shardofNarsil Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Would Stannis have taken Hound into his service after Blackwater or in the north if Hound had come to him . The hound as we see when he was with Arya needs someone to take him into their service , he was even going to serve Robb if RW had not happened.So would Stannis take him as we know Stannis does not have any hate especially for him, also Sandor is the best fighter in seven kingdoms.

Septa Mordane Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Stannis would take all the help he could get, especially after Blackwater Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterKraken Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Also Sandor is the best fighter in seven kingdoms. He is not the best fighter,he is one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevvy Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 If word got to Stannis about what happened in the Riverlands (though we know it wasn't the Hound), then no - he'd more likely hang him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Madam Mim Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 If Stannis cut off Davos' fingers for smuggling, I am not sure I want to think what he would do if he encountered the Hound :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Rhaegel Tarly Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 No. Sandor was a Kingsguard who abandoned his king (Joffrey). Since Stannis is a 'just' king, he would probably have Sandor executed/sent to The Wall for breaking his vows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septa Mordane Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I feel like he would at least give him a chance to prove his loyalty. He pardoned all of Renly's men, provided they swore an oath of fealty, even though they were all "traitors" in his eyes.However, I think Sandor is done with being a glorified bodyguard, whether it's for Joffrey or Stannis or any other king, so it's pretty much a moot point.

Ser Eric Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think he would. Sandor is the kind of guy Stannis would like. Upfront, doesn't beat around the bush and brutally honest, like Davos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drunkard Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I imagine he was included in the list of people Stannis wanted to scour from King's Landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainGhost Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't think the Hound would have wanted to serve Stannis anyway. He only wanted to join Robb because of Sansa. But if he did, Stannis would probably have no choice but to take him on because he needs all the men he can get but he would probably take some fingers or something as punishment for his crimes/being Joffrey's bodyguard etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 At no point in the story has Stannis been in the position to turn away swords. Especially one as renowned as Sandor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HosteenOsteen Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think we will see some of the answer to this in how Theon is treated if both Theon and Stannis survive WInterfell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentyn: Prince of Dorne Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 He'd take him in in his current predicament. He mentioned that service to Joffrey was for honourable men because they believed him to be the true king. If he can forgive Renly supporters, then surely Joff ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Of Thrones Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 After Blackwater: Stannis is in a dire situation after his catastrophic defeat. He has only about twenty hundred men left, and many are poorly trained. He needs every sword he can get, and Sandor is one of the best fighters in Westeros. Also, Sandor is a Westerman and a former member of Joffrey's Kingsguard, so he doubtlessly knows many Lannister secrets. Stannis would take Sandor in, but Pardoned them, yes. Forgiven. But not forgotten. Stannis would never trust Sandor. After he wins Winterfell: Stannis now has thousands of men, and he will have heard of the atrocities in Saltpans, supposedly committed by the ravaging Hound. Even if Sandor is a good swordsman, he's far too infamous for a man like Stannis to spare. Also, killing Cleganes may help his relationships with the Northmen. Sandor is dead.

Pod The Impaler Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Stanis is such a stickler for the rules, he'd not overlook the Hound's act of desertion.Still, if he was curious and wondered what made the Hound quit slaughtering Stannis' very own men, even if forgivable, the answer itself would be problematic: fire.

Stannis is only a stickler for rules when it suits him and it really does not suit him to turn away a good fighter in his present situation.

It doesn't just go to the fact that Sandor is mostly a thug for Joffrey that Stannis wouldn't accept, or that he is a "traitor" to the "king". Both their personalities would would cause so much friction that they could threaten to ignite the vacuum of space if they found themselves there. Not to mention that Stannis knows the personality of the Hound and vice versa, both having lived in King's Landing for many years in the same castle, so we cannot say that Stannis or Sandor would take a chance on an unknown.
