Crown Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Theon has grown on me during Clash, the struggle between Robb and Balon, quite interesting. I hope he lives, and dies heroically. Argh, that's just wishful thinking, Ramsay will catch him and doggy-style him to death, yeah, disgusting, be we know GRRM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faceless Sam Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 to complete his arc in a traditional fashion he would need to end his now tormented life while saving that of others in the process.cant see that happening though.maybe he'll survive till the end, taking up a quiet life in woods of the north?

Budj Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I personally think that Theon is more entrenched in the old gods than even he realizes. I still think he has a part to play - although I'm not sure to what capacity. Jaime's maiming spurred an evolution in his character I think Theon will do the same. And as the mill boys were savaged by Reek I'm not sure how much Theon had to say about the matter? Anyone have any clearer recollection on how much Theon actually played a part in it? Part of me wants to think that Reek/Ramsay did it and since it was already done Theon just agreed to use them as fill in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faint Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Theon’s sacrificial death at the weirwood will be the price paid for Jon’s life.I’m hesitant about this possibility given that a great deal went into laying out the groundwork for overturning the king’s moot in one of Asha’s chapters.

AvengerofWinterfell Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 well in all likelihood he's already an eunuch so if he survives...may as well head to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeRuiner Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I’m hesitant about this possibility given that a great deal went into laying out the groundwork for overturning the king’s moot in one of Asha’s chapters.That's what I came to say! It seems fairly obvious that Theon is Asha's trump card to overthrow Euron. By then, many Ironborn might be fed up with Euron's particular brand of leadership and with his ambitions, and they would gladly choose to vote for Theon, with Asha being the equivalent of his Hand.

Old Man Aegon Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 He wil be used to make the kingsmoot invalid and make them have a new one when Eurons support have weakend. He will not be choosen but Vic or Asha might be and after that I hope he gets to die a warriors death or actually becomes castellan of winterfell (yes, Theon fan here.).

Pommes Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Why shouldn't Theon be choosen to become King of the Ironislands? He just needs one heroic thing and the Ironborn will follow him. He is the rightful heir and most of the Ironborn probably thinks that attacking Winterfell was bold and surviving all of this very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theon's brothers treated him like shit before Winterfell and then his father treated him like shit after Winterfell. Then came Ramsay:( Theon's suffered enough and deserves a home of his own before he dies. Jeyne and him both deserve some peace and solace and I hope they find it with each other.

Jamie Lannister Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If things proceed "smoothly" (which they may not), an execution at Stannis's hands isn't too terrible a fate. It's a cleaner end than Theon's given a fair few other people, at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO thank and hopefully Wyman an branwill have a say in the matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'M not.IMO they look more for the presence of a positive than absence of negative. Ironborn don't seem the type to be moved by triumph-of-the-human-sprit stories.

Sansouci Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Whether Bran or Rickon show up or not, he will burn in R'hllor's fires. He is after all the son of a king. But I believe he will do something that will allow him to die with a sense of having regained his dignity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His guilt ove the men, women and children (the Miller's boys) he has betrayed will make him feel unworthy. I think he would accept the fires of R'hllor (sic) in order to make amends.

Steve26 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I think hes going to end up dying while saving someone else, or judging by the other character endings in these books, he'll get his head cut off or something out of nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumatil Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I believe poor Theon's ships are well and truly burned (no pun intended, but if it works for you, eh). The culture of the Ironborn only values strength. Theon had trouble fitting in with them when he was whole and healthy, if he returned to the Islands he'd be a complete outcast and even more of a figure of mockery than he was before. (This is assuming that there are Ironborn to go back to after the Euron debacle.) There's no one left of his foster family, he let enemies into his childhood home and caused it to be sacked and burned. He's hated in the north. He's known as a turncloak and a kinslayer throughout Westeros. His sister is the only person who would take him in but she's a prisoner himself. Death would be a release for him.Kinslayer?Even if the boys he killed were his bastards, people probably wouldn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyful Union Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The best scenario I can envisage for Theon is that Wyman Manderly proves that the Starks are alive, and Theon is sent to the Wall., to live out his days as a steward.More likely is that Stannis will execute him to please the northmen.
