When entering the great hall of Pyke, Theon sees some Botleys among his father Balon Greyjoy's captains.[6]

Maron Botley and his sons are part of Theon's crew on the Sea Bitch. They take part in the Battle of the Stony Shore and quarrel afterwards with Todric over plunder.[7] Theon later captures Winterfell.
