Game Of Thrones: What Do Your Favourite Characters Look Like In The Books?

15. Tormund Giantsbane

For all Tormund started as an enemy of Jon Snow, Seasons 5 and 6 have since turned him into a firm fan-favourite, and in the books he's described as "a short but immensely broad man" with a thick, snow-white beard. "Thick gold bands graven with runes bound his massive arms, and he wore a heavy shirt of black ringmail that could only have come from a dead ranger."

While Tormund is clearly a deadly warrior in the books, the first meeting with Jon takes place inside Mance Rayder's tent, with Tormund cheerily devouring an entire greasy hen on a stick. Showing that the power of a cheeky Nando's can even spread beyond the Wall.
