Gendry is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of epic fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin and its HBO television adaptation, Game of Thrones, in which the character is portrayed by English actor Joe Dempsie.
First appearing in A Game of Thrones (1996), Gendry is a blacksmith apprentice in King's Landing and an unacknowledged bastard of King Robert Baratheon. He subsequently appeared in A Clash of Kings (1998), A Storm of Swords (2000), and A Feast for Crows (2005). After Queen Cersei Lannister orders the execution of all of the deceased Robert's bastards, Gendry is forced to flee King's Landing alongside Arya Stark under the protection of Yoren, a recruiter for the Night's Watch. He later joins the outlaw group Brotherhood Without Banners, is knighted by its leader, Beric Dondarrion, and becomes a follower of the fire deity R'hllor.
