Afterwards, Ser Amory was paraded through the streets of Harrentown naked, and he is then forced to fight a bear to the death. Biter and Jaqen H'ghar and the Lannister garrison is massacred. Vargo smuggle Northmen into the castle disguised as prisoners, but has them released by Rorge. Amory and Vargo despise each other and Vargo decides to become a turncloak, agreeing a deal with Lord Roose Bolton that will see him named Lord of Harrenhal after the end of the war. Lord Tywin eventually leaves Harrenhal, with Ser Amory Lorch left behind as castellan. Ser Harys is forced to kiss Vargo Hoat as part of the reconciliation. During one specific fight the squire of Ser Harys Swyft is killed, and two Companions are executed as a result, as well as the archer that started the fight by taunting the Companions about their failure to catch Beric Dondarrion. Vargo's men have altercations with the Lannister men whilst at Harrenhal. Arya Stark sees Vargo Hoat and thinks that he is just another of Tywin's monsters. Tywin hopes that the damage they cause will draw King Robb Stark out into the open, although this doesn't succeed. He is tasked with reaving and ravaging through The Riverlands, along with Ser Gregor Clegane and Ser Amory Lorch. Vargo and the Brave Companions are hired by Lord Tywin Lannister after the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings. Despite this appearance he is both shrewd and cunning, as evidenced by the fact that he has managed to stay as the commander of the Brave Companions. Vargo has a perpetually swollen tongue that causes him to lisp and slobber when he speaks, a fact frequently noted by those that encounter him. His coat of arms bears the black goat of Qohor, and he wears a helmet with the horns of a goat.

Each coin is taken from a different location that Vargo has fought, and many display bizarre creatures and locations. One of his notable features is the chain of coins that he wears around his neck. He is described as tall and gaunt, with a goatee that stretches two feet from a pointed chin.
