Character Review: Roose Bolton

Lord Roose Bolton was the Lord of the Dreadfort and the head of House Bolton, the former ruling Great House of the North after usurping the position from House Stark. He was the father of Ramsay Bolton, his legitimized bastard, and an unnamed newbornbaby from his wife, Walda Frey.
During the War of the Five Kings, Roose serves King in the North Robb Stark as one of his top generals. However, they disagree quite often due to various tactical and political differences. He later betrays and murders Robb at the Red Wedding after allying with House Frey and House Lannister when the war turns against them. Roose is appointed the new Warden of the North by King Joffrey Baratheon on Tywin Lannister's orders as a reward for killing Robb and ending the conflict. Roose later rebuilds Winterfell and makes it his home and to further strengthen his hold on the North, he has his bastard son Ramsay Bolton legitimized and weds him to Sansa Stark, while he marries Walder Frey's granddaughter, Walda, and impregnates her. After Sansa escapes with Theon Greyjoy, Roose contemplates disinheriting Ramsay for his carelessness in favor of his legitimate baby son, but he is betrayed and murdered by his own son, who goes on to kill Walda and the baby as well.
After that Ramsay goes on becoming the Warden in the North taking power from his father. In this way, Roose Bolton's life ends leaving his soul wander for power even after his death. He can be seen as another person, just like Petyr Baelish, who has a great hunger for power. Anyhow, both of them dies.

Character Review: Tormund Giantsbane

Tormund, often called Tormund Giantsbane, is a renowned leader and raider among the Free Folk and one of the key leaders behind Mance Rayder. Tormund respected Mance as the King-Beyond-the-Wall and suspected he was the man to lead them through the Long Night. But as time passes and Mance is killed on the orders of Stannis Baratheon, he believes the prophesied warrior is his enemy-turned-friend Jon Snow. Tormund Giantsbane is an extremely fierce and determined man and a born warrior of the Free Folk in almost every way. Aside from his excellent fighting skills and monstrous strength, Tormund is a supremely intimidating individual who immediately asserts that his enemies should be afraid of him, which he does in his first encounter with Jon Snow, stating that men similar to Jon have met their ends trying to end Tormund's life in combat. Tormund is clearly hugely respected among his people, as evidenced by the immense responsibilities p...

Rob Stark and Theon Greyjoy

When you will describe these two characters you will obviously notice a great difference in both of them. One is: one of the friends is loyal to another one but another one is disloyal. It’s similar to saying that a Wolf’s in a Sheep’s clothing. George R. R. Martin is very creative in portraying the betrayal of Theon Greyjoy, the only living true son of Baelon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands, to his best friend Robb Stark. Robb Stark and Theon Greyjoy both were grown together in the Winterfell. Theon was brought by Ned Stark to Winterfell after the Robert’s army killed every living son of Baelon Greyjoy. Robb was pre-destined to be the Lord of Winterfell and the Warden of the North while Theon would only serve Robb as a loyal companion. Further, as the story progressed Ned Stark was kept as a captive for being a traitor on a false charge of committing crime against the crown. Robb Stark got angry about the news. He remembered how his Grandfather and Uncle were burned by the Mad King...

Character Review: Janos Slynt

Janos Slynt can be seen as a man who is very proud of his power. He commanded the city watch when he was in the King's Landing and then he was transferred to the Night's watch. In Night's watch he was a close adviser to Ser Alliser Thorne, the acting Lord Commander after Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's death. Janos Slynt can be seen as someone who do not take orders and who is proud of what he did some years ago in the city. He even thought that he deserved a better respect than any other looters, theives, or any high-born on the Night's watch. Further, Janos Slynt, at an occasion, denied the command from Lord Commander Jon Snow and faces his death. Anyhow we can say that it was a good end for a bad character. To recapitulate, Janos Slynt met a perfect death which was suitable for his character.
