The Shy Wolf Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Donal Noye. Not many one armed men can take down The King of the Giants.Podrick Payne for obvious reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsufficientFunds Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Quentyn Martell. For obvious reasons. Even though foolishness is often mistaken for bravery and vice versa, I believe quentyn's act was a mix of both. And in my opinion it takes a fool to be brave. Gonna miss that spunky prince, was rooting for him all the way. Even crossed my mind he was the one who would be born in salt and fire... But who knows tWoW will tell all in 5~7 years.

juliovn Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 So many brave characters it's hard to pinpoint who's the bravest. Anyway, one brave character that is definately worth mentioning is Jaime, I know he said a lot of times that he's not afraid of death, but in my opinion no man is not afraid when facing death, which he did, many times. To start learning swordplay again with his left hand also took a lot of courage, I guess. Many other examples too such as the Brienne in the pit thing, rescuing his brother from the dungeons, telling him the truth, challenging basically every knight in the realm for a x1 hahaha. I think another character who has shown some balls lately is Bran, I'm mid ADWD so I don't know if he chickens out at the end, but going so far in the north like that it's crazy, I wouldn't do it.

Knight of Ashes Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I don't think that he expected to be a hero. He wasn't that naive. He was pissed off at Ned's reaction, because he expected some (well deserved) grattitude from the man whose father and brother he had avanged. Jaime also saw a "lord's judgement" in Ned's eyes in regards to him breaking his kingsguard oath; a part of Jaime always agreed with Ned which is why he is haunted by Aerys. oh and in regards to the topic I'll go with anyone who gets up in the morning to face another day in Westeros.

Spearwife262 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Well, there are the characters that you've all already listed like Jaime, Nedd, Jon. They are mostly warriors, with at least some training..The person that really surprised me with his bravery was definitely Tyrion in the fight of the Blackwater. A dwarf, filling in a position of the Hand untill his father is back from war, with very little or no expirience in real fighting, leading the attack and the knights that didn't run away? He's highborn, he could've been out of King's Landing in a blink of an eye, but he made a decision to stay; well, that's a crazy mixture of braveness and daddy issues, if you ask me! :drunk: :drunk: :drunk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Fang Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Yeah, except he totally dismantled the five armed guards without breaking a sweat. Something he knew he could do. And if he didn't think he could take Meryn with naught but a wooden sword then why wouldn't he have picked up one of the five swords on the ground around him? Either he had an unnecessary deathwish or he knew(thought) he could handle Meryn without any trouble. Either one takes away form the super-bravery factor. As far as I can tell he didn't pick up one of he guards because he had literally no idea how to use one. He was a water dancer and had probably never touched a knight's longsword, except via his own blade, so picking one up would have actually hurt his chances, the required styles are completely different.

Defengar Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Pretty much serr baristan when he does anything imo.The guy is on the bad side of 65 and still kicking ass. He reminds me of John Marshal irl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Oncoming Storm Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Davos too, always telling the truth, even when it would be wiser to keep silent. He calls out everyone on their bullshit, and it somehow works. And when he slipped through the blockade? That man is pure badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhudsui Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 No one wants to mention the hand after connington? That guy threw his hand away in disgust rather than be a party to an evil plan. He told someone who was violent and dangerous that he was evil and that he would have no part of his evil, despite the physical consequences that might arrive from it. To me that is far more brave than 99% of whats been listed, most of which seemed to be the sort of typical "jump on a grenade" sort of thing. His name was Lord Qarlton Chelsted, and considering this proves him braver than Barristan Selmy, Arthur Dayne, Jaime Lannister, Gerold Hightower and the rest of Aery's Kingsguard all put together, yeah, I'd say he's in the running.

Versalin Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Jaime Lannister for his attempt to rescue Brienne from the bear pit even though he lost his sword hand. Also his killing of mad king Aerys which earned him the dubious Kingslayer title. Aerys was obviously mad and destructive towards the end, so it must've taken Jaime some measure of courage to risk his reputation and put an end to Aerys before he could destroy King's Landing.

Aerys was obviously mad and destructive towards the end, so it must've taken Jaime some measure of courage to risk his reputation and put an end to Aerys before he could destroy King's Landing. The Lannister troops were already inside the walls of KL and the one responsible for igniting the wildfire, Lord Rossart, was already killed by Jaime before going to Aerys.

Lord Damian Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Syrio in his defence of Arya simply to buy her time to hopefully escape was pure courage when he was merely her teacher, not like a sworn sword or official bodyguard or anything like that. Barristan Selmy, although he was merely carrying out what he was sworn to do, except no one could do it well as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkh Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I think real bravery is not caving to social pressures, as well as situational acts of heroism.Based on that, I give my votes to:Rickard KarstarkGarlan TyrellPodBrienneSandor Clegane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobey3149 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Syrio by far. He went up against six guys armored and a knight with only a wooden training sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattered Prince Pumpkinn Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Nobody beats my man Tyrion in terms of bravery. A dwarf would think twice about fighting against bigger man. But we've already seen Tyrion do just that since GOT. At first during his captivity by Catelyn. He fought against their ambushers. Then the battle at Blackwater in COK. He lead the King's landing against Stannis. Slapping a king? Killing his own father? Wow. just remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
