Character

What do viewers know about the character of a character like Randall Tarley? "Game of Thrones" - a series in which this hero is not given much attention, as in the book. Nevertheless, it is possible to understand that the character's image reflects all the features traditionally attributed to warriors of the Middle Ages. The hero is stubborn, not inclined to compromise, fearless. He (like most of the Lords of Västerås) constantly cares about the good of his house, painfully perceives all that threatens him.

Lord Tarley does not doubt that only war and hunting are suitable for men. Books, music, painting are hobbies that only women can afford to indulge. This is the main reason for his conflict with his eldest son Sam.

A family

Spouse of a harsh warrior for many years now is Melessa Florent. From Sam's memories, it becomes apparent that Randill Tarley loves his wife. In this marriage, three children were born - sons of Sam and Deacon, daughter of Tulla. In the saga "The Song of Ice and Flame", the plot of which served as the basis for the series, the Tarleys have several daughters, but the creators of the show decided to leave behind the "minor" characters.

The first son of Rendill and Melessa was a son who received the name Samwell in honor of one of the glorious ancestors. Initially, Rendill Tarley was happy to have a baby, but his happiness was short-lived. The son grew weak, quiet, inclined to fullness. These qualities of the child did not suit the harsh warrior who wanted to see in Sam a worthy heir to Rogov Hill (the so-called family castle).

During the first few years, Randill Tarley tried to re-educate his first-born, to grow out of him a brave warrior who is the likeness of himself. However, all attempts to change Sam failed. When Melessa gave birth to her husband's second son, named Deacon, Lord Rendill left his older son alone for several years. But on the day of majority of Samwell's father took him with him on a hunt for a serious conversation. He ordered his heir to abandon his claims to Rogov Holm in favor of his younger brother and join the Night Watch, whose brothers do not have the right to own land. In case of disobedience, he promised his son to kill him.

First appearance

As already mentioned, Rendill Tarley is mentioned almost in all the seasons of the series. His name is called such characters as Samvel Tarley, Stanis Baratheon, Davos Sivort. However, for the first time, viewers see the hero only in the middle of season 6 of the "Game of Thrones". This happens when Sam visits Rogov Holm, wanting to leave in the parents' house his beloved Lilly and her little son.

The dinner scene of the Tarley family is still the only episode with Randill in the series. A violent quarrel, which happened during the feast, shows that the conflict between father and Sam has not lost its severity. Senior Tarley still accuses his former heir of cowardice, weakness and unwillingness to fight overweight. As a result, Sam not only does not leave Lilly's parents in the house, but also abducts the family sword "Destroyer Hearts", which was to pass to him by right.
