Victarion Greyjoy is a brother of Balon Greyjoy and Lord Captain of the Iron Fleet. He is a capable commander and a fierce warrior in battle, but has a calm demeanor outside of it, thinking of enemies with great respect. He is a religious man and wears full plate armor while sailing because he has no fear of drowning.


History

Victarion recognized the greatness of his older brother Balon and followed him loyally. He commanded the Iron Fleet during the Greyjoy Rebellion. During the rebellion, using a plan Euron had concocted, they sailed into Lannisport and burned the Lannister fleet at anchor.[1] After the rebellion's end, he continued to serve as Lord Captain faithfully. His brother Euron seduced and bedded his second wife, which drove Victarion to kill her to retain his honor and has not married nor forgiven Euron since.

Recent Events

After Balon's death, Victarion made a claim to the Seastone Chair as Balon's brother and second-in-command. Victarion made a strong claim, but the crowd ultimately favored Euron. Despite his hatred for Euron, Victarion's obedient and dutiful nature kept him following Euron's orders. He lead the assault on the Shield Islands, slaughtering unarmored sailors and winning a duel with a lord's son. After his victory, he watched helplessly as Euron stole many of his trusted comrades away from him by giving them titles on the Shield Islands. He also deplored the cruelty Euron displayed toward the slain lords' women.

Apparently oblivious to Victarion's hatred, Euron summoned Victarion to a private meeting and asked him to find Daenerys Targaryen and deliver Euron's marriage proposal. Victarion agreed, but secretly planned on courting Daenerys for himself.

Appearance

Victarion is a large and powerful man, wearing plate armor in combat and wielding a cruel axe. He wears a helm in the shape of a kraken.[2]

Quotes

"Come! he roared back. "Come kill me, if you can." - Victarion upon boarding the Serry vessel.[3]
