Dagon Greyjoy, called the Last Reaver,[1] was Lord of the Iron Islands and Lord Reaper of Pyke during the reign of King Aerys I Targaryen. According to his great-grandson, Victarion, he last sat in the Seastone Chair "almost a hundred years" before the events of A Song of Ice and Fire.[5]

History

By 211 AC, Lord Dagon and his ironborn were raiding along the Sunset Sea and the western coast of Westeros. They burned Little Dosk, carried off half the wealth of Fair Isle and a hundred women, and raided as far south as the Arbor.[6] The ironmen also also attacked the north,[7] so Lord Beron Stark gathered swords in an attempt to drive them off.[8] Dagon and his forces retreated to the sea[8] and Pyke[9] whenever his adversaries retaliated on land, so Lord Tybolt Lannister began building ships for an attack on the Iron Islands.[8]

Erik Ironmaker sailed with Dagon.[4] The Lord of the Iron Islands frustrated the Starks and the Lannisters for some time, but the Last Reaver was eventually defeated by House Targaryen.[5]

Lord Dagon and Dagon's Feast, longships of the Iron Fleet, are named after Dagon.[10][11]

Quotes

That Dagon Greyjoy wants for hanging. Aye, but who's to hang him?[6]

Duncan: Lord Beron Stark is gathering swords to drive the krakens from his shores for good.
Maynard: Too cold up there for me. If you want to kill krakens, go west. The Lannisters are building ships to strike back at the ironmen on their home islands. That's how you put an end to Dagon Greyjoy. Fighting him on land is fruitless, he just slips back to sea. You have to beat him on the water.[8]

Old women on Fair Isle still frightened their grandchildren with tales of Lord Dagon and his men.[4]

—thoughts of Asha Greyjoy

In Dagon's day a weak king sat the Iron Throne, his rheumy eyes fixed across the narrow sea where bastards and exiles plotted rebellion. So forth from Pyke Lord Dagon sailed, to make the Sunset Sea his own. He bearded the lion in his den and tied the direwolf's tail in knots, but even Dagon could not defeat the dragons.[5]
