Are there any bad Starks?

In history, can you really recall any "bad" Starks? I don't remember reading about any in TWOAIF, and it seems like for every other house there was a crazy person every once in awhile (some houses more than others). Edit: I'm not saying "omg all Starks are saints," I'm just trying to see if there are any notable ones or ones you personally think are bad.

Theon Stark "The Hungry Wolf" for all the Wars in his reign.


The Karstarks are currently bad. They're a shoot off of mainline Starks


The Greystarks were at Wolf's Den until they rebelled with House Bolton.


Eddard Stark killed Lady :eek:


I mean there were probably some "bad" ones but none were anything close to the baddies of today

I'm sure there were. Currently, I'm not positive. Arya seems to be taking a turn for the evil. Whether she stays that way or becomes a true Stark again if she's ever reunited with Nymeria, I cannot say. I hope so though.



I remember the Greystarks that joined the Boltons to overthrow Winterfell. It didn't end well for them. As others have mentioned, the Night's King was said to be a Stark of Winterfell by Old Nan. Old Nan also said that there were those who said the Night's King was a Bolton, but not to believe that, he was a Stark of Winterfell. I tend to believe Old Nan's tales as they seem to come true.



Everyone has skeletons in their closets. No family line is completely pure. Although, I am wondering if the Boltons have always been completely evil.

evil.

So becoming darker means that Arya isn't a true Stark anymore? Absolute Rubbish. First up, Arya is not evil yet. Second all the Stark's are becoming darker, including Sansa and Jon. Does they won't be true Stark's either? And third Bran himself says on the crypts that the rare were good Starks and bad ones, but they were ALL Starks. So even if Arya becomes evil, which I don't think will happen, she'll still be a true Stark and since I believe she'll play an important part in the stark revival, she may even end up being considered a hero to them, even if she does very questionable things. I mean she isn't even in Theon Stark's or Cregan Stark's or the Night's king league yet.

Tryhard and boring actually.

Arya chapters are some of my personal favs. Her evolution is certainly going to play a major role in the story. Plus, she is a rare woman of noble birth that rejects tradition and goes her own way, which incidentally involves becoming a seriously dangerous threat to anyone who stand in her way. The psychology involved in her development is in itself intriguing.
