Bloodraven is honestly the coolest character in ASoIaF. Who can beat an Albino, Targaryan, bastard, wizard, master of whisperes, warg, greenseer, hand of the king and lord commander of the night's watch.
@Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix yeah he did the right in killing aenys blackfyre
the only thing missing was a fucking dragon
Holy shit, Bloodraven is the ultimate ride or die bitch. Who else would commit literal war crimes for the good of the kingdom?
And half valyrian (he's possibly could tame a dragon if they exist during that time)
It's pretty neat how whenever theres a half targaryen half first man character, they're super interesting. Bloodraven and jon snow
It's a shame they didn't acknowledge his real identity. I was hoping he'd give Dark Sister to Meera.
True! The show did not even introduce his character well. They just made a some king of old dude just chilling on a tree while waiting for Bran. He's like one of the most fascinating and important characters in the ASOIAF story. *deep sigh
*they just made him a some kind of old dude
We don't even know the location of Dark Sister.
He took it with him. To the wall. And when (I think) bran and crew get attacked by walkers and meera walks outside to see what happens she takes a sword with her inside. (watch back the Hold the door scene) Perhaps its Dark Sister.
so the weak shit Meera would lost it in 2 episodes
Thanks for a dose of Bloodraven "realness". The show didn't play up or extrapolate about Byryden Rivers and his cool story, so it was sad to see him die on the show without his back story or his motivations...he was just a mysterious, powerful guy who'd been watching events from a tree for "a thousand years". Oh, and there is no "Dark Sister" to pass along in the show.
I look forward to learning more about him in the books.
ps in the show this may not be Bloddraven because he been there 1000 years the show may be trying hint that Brandon Stark in future.
Sophia Wilson
Yes, I have that impression, too. Th books should be a bit more complicated.
I can’t wait to learn about him in future books... he’s really complex and has a very interesting backstory imho
He's also just downright cool.
Somebody needs to say it: Bloodraven was a pos.
"How many eyes does Lord Bloodraven have? A thousand eyes, and one."
How many eyes does Lord Bloodraven have? A thousand eyes, and one..
That Hand of the King needed a clout in the ear
You commit ONE war crime and suddenly nobody lets you forget about it!
..and now his watch has ended R.I.P.
not in the books and they count
Hold The Door
Hold the tears.
:'(
hello darkness my old friend
My favorite character Brynden Rivers, aka The Three-eyed-Bro.
After the Hodor scene in the last episode, I have to admit it was one of the few times a series made me tear up. Losing Bloodraven, the goal of Bran's quest, and then Hodor, who has been an amazing simpleminded character, was simply too devastating.
I kind of feel bad for Aenys Blackfyre, he tried to become the king by peaceful means and was killed for it, who knows, he might have made a good king.
Ido Jeorchim-Litman traitor
@@yasoum9286 no he isn't, he was baby when his father rebelled
Every Blackfyre has a twisted honorable trait but honorable nonetheless.
Maelys wasn't called 'The Monstrous' for no reason.
Jack McLean He was called “The Monstrous” because he had a second head, not because he was an awful person, even though it later turned out he was pne
I love his character in Dunc & Aeg
Love this guy he’s my favorite all time character. Wish we had a POV chapter with him in it, in the dunk and egg books.
I personally think characters like him are better without a POV, adds to the mystery element if we can't get a sense of his thought process.
I just read "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" so this information is very welcome and I just love your voice! Please keep up the good work. Your to do list must be getting absurdly long by now🍻
The list is enormous lol, :)
Blood raven is a true leader, he will never be number 1, but when he become number 2, he will bring the number 1 to glory
Bloodraven is friggin legendary the show killing him off the way they did I can't see it happening that way in ASOIAF.. The show version is a thousand and one years old lol
I always found his life to be pretty interesting. How he became the 3 eyed crow
Three eyed raven.
@@pezpowerproductions2602 in the book is a three eyed crow
I mean, it's the same thing innit.
@@jackmclean9529 three eyed corwven
@@virtualunreality3771 in the books, three-eyed crow is another entity. Bloodraven IS NOT a three-eyed crow.
It's interesting that both Bloodraven and the Ghost of High Heart were albinos I guess it's a common trait among greenseers. Its also interesting that he served as Lord Commander for 13 years.
