lady Stoneheart. He is not present with her when she appears to Jaime Lannister some time later, however. Hyle Hunt In the same circumstances as Podrick Payne. Urswyck One of the few living members of the Bloody Mummers mercenary group, Urswyck and a handful of men are supposedly heading for Oldtown. Stonesnake A member of Qhorin Halfhands patrol, Stonesnake is presumably dead, having been lost in the Skirling Pass, though this is unconfirmed. Dagmer The Ironborn captain Dagmer supposedly continues to hold Torrhens Square, though the current state of the North (mostly split between Stannis Baratheon and Roose Bolton) would suggest that this may no longer be true. Shagga Dismissed by Tywin Lannister after the Battle of The Blackwater, Shagga and the other Mountain Clansmen of the Vale have apparently returned home. Greatjon Umber Though not officially missing, the Greatjon has been held captive since the Red Wedding and seems all but forgotten in the grand scheme of things. Hallis Mollen Tasked with returning Ned Starks bones to Winterfell, it remains to be seen if Hallis was successful in his mission, though it seems unlikely. Olyvar Frey Not present at the Red Wedding because of his loyalty to Robb Stark, it remains to be seen if the insignificant Olyvar will be seen again. Salladhor Saan Having abandoned Stannis Baratheon due to a lack of payment for his services, Salladhor has presumably returned to piracy, unaware that Stannis has now acquired funds from the Iron Bank Of Braavos.
