Tommen Giantsbane.

He is probably the most honorable wildling we have encountered yet. Hard as nails and has a great sense of humor.

For that matter Moqorro himself is pretty badass. Stands up in the storm, hangs around on a piece of wreckage for 10 days, sets a guy's arm on fire to heal him, etc. I had this theory he was Marwyn in a glamour but I don't think the timelines match up.
I was just thinking the same thing myself....that guy had to turn up somewhwere. I'll have to recheck the timeline though. Also, who knows who he really is or what he's capable of.

I remember the moment I became a Victarion fan.

He had just taken a slaving ship on his way to get Dany. He gave the women to his men as saltwives and then threw the powdered man slaves dressed in feminate clothing overboard because, ostensibly, they were girlish and offended his sensibilities.

I put the book down and laughed for a good minute.

I'm not sure why fighting the king of the giants in a cave with one arm doesn't get you on this list?????
Or maybe it was because he knew he would probably die and went anyway.

Wyman Manderly facts:

Lord Manderly eats steak for every single meal. Most times he forgets to kill the Frey.

Lord Manderly invented Kentucky Fried Chicken's famous secret recipe, with eleven herbs and spices. But nobody ever mentions the twelfth ingredient: Frey.

Lord Manderly is 1/8th Frey. This has nothing to do with ancestry, every 8th meal the man eats one of fucking Lord Walders brood.

Lord Manderly is a vegetarian. Meaning, he does not eat Freys until first he puts them into vegetative state with his fists.

Lord Manderly kills anyone that asks, "You want Freys with that?" because by now everyone should know that Wyman always wants Freys. With everything. Ever.

Lord Manderly likes his ice like he likes his Freys: crushed.

Lord Manderly once ate a whole cake before his friends could tell him there was a Frey stripper in it.

Lord Manderly once ate a whole Fat Walda Frey to show a group of third graders how badass he is.

Lord Manderly once bench pressed Westeros. He then found himself with an enormous appetite, so he decided to eat Fat Walda Frey. Alive.

Lord Manderly once got into a fight with a Frey after the Frey stole his ice cream.Lord Manderly then grabbed the Frey, bit him in half and spat the Frey's remains into a sleeping baby’s face.

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know when Lord Manderly is going to eat you.

When Lord Manderly laughs too hard while drinking lemonade, he accidentally shits a lemonpie.

Lord Manderly could eat all the Freys with one hand, while taking a piss with the other.

oh god, i laughed for about 5 straight minutes. Lord Manderly was freakin awesome in this book

Good Badass:
Jon - for the "Edd, fetch me a block."
Arya - for the "How many? How many? How many?"
Barristan - for quitting like a boss (GoT), and he trying to get Drogon's attention in the Daznak's Pit.
The Hound - him saying "Let him be" to his big bro during the Hand's Tourney, and he fighting Beric with his flaming sword.
The Red Viper - he fought the Mountain!
Blackfish - he escaped Jaime and his men!
Bronn - what's not to like?

Badass Losers: Daario, Vic, Ramsay, Gregor

Hmmm. For me it's a tie between:

Greatjon:Loses 2 fingers and cracks a joke about it.

Shagga: He likes axes.

Arya: How many has she killed now?

Victarion: He's also freeing slaves.

In no particular order (for the record, I think some of you are confusing "badass" with "extremely violent"):

Manderly (Loved the facts, by the way).
Daario.
Khal Drogo.
Tormund Giantsbane.
Robert (let's face it, from the way they always talk about him, he must have been quite a badass in his youth).
The Hound.
Bronn, man.
The Greatjon.
The Blackfish.
Donal Noye.
The Halfhand.
Davos.
Jaquen H'gar.
Osha.
Asha.
Crow's Eye.
Strong Belwas.
Brienne.
Darkstar.
Oberyn Martell. And his Snakes too.
Arya in a couple of years, and I'm also placing my bets on a grown up Rickon.

I can't believe in this long thread there is only one mention of Thoros of Myr.  While definitely not the biggest badass in the series, he's a pretty bad ass.  He was first into the breach at Pyke, was the one person who could drink King Robert under the table, won the melee at the Hand's Tourney despite being a drunken fat man, ran around kicking ass with the BwB, and has no problem raising a dude form the dead six times.  Oh, and when he fought, it was with a sword that was on fire.  And because he used wildfire, the swords would melt, so that means he was running around fighting with a bunch of molten steel.  Simply put, that's pretty badass.  Maybe not as badass as Ser Barristan, but badass nonetheless.

Oh, and lots of people have been pointing out that Victarion has yet to actually fight when he has not had a huge numerical and talent advantage, so he has not really proven himself a great naval officer.  The fact that Stannis beat him in the rebellion is pretty legit for Stannis, though.  And when people keep saying that Victarion hasn't raped anyone, he's constantly having sex with what is essentially a slave - while it's possible that the Dusky Woman wants to be locked in his bedroom and taken by him, I really doubt it.  And the freeing the slaves, that's a joke - he's freeing the slaves but making them thralls, which means they're going from being slaves to being the closest thing you can be to a slave without actually being one.  When/if he defeats the navy outside of Meereen, then maybe he can get some respect, but until then, he's kind of lame and definitely a dick.
