Brandon Ice-Eyes Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Link to his wiki: https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Theon_Stark The Hungry Wolf So from my point of view, he was a great king. Ruthless, Cruel and a brilliant commander - perfect for what house stark needed at the time. Yet I’m curious, what’s everyone opinion on him? A cruel tyrant who went way too overkill on the andals and left the north vulnerable with his attack on andalos and endless wars against the ironmen, andals, Vale and wildings or military genius who personified the ‘Ends justify the means.’ Leave your thoughts down below, Thanks.

LindsayLohan Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 A hard man for hard times. The sort of old King of Winter that terrified his enemies and united his vassals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euron III Greyjoy Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 He's my favourite historical Stark, just everything about him seems so badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah haha definitely not a guy to cross, wish we could learn more about the kings of winter as I doubt he’s a one off with his ruthlessness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrm has really drilled in the saying that the kings of winter were hard men in hard times and he as you said certainly personified the saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sidious Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I don't like him. He is what Rickon will become. The Hungry Wolf is too much like Jon, Arya, and what I predict Rickon will become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya yes, and I certainly imagine Rickon becoming the new Hungry Wolf when he finally returns from Skagos. It’d be interesting to see Rickon try to come to terms with that after the Others have been defeated and the fighting is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunland Lord Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 If it wasn't for him Andals would've conquered the North, destroy the weirwoods and infect the region with their nonsense customs. Theon Stark is a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moiraine Sedai Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Theon Stark practiced the first night and was probably sacrificing Innocents to his tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one would love to read about Rickon defending the North and driving off all threats and forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the Starks far more interesting than most other families - we've bonded! - so stowing him and Benjen away for 4.5 books while we get Quentyn Martell, etc., is just disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Newman Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It depends on who you like. He's okay if you like the north and hate the Andals. Theon Stark would make Roose Bolton look like the poster boy for the Humane Society. Hungry wolf was an extremely savage brute. He did what his people wanted him to do. He kept the Andals out. So if you can admire Vlad The Impaler because he pushed the muslims back frm his lands then I assume you can like Theon Stark. He was Vlad The Impaler of the north. I am sure those among us who like the Starks and their culture will have a positive opinion of this man. I don't find anything wrong with the north getting Andalized and the Old Gods getting supplanted by the Seven. The north and their religion are a very blood and extremely savage culture. The Andals are violent by our standards of today but they are far softer than the First Men. The Seven is less savage than the human-sacrificing followers of the Old Gods. Theon Stark is not admirable from my view point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
