3. Brynden 'Blackfish' Tully
Who?: The uncle of Catelyn, Lysa and Edmure burst onto our screens with a display of perhaps the best bowmanship weve seen in Thrones Its a shame it was to set his brother's funeral boat alight. After being labelled the black goat by Hoster Tully, Brynden pointed out that their sigil was a fish and proceeded to take the nickname Blackfish, even adopting it as his personal sigil. Brynden is also a worthy knight who gained fame in the war of the Ninepenny Kings before aiding Robb in his campaign against the Lannisters. Why Should I Love Them?: First off, The Blackfish is a well respected and formidable battle commander who has held positions in the Vale and with Robbs army, but he is also fiercely loyal to his family, as shown by his protectiveness of Cat and his loyalty to Robb. People are constantly going on about talented warriors in the series and names mentioned are Drogo or Jorah or Selmy but where is the love for Brynden? A man who has fought in numerous wars and is revered throughout Westeros, even by the likes of Jaime. The Blackfish is crucially also one of the last stragglers of Robbs army, after surviving the Red Wedding massacre by nipping out to relieve himself. Good timing Hes set to appear again in Season 6.

Most of my time is occupied by reading, staring at a screen, being oppressed by the government and awaiting the return of the Great Old One Cthulhu... I also write a little too.
