Now the legitimised son of Roose Bolton, Ramsay is much more of a bastard now hes officially no longer one. Weve already seen him torture Theon to the point where he abandons his identity and meekly accepts his new one as Reek, including flaying and castration, and he takes enormous pleasure in doling out his sick brand of torment. He took that up another level this year, as he became the main villain of the show in season 5. Married to Sansa Stark, he made her life even more of a living hell, keeping her locked in a chamber during the day, and raping her at night. When it looks like she might have hope of escape, he flays the woman who offered it, and shows his wife the fleshy remains. Hes a total psychopath, one who kills and tortures purely for sport, and enjoys inflicting mental anguish on his victims just as much as physical pain. Hes also a very skilled tactician when it comes to fighting, as evidenced by his defeat of Stannis Baratheon, and is perhaps the worst (but also the best) villain on Game of Thrones to date.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