Dayum, House Black Fyre was badass! Would love to see them fight Targeryens again
Yes they were, and just so you know I will be releasing a vid next week about all the Blackfyre Rebellions, so stay tuned for that :)
I think you forgot to mention Shiera Seastar among the Great Bastards at 0:31
Other than that, Great Video. Love Bloodraven!
+Rickard Lundberg Shoot, I will add an annotation, thanks for pointing that out.
There is a mistake,at time the battle of the Redgrass Field Dorne was already in the Seven Kingdoms
if Brynden was legitimized we should be calling him Brynden Targaryen
+kwadwo baidoo He never changed his name. Some of his half brothers and sisters did (Daemon Blackfyre, Shiera Seastar, etc.) but Brynden did not.
Grainne McKeown he should have to remove the stigma of bastardy from his name
Maybe it was so he didn't insult his brother Daeron by basically elevating himself up to the same status as his trueborn friend.
SantomPh he should have founded House Bloodraven or something
Bran only started to get Green Dreams and started on his journey to become a Greenseer after falling from the tower. I suspect enduring or surviving some trauma is necessary to active Green Dreams. I suspect this occurred for Bloodraven at Redgrass field when Bittersteel removed his eye. Bloodraven isn't known to have had any children, much less legitimate ones to carry on his name. Also whilst it says he served on Daeron's Small Council. I find it hard to believe he served in any other capacity than Master of Whisperers.
Make one on Hodor!!! Hold the door...
+Midnight Gaming I pretty much have too now don't I, lol :)
+CivilizationEx yes indeed would really appreciate it
+Midnight Gaming Hold The Door!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dance with dragons and blackfyre rebellion are really good stories
7 blessings to you .
Blood Raven had the Asap Yams birthmark. Salute!
He is a great misunderstood character, he may be quit cruel in some areas but his loyalty is anything but unsure , also has one of the most badass names of the series.
here is my top five to give a clue:
1. Conqueror ( Aegon the first)
2. Black Dragon (Deamon Blackfyre)
3. Bloodraven
4. Bittersteel
5. The Last Dragon (Rhaegar Targaryen)
Blood Raven was an ass. That thing he did to the blackfyres and tricking them to come to king landing while promising they wouldn't be harmed. There was just no fucking need for that.
Breakspear is better than Conqueror and the last dragon imo
Man I disagree Congueror is much better but you are right that Breakspear is more epic that Last Dragon
His action were in line with the period of the middle ages ,were Game of Thrones is played out so you should not call him ass so easily. But Sean you are not wrong that killing Aenys was to much and he was indeed punisher for that ,so even the Targuaryen said Bryden calm down !!
What about Wynan Manderly, the Lord Lamprey? Or Hand of the King Lord Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight?
What a legend
Thank you
damn i didnt know that old guy was such a badass.
Awesome video. great work!!
SWEET!!! I did NOT know that back story. That was awesome!!
The next important character is the other half-brother of Sansa who has reassembled the Tully army in the Riverlands. Can't think of his name but he seems like he has an interest back story.
that would be her Uncle Brynden Tully "The Blackfish". and I agree because he is pretty awesome.
Great-uncle *
That was great !!! Love bloodraven now cause of you
I'm sad he's gone from the show :(
+Flying Spectacles ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooo
+Flying Spectacles at this point i'm not even convinced the "Three Eyed Raven" in the show *is* Brynden Rivers. they never identify him as such, he has two eyes, no winestain birthmark, and he tells Bran that he's a thousand years old. i think the show is just treating him as literally some old hobo stuck in a tree.
+Wangtorio Jackson yeah euron too, i guess Belfasts eyepatch factory collapsed under the tremors from the tourists visiting the GoT scenery.
+Wangtorio Jackson Yes, but There's lots of things like that they can't do in the show, it'd be really hard to have tryion look like he should in the books.
+Flying Spectacles Gone too soon.
Amazing video , great job.
He had a wonderfull story thank you for sharing your knowledge
Rise up, I say, and remember our true king across the water.
Seven gods there are, and seven kingdoms, and the Black Dragon sired seven sons!
Rise up, my lords and ladies. Rise up, you brave knights and sturdy yeomen, and cast down Bloodraven,
that foul sorcerer, lest your children and your children's children be cursed forevermore.
traitor !!!
Dagon Greyjoy The Black Dragon shall rise again!
