Re: Favorite non-main character?

It's a close one between Dolorous Edd and the Blackfish. Edd's simple jokes are so incredibly funny and the stuff he says is so well written. And the Blackfish is just the Blackfish: too cool a knight not to be a favourite character.

I think makes the Blackfish my favourite was the picture of him peering out of some bushes. Can't find it now but maybe I'll try and link it when I do.

Re: Favorite non-main character?

Syrio took out 4 (?) Lannister guardsman before fighting a man in full armour, who he hits three/four times before he gets his stick sliced.

I doubt Barristan could compete to be honest, esecially at his age.
The Braavos seem to love fencing. Syrio was their first sword. Fencing is dayum fast.

FOr the charaacter D. Edd would have to be one of em as mentioned and Pod and Oberyon (sp?). |The northman Bran etc meet in the cave left a mark.

This is a preemptive one but... I predict that Gregorstein will be badass.

Have I missed something important? Who is Gregorstein?

Also I'd like to add Beric Dondarrion to my list. He was my favourite non-main character throughout the first and second books because of the way all his deeds were spread about like some myth or legend and Gregor Clegane's men were so desperate to find him because they obviously feared him.

Go back and read the last couple of Cersei's POV's in AFFC and it should give you a hint.

Don't be obtuse. Gregorstein is the pet name of the presumedly undead monstrosity that Qyburn is making of Gregor Clegane in the dungeons of the Red Keep. We inferred this from the chapters he mentioned.

Well I hope they don't mind having a headless undead "Gregorstein" then. His head was shown in a box with the flesh eaten away by maggots or beetles to clean it so it could be sent to Doran Martell. I think it is on its way now.

The inference was that the skull being taken to Doran Martell wasn't specifically Gregor's....just large enough to pass as being his.
