Lord of the Onions Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hi everyone, first post here, I did a quick search and it seems this one was not discussed yet...In the books we witness or hear about a lot of death... so which ones of these do you think are the bravest, boldest or most badass? To me Aris Oakheart made a very knightly last ride and deserves to be on the list. It was quiet satisfying to see that the spirit of the KG still exists in some... though if we eventually find out that he was the "someone" who talked, the prestige will drop off a lot! Another impressive one might be Robb's young squire from the westernlands. I think we don't know for sure if he's dead but anyway cutting a few Freys at the RW and diving from the castle will surely earn him some fame. But to me the one and only most badass death in the story occurs after the battle of the BW, when captured Stannis supporters have one last chance to bend the knee. While a lot does, an unnamed knight spits right on Joff: "But no sooner had that one been dragged away than a knight of solemn mien with a fiery heart on his surcoat shouted out, “Stannis is the true king! A monster sits the Iron Throne, an abomination born of incest!”“Be silent,” Ser Kevan Lannister bellowed.The knight raised his voice instead. “Joffrey is the black worm eating the heart of the realm! Darkness was his father, and death his mother! Destroy him before he corrupts you all! Destroy them all, queen whore and king worm, vile dwarf and whispering spider, the false flowers. Save yourselves!” One of the gold cloaks knocked the man off his feet, but he continued to shout. “The scouring fire will come! King Stannis will return!”Joffrey lurched to his feet. “I’m king! Kill him! Kill him now! I command it.” He chopped down with his hand, a furious, angry gesture . . . and screeched in pain when his arm brushed against one of the sharp metal fangs that surrounded him. The bright crimson samite of his sleeve turned a darker shade of red as his blood soaked through it. “Mother!” he wailed.With every eye on the king, somehow the man on the floor wrested a spear away from one of the gold cloaks, and used it to push himself back to his feet. “The throne denies him!” he cried. “He is no king!”Cersei was running toward the throne, but Lord Tywin rema-ined still as stone. He had only to raise a finger, and Ser Meryn Trant moved forward with drawn sword. The end was quick and brutal. The gold cloaks seized the knight by the arms. “No king!” he cried again as Ser Meryn drove the point of his longsword through his chest." So basically we have a man who just had to say what the king wanted to hear to survive but instead, got up and denied the king's legitimacy in the throne room itself in front of the whole court. I wouldn't be surprise if it were a unique deed in the history of Westeros since the Conquest. And moreover Joff gets a bit blooded in the process, which is nice. First time I read this chapter, I thought that with men like this one on his side, Stannis was far from finished and it surely is a highly satisfying moment for every Stannis fan out there!

RedRahloo76 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Its too bad Donal Noye's death occurs off screen but to slay a giant that isnt running away is a feat in and of itself especially when you only have one arm. I stood up and Cheered "YES!" when I read about Tyrion killing Tywin on the privy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the Rock Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Like, in history? The Burning Knight. Present time = Donal Noye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanml82 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The first one, Waymar Royce.Robert Baratheon has his merit, though, by killing the boar after he was ripped apart by it. Going after the boar drunk was a stupid thing to do, so it kind of disqualify him, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Flandrensis Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 You really can't beat one-handedly killing a giant and being crushed in the process for badassery. Donal Noye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Carnahan Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Donal Noye. And the Smalljon, because of what he did to protect Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan_Snow Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Waymar "Dance with me then" Royce. That BAMF stared down a group of Others and went out like a boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dofs Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I can't decide between Donal Noye and Waymar Royce. But both have a death more badass than any other in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Doe Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Waymar "Dance with me then" Royce. That BAMF stared down a group of Others and went out like a boss. Without his sword being destroyed he would have kicked their asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Donal Noye, because we (mostly of us) have two hands and we're not that awesome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Hendrix of Rock Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Beric Dondarrion is most likely, yet nothing like Noye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Pearce Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Waymar Royce. When I first read it i rememeber thinking "This guy is kinda arrogant and annoyi- HOLY SHIT THAT DEATHW AS BADASS" While we don't see their deaths, the one-liners the kingsguard at the Tower of Joy are pretty badass.

Damp Hair - The Prophet Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Donal Noye is the obvious answer.Hobb the Hewer (from TPATQ) jumped on the neck of an angry dragon clenched his thighs like hell, and axed it in the dome til it was dead--thats awefully ballsy.Ser Arys Oakheart met his fate with honor, even if he was a p***y whiped dumby.The (book) Ironborn that chose to to stay and fight and die w/ Theon at Winterfell.
