Game of Thrones, Episode 1: Winter is Coming
Robin Arryn’s Role in the Episode
Robin Arryn does not appear physically in the episode but is mentioned once in passing. His role is limited to being referenced by Catelyn Stark, who asks about the well-being of Lysa Arryn and her son after the death of Jon Arryn. This mention serves as a minor piece of world-building and a subtle reminder of the Arryn family's existence, but it does not have any direct effect on the story at this stage.
Impact Rating: 0.5/10
- World-Building – Robin’s mention helps establish the Arryn family and hint at their importance in the larger political landscape.
- No Presence – He does not appear on-screen, nor does he influence the events of the episode in any way.
- No Plot Advancement – His existence is acknowledged, but he has no impact on the story’s direction at this point.
Final Score: 0.5/10 - Robin Arryn’s mention is purely incidental and serves only to remind viewers that he exists. His role in the story has yet to begin.
