Floki of the Ironborn Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 For my part, I'm going with Marq Piper and Kayl Vance. Not enough attention is given to these two. They have much the same situation as Beric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr, when you look at it. In the name of protecting their smallfolk, they rode south to King's Landing in order to get Ned's help against the encroaching Lannisters. They then survive a tremendous defeat against the Lannisters, but rather than become demoralised broken men, they rally fifty supporters and proceed to harass and raid Jaime's army for as long as they can. After Robb shows up on the scene, they become among his most prevalent support in the Riverlands. Marq even survives the Red Wedding, which is more than you can say for most of the men who attended those festivities. Here's hoping that they play a role in liberating the Riverlands in the next book.

Alester Florent Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I don't know how underrated he is, but Lothor Brune seems like a fighter to be taken seriously. Non-human and historical, but I have thought for a while that Sunfyre was a properly impressive dragon who punched above his weight in the Dance.

James Steller Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Rolland Storm. The man who single-handedly led the rearguard and allowed Stannis and hundreds of his men to escape King’s Landing. The man who also defied his king to save a boy from death, and who stuck around to face the consequences and got a promotion instead. I can only hope that he survives the siege of Dragonstone to restore House Caron to Nightsong.

Ok too far, those were knights. kissdbyfire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord of Brewtown Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Some good callouts so far. I agree with Andrew the Unsmiling, and Rolland Storm, and could go along with Karyl Vance. I don't think I'd put Marq Piper in the badass category. I think a lot of the other underrated badasses are from the less publicized regions (Dorne and the Iron Isles): I'd say Daemon Sand, Anders Yronwood, Qarl the Maid, and Jason Mallister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Raventree Hall Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Is Davos considered a badass? If he is, I apologize. But Ser Davos Seaworth. He repeatedly does actions he believes are right and then faces the consequences. Davos stands for what he believes in, and does not back down even when most would be afraid, or go with the flow. Ser Robar Royce - Without him, Catelyn and Brienne would most likely be dead, and I think his actions to protect someone he thinks is innocent, but is also essentially his enemy (Catelyn) is extremely honorable.

We didn't all read the Dunk and Egg books?? I am being serious, there are times in which I believe the Dunk and Egg books are the best part of the series (not all the times, but I do freaking love them). And I do think actually they are kind of important-ish to understanding what is going on with (f)Aegon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Iron Emmett is my personal favorite. He's an extremely skilled warrior and one of the few that can beat Jon Snow, in fair combat. He's made a commander at a young age and as far as we've been told is very loyal to Jon and the Watch. Northern Sword 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon of the bloody blade, Theon Stark and the kings of winter that defeated the Warg King, the Umbers and Boltons.

Davos is absolutely a badass, for all the reasons you gave. ”Jared of House Frey, I name you liar” is still one of my all time favourite GRRM moments.