Funny how you post this video after he dies. Great vid
Probably the most interesting character in the asoiaf universe
Bran cost all of them their lives Blood raven, Hodor, Summer, rest in peace
+ZegetaX1 but he is gonna save thousands of people
+ZegetaX1 when Summer died it was just like wtf?... wasting a direwolf for 2 seconds to run? like for fucks sake I know DnD are cheap and want to spare money but damn
Fleogan I know that was cheap
Blood Raven Too Real😎😎😎😎
Great work Civilization Ex, keep the great content coming.
BloodRaven is gone :( but now Bran is going to possibly save the world as Azor Ahai :D
Every Blackfyre has a twisted honorable trait but honorable nonetheless.
EXCELLENT💯👍👏 INTERESTING VIDEO🎥👍🔥🔥
Once u said "young bran stark"
Me: "holy crap".
The most decorated man to ever live in Westeros
very informative, i like
Hold the door and oddly his Valyrian Steel weapon Dark Sister might have been taken by Meera Reed back to Greywater Watch via Winterfell and the Wall
real recognizes real
can you please make one about meera and jojen reed?
+Pedro Bravo Great idea! I will fast track it, and try to get it out in the next few weeks. Thanks for the suggestion :)
+CivilizationEx and one about lady stoneheart? ^.^
CivilizationEx thanks! :) great job, your channel is amazing
TheDJcrp Actually already planned one about that in the near future as well :)
CivilizationEx awesome :D
The Crows-Eye and Blood Raven
Man, Bittersteel has a serious obsession with proclaiming Blackfyres the true kings of Westeros
he needs to chill lmao
He sees Daeron as Bloodraven's puppet, that's why.
LOVE IT!!!!!
It is very interesting how it turned out with Hodor,specialy because it comes directly from G.R.R.M.
But i now find it very confusing,this means that Bran can affect the past?I don't really understant how it works and i can't make sense of it.This makes theories like Aerys the second became mad because Bloodraven possible,.What do you think?
Andrei Melincianu Aerys took the throne after Bloodraven went to the wall, it doesn't need spacetime shananigen
Bloodraven said he can't change the past. As he tried. The mad king became mad because of the whispers I think. Bloodraven was trying to advise him.
awesome vid !!!!!!!
+Cesar Lopez :)
+CivilizationEx It says the comment is 5 days old, what?
Sounds like a Riddle, what has Two Eyes in the morning, One Eye in the Afternoon and Three Eyes in the Evening.
Can you do something about the Tullys or about blackfish if there is lore enough. Love your vids
Something of note: despite his psuedo-immortality Bloodraven is still in the same decade of age as the oldest human on record in real life. Dio Brando also has that trait
+CivilizationEx
would you do a rhaegar targaryen focus video?
I certainly will in the future :)
Interesting guy
Can you please make a video about the man that Sam meets at Oldtown?That man with the obsidian candle?
+Andrei Melincianu I think your referring to Marwyn the Mage, I will add him to the list :)
curiosity can kill....
Make one on Bittersteel!
I heard somewhere that blood raven fought alongside daemon in the rebellion but switched sides later on.
he never switched sides. Fought always for the Targs.
Man I wish they included his backstory in the show
They didn't and thats why ending is sucked wait for the books
Is there a video on the whole stuff that happened in the north 8000 years ago?
construction of the wall, first WWs, nights king, etc
I have a number of videos on those subjects, links below :)
ruclips.net/video/Ou9Kzok1tq4/видео.html

CivilizationEx Thanks!
So is he like Aemons great uncle 3x and Jon's uncle 6x lmao??
You got it, bud. Wonder if he'll ever meet Dany and Jon?
Creepy Closet Yeah, he’s Aemon’s grandfather’s half brother
He's his father's uncle.
they did a lame job on the show with bloodraven he could've been way cooler
so true
Where is the video about Robert and his bastards? I can't find it here.
It will be released in a few days.
A just man
Like Stannis
A usurper nevertheless
He'll bend the knee in the tomb or stannis will destroy him
HOLD THE DOOOOOOR
You don’t have Sheara Seastar on your children of Aegon IV’s list
I became interested in him because his name is "Bloodraven." That name is sick.
I so want to see Paul Bettany play Bloodraven
I wanna hear “a thousand eyes & one”
the great-grandfather and great-grandmother of Bloodraven are Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen. He is the closest relative to them still living in Game of Thrones.
