In a very dark world, it’s just about the only bright spot, as Tyrion would happily tell you while drunkenly nuzzling several prostitutes.Īs an admirer of Game of Thrones’s more primal pleasures, I rewatched every moment of nudity and sex (including more incest than anyone asked for)* on the show so far-all 79 of them-and ranked them based on narrative value. I love how complex his character is and just how bad he can be. You need something to break up all the beheading, impaling, and disemboweling. This is a fan video for Theon Greyjoy to the song Behind Blue Eyes (the Limp Bizkit version ). And sex is often a relief-for the characters and the viewers. The showrunners are not above giving us some Emilia Clarke fan service to keep our attention while guy-whose-name-we-can’t-remember rambles about a subplot we’ll quickly forget. (Though if the power-sex turns into sadism, à la Joffrey or Ramsay, you might be headed for a precipitous downfall.) Of course, sometimes bare boobs are just bare boobs. Maron became his fathers heir after Rodrik died in battle, but was killed later by a collapsing tower during the Siege of Pyke. Martin’s characters reflect our continuing advice about creating fantasy names: make them easy to pronounce and easy to spell.

There are currently 2,054 named characters in the A Song of Ice and Fire, series the books on which the HBO television series Game of Thrones is based. Maron has two brothers, Rodrik and Theon, who are respectively the oldest and the youngest, and a sister, Yara, who was born after Maron but before Theon. Martin has succeeded in creating some of the best fantasy names in literature. The head of the family is traditionally known as the Lord Reaper of Pyke. It rules over the Iron Islands, a harsh and bleak collection of forbidding islands off the west coast of Westeros, from the Seastone Chair in the castle of Pyke on the island of the same name. If you're demanding it the way Daenerys tells her bearded underling to strip, it's a good sign you're in charge. Balon is the head of House Greyjoy and the Lord Reaper of Pyke. House Greyjoy of Pyke is one of the Great Houses of Westeros.
Sex is wielded in Westeros, like everything else, as a form of power. Despite his position, he remains loyal to the Starks and is good friends with his sons Robb and Jon. He is the hostage and ward of Lord Eddard Stark, stemming from the failed Greyjoy Rebellion years earlier. Sure, the HBO fantasy drama has (not unfairly) developed a reputation for gratuitous violence and sexual relations of all configurations-man on woman, man on man, sorceress on man, brother on sister-but some of that stuff matters. Theon of House Greyjoy is the youngest son of Lord Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands. Not all sex on Game of Thrones is created equal.
