Ser Robert Strong is the giant knight whom Grand Maester Qyburn brings forward in the closing chapters of A Dance with Dragons as a new sworn brother of the Kingsguard under Tommen I Baratheon, eight feet tall in his enamelled white plate and never seen to eat, drink, sleep, or speak. He has taken a vow of silence, the Hand tells the court, until all the queen's enemies are dead. He is to be Cersei Lannister's champion in her trial by battle before the Faith. The name on his oath is Strong, but the realm has not seen his face, and the singers who have looked upon his height and the breadth of his shoulders whisper of another knight, lately of the Mountain's holding, whose body the maesters were said to have burned.
