Urrigon Greyjoy,[4] affectionately called Urri by his brother Aeron,[1] was the fourth son of Lord Quellon Greyjoy and Lady Sunderly. He died in his childhood from an infection.[1]
In a sample chapter for The Winds of Winter, he is called Urrathon Greyjoy.[5]
History
Urrigon and his younger brother Aeron were great friends during their childhood.[1] They were both sexually abused by their brother Euron as children.[5] Urrigon and Aeron often played at the finger dance together. Once, Aeron threw an axe that shaved off part of Urrigon's hand. Their father's new wife, Lady Piper, sent them her maester, who insisted on sewing Urrigon's fingers back on instead of treating the amputation. When Urrigon's hand became infected, he unsuccessfully tried to save it with potions before eventually amputating his arm, but it was already too late, and Urrigon died at the age of fourteen as a result of the infection.[1]
Urrigon's father, Lord Quellon Greyjoy, and older brothers, Balon, Euron, and Victarion, had been away from Pyke at the time, fighting the final battles of Robert's Rebellion. Lord Quellon died, and Urrigon's brother Balon returned home as the new Lord of the Iron Islands. To avenge his brother's death, he took off the maester's fingers and had Lady Piper sew them back on. The maester died raving.[1]
