because his sellsword company probably has to fight the ironborn It wouldn't surprise me if they were. They're certainly big enough to carry a person now as Dany demonstrated (even if she is small I got the impression that the dragon was pretty big underneath her) Depends on the type of intelligence. Like Littlefinger is brilliant but I don't think you're going to find more than his captain of the guard who would follow him into a battle lol Some people only know fighting. That may be Vic. Stupid to most things of the world but knows his ships and how to use them.