Bloodraven is NOT the 3 eyed crow.
Read the chapter when Brandon meets Bloodraven.
Bran says so you are the 3 eyed crow. He says, "Crow?! Once(meaning a brother of night's watch not the 3 eyed crow). And many other things.
Bloodraven comes into Bran's dreams as a weirwood not a crow. Read the book, especially their dialog when they meet you will understand
Oh now I have to read the book again.
Maybe he didn't know how Bran saw him during his vision.
6th mistress? Nice!
In the show, Blooddraven said he has been waiting for "a thousand years" for Bran. But It looks like he is at most 150 years old... so is that a TB show mistake?
The show changed it.
stupid TV show changed everything and dumb plot too
it might may not be Bloodraven but Brandon Stark in the furture.
Three eyed raven is lots of people through time as i understand it.
@@acrobaticswitches Each Greenseer subsumes the memories and feelings of the previous ones. So even though Brybdon Rivers might be 125 years old, he has the memories of 1000 years of Greenseers.
I thought bastards get their last name depending upon where their father belongs
Like in Jon case he got snow because Ned is from North ..
So doesnt it mean he should have got waters as aegon was king in kingslanding
Hold the door! :'(
I thought the honor guard went to the wall with/for Aemon Targaryen who declined the throne.
Bloodraven was a lot more important than Aemon, even though Aemon was closer in relation to the King than him
no summer!! that makes the super pack less n less likely only ghost n nymeria are left will it still be a thing
Don't worry everyone I'm here
Bitterest of enemies. Bittersteel
How did he get his eye back...
He never did.
Had no idea the 3 eyed raven was a Targaryen .
he was no targaryen
He was a bastard of Aegon IV might not have his name.
still not a targaryen
He has Targaryen blood which make him part Targaryen. Plus he was legitimized but never took the Targaryen name.
@@greenlit802 bloodraven is not the three eyed crow. They are 2 separate entities
Died in the spring
SOOO... How old is BR/3eyed raven⁉️
125 years old.
+Ulrich Leland the original actor was probably more realistic in terms of appearance then haha
I still don't understand what the heck he's been trying to teach Bran. So he knows how to warg through weirwoods now and see the past, that's about it. Is that all he needed to know? I feel like there was some other power he was supposed to teach him.
Bran knows how warging but Not Greenseeing and Bloodraven teached him both
Holy shit, how did you find out the Three Eyed Raven was him?!
Ahh nevermind, just looked it up on Brynden Rivers wiki. Incredible stuff, I didn't know who he was prior to reading Dance with Dragons, but now, man. Crazy shit.
:)
WE NEED HODOR
Coming soon :)
CivilizationEx :D
Being my favorite character in the books, his death in the show made me punch a wall, injuring my fist. R.I.P.
+EquinoxOmega Euron has no eye patch or dragon horn. Show is show and books is books. The was bloodraven, blame D&D for terrible organisation and writing.
spoilers for ep five
May he rest in peace the teacher of Bran savior of Bran not once but twice.
Bloodraven took over bran’s body during night king’s attack in cave. Leading to all characters killing themselves or exiling themselves, and finally becoming the king himself
He's not Bloodraven in the show. Separate character
What happened to his wife?
They were never married.
@@saljpal3 do you know what became of her? Did she pass away before he took the Black? Was she alive when he went to the Wall?
@@derekrobinson5259 I don't know they never said, all I know is that she was still alive during the Tales of Dunk and Egg.
@@derekrobinson5259 A mystery, no one knows exactly. She just goes out of history and is no longer mentioned
lol why is aegor rivers still called rivers, if he was legitmized?? he should be aegor targaryen. Same with Bryden..
because they didn't want to be, same with, Aegor stayed a rivers because he supported the claim of the of Daemon Blackfyre to kingship.
perfecttrunks2000 I mean he did take a dynasty name, Bittersteel
Bruuuhhhhh, I thought he wasn't in the show
Am I the only one who just discovered he is the three eyes raven???? Im astonished
So prob meera and bran will get married and she'll stimulate him and they'll beget a child that'll be like part stark, part crannogman, part children, part green seer, basically the sickest person that worlds seen, prob daenarys will meetup with John snow(daraeon targaryan, I think) and aegon targaryan his half brother and her nephew and they'll ride her dragons and burn and conquer all of Westeros, Yut!!!!
