Theon Greyjoy (Game Of Thrones)

Redemption Story

Theon Greyjoy is one of the important characters in the Game Of Thrones series whose story is one of the most complicated. At the beginning of the series, he lives in Winterfell with the Starks. Indeed, after the Greyjoy rebellion, he was sent there by his father as a sign of good faith and was raised as one of the Starks with a special status. When Ned Stark is executed by Joffrey Baratheon and Robb Stark declares war, Theon is at his side and is sent to his family in good faith to try to convince the Greyjoys to join the Starks. But Theon’s father doesn’t see it that way and sends him instead to try to conquer Winterfell. Which he does, destroying the castle and many of its inhabitants, burning two young children and passing them off as the youngest Stark who have escaped. But he is then captured by Ramsay Bolton, son of Roose Bolton, theoretically on the side of the Starks at that moment. This is where his nightmare begins. He is tortured and broken by the sadistic Ramsay and becomes a servant. It is only when Ramsay is married to Sansa Stark and she asks for Theon’s help that he finally regains his courage and together they escape from the castle to find Jon at the Night’s Watch.
