    I remember he fought beside Robert at the trident, and advised he executed barristan selmy when they found him wounded ( with 12 enemies he had killed about him ) .he would have been 18 or 19 at the time. ( in the vanguard)

    Loving all the Roose Bolton videos coming out of different channels lately. He’s one of the best villains in the books, as well of one my top favorites, and was kind of underutilized in the later seasons of the show in favor of Ramsay. Glad to see he is getting more content.

    2:24 It is possible that since George takes inspiration from real historical figures, Roose might have been inspired by Vlad Dracula Tepes, Prince of Wallachia, no need to explain what other character that guy inspired, which can be why there's a theory of vampires in asoiaf. While I doubt Roose is an actual vampire, he may still be this world's version of Dracula.

      Not rly. All the Boltons have been pretty messed up. Roose used to rape random girls and kill their husbands after if they said anything. That's how Ramsey was born. Doubtful the child would have been much better. Also, if the theory is correct, in the books, Roose is hundreds of years old, and is just grooming new bodies to take over.

Now if he ended up being one of the heirs who Jamie cut down during the Battle in the Whispering Woods, I could see Roose using that as an excuse to turn his cloak.

    You know who else has "bad" blood? Craster.
    Roose is the scariest guy in the series to my way of thinking. It's like we KNOW he had something to do directly with Domeric's and Robb's deaths. But he also seems to have let them decide that fate-he made them both aware of exactly what was going to happen. they were going to die. I'm left with the impression that he's SUPER DANGEROUS but also not, in some horrible way. Like how Mirri Maz Dur is dangerous in that if Drogo had just listened to her care instructions, he would have lived and those eggs would still be stones. But she set it up so that she could almost make sure he didn't listen to her. Just because, mneh...it's their choice now blahblahblah. I feel like Roose is somehow messing with events by trying to guarantee the outcomes while also leaving the impression of "choices." Or perhaps he wants to leave the impression that anything else could have ever happened once he became involved, personally.

Like he keeps the skin, and gives the flesh to the lake monster….the drowned god isn’t a kraken, it is a gestalt of lamprey. That’d be pretty creepy. It would make roose a sort of priest, making offerings.

    David Lightbringer recently made a lot of videos about parallels between some characters and the Others among them Roose: these ice blue eyes, palish skin and this particular relation with the Stark the Others have with...main ennemy of Stannis (a representation of Azor Ahai). Even Ramsey's story do a perfect link, born from a rape like Craster, a "Snow" like the sacrifices made through the century by the Kings of the North to the Others...Right now, everything in Winterfel is ready to explode: the Bolton defiance, the treason of Manderly, the evasion of Theon and Jeyne, the trap ingeneered by Stannis... Winds of Winter will be very interesting

    I couldn’t have said it better myself when you said “He’s a mix of Tywin and Ramsay”. I think I want him to win the battle between him and Stannis. He’s not an idiot he’s a manipulator and possibly a worse monster than Ramsay if George gives him more attention in the next book. I REALLY hope he’s not just beaten and killed in the next battle because what a damn waste that would be. He’s my favorite antagonist in the series because of his mystery and I only hope he gets worse. (or better in reference to how he’s written haha)
    *This is a game to him, mildly diverting. Some men hunt, some hawk, some tumble dice. Roose plays with men. You and me, these Freys, Lord Manderly, his plump new wife, even his bastard, we are but his playthings.*

      Reigns of Castsamere was undoubtedly evil and heavy handed. As was the sacking of King's Landing.
      Huge difference between Bolton and Tywin being that although Tywin was present to watch both terrible things unfold under his command, I don't think he particularly enjoyed it like a Bolton would. Tywin seems even more detached, logical and cold about his goals.
      Depends on what kind of monster terrifies you more I suppose.

      Tywin has a huge kill count, to be sure, but there is a total difference. Just look at the difference between the "fatherly" advice each man offers to their sons. Roose is telling Ramsey how to hunt humans, where to hunt them, how to wear them and do it all to his heart's content. Tywin is telling Jaime how to openly strike fear into people and confuse them into thinkng it is the same as respect. Who knows? I might be reading it wrong, but it feels like Tywin is cool with being somewhat open {as long as he also controls the narrative} and feels justified, etc. Whatever Roose is, it's not that.
