Ser Arryk Cargyll and Ser Erryk Cargyll are identical twin brothers who served as knights in the Kingsguard of King Viserys I Targaryen. The pair both joined the Kingsguard at the age of 18.
In the book Fire and Blood, Ser Erryk serves as a personal protector of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) and is with her on Dragonstone when her father King Viserys dies.
Following the death of King Viserys, the pair set out on a mission for the Hand of the King, Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), to find Aegon Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) so as he can be placed on the throne.
By this point, Erryk believes Aegon is unfit to rule and unsuccessfully attempts to convince Arryk to defect with him.
While the pair of them eventually find Aegon, they're interrupted by Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) and Prince Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) who have been instructed to find Aegon for Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) rather than Otto. Criston and Arryk fight, but Erryk abandons his brother.
At the beginning of season 2, the brothers are completely divided and on opposite sides with Arryk seen on King Aegon's Kingsguard, while Erryk serves Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy)
