4. The Hound
I'll admit to also loving The Hound. It's difficult not to be won over by his non-nonsense, chicken-chomping ways, but let's accept that he's not a good guy and that there's a LOT of needless butchering. The Hound is a stabby kind of guy, if someone displeases him? Stab. If someone throws a flimsy insult at him? Stab. If someone orders the last chicken before him? I'm guessing, stab. He killed the butcher's boy and bragged about it, and that was just one of the early corpses produced by the King's dog. The Hound did reclaim some sense of humanity after ditching King's Landing, but if there wasn't a ransom fee slapped on Arya's head, he wouldn't particularly care whether she lived or died. The Hound is an ultimate anti-hero, but he should take a lot more hate from the fanbase than he's received.
