James Steller Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 On the plus side, he was apparently a very noble man who inspired respect and admiration. He was a brave fighter and a lover of education. He was also concerned about Westeros's fate based on his interests in the prophecies.On the negative side, he cheated on his beloved wife with Lyanna Stark, not only breaking his fidelity but also starting a devastating war which ravaged Westeros. It's aftermath then led to even more devastation through the War of the Five Kings and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateVergo Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hard to love/hate him all I can say is that he was a very charismatic character but not really a role model, he ran away/kidnapped a noble lady who was betrothed to another, he left his wife and his childrens behind to fulfill a prophecy and he did pretty much nothing to stop the rebellion, he fought only 1 battle when it was already out of control.

Or the kingdoms at large for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't know. He's more emo than Jon Snow, that isn't even possible. Like father, like son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrocket Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I know he was a badass musician that banged two smokin hot babes. sounds like me in my early 20's when I was in a metal band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen.Sansa.Lannister Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 He certainly made some...ahem..."questionable" decisions, but he sounds fascinating, so I'm gonna have to say I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Steller Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I feel we don't really know enough about him to make a judgment one way or the other. I wonder if GRRM will give us more of an idea about his character in the next book. At the very least i want Howland Reed to show up and reveal what happened at the tower of joy. Though I have a fear that GRRM will kill him before he gets the chance to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salafi Stannis Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Don't know enough about him to love him or hate him. But from what we know he's a pretty great guy all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokymok Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Well.. in the books he has more admirers than detractors, plus his utmost hater is Robert Baratheon, that says a lot.. I like him more than I hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
