Mad Huntsman

The Mad Huntsman is a minor character in the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series. He is a member of the Brotherhood without Banners, an outlaw organization founded by Beric Dondarrion to bring justice to the Riverlands after it is attacked by the Lannisters. The Riverlands become a massive warzone after the westermen's invasion to fight against House Tully, continuing after Robb Stark and the northmen arrive in the Riverlands to join the riverlords in rebellion against King Joffrey I Baratheon, later being proclaimed King in the North.
The Mad Huntsman owns a pack of dogs at the walled town Stoney Sept.
==Biography==
The Mad Huntsman lived in Stoney Sept when the Lannisters attacked. His wife and sister were raped, his crops torched, half his sheep eaten and the rest killed, and six of his dogs were killed, the dog's corpses thrown down his own well. The Mad Huntsman brings a flock of sheep to the famine-stricken Stoney Sept. He catches some Northmen who took part in a massacre at Tumbler's Falls and hangs them in crow cages to die. Arya Stark gives them water and Anguy the Archer shoots them dead. A man says the Mad Huntsman will hear of this and won't like it.
After Ser Jaime Lannister escapes Riverrun the Mad Huntsman goes to track him. He captures Sandor Clegane "the Hound", whose brother Ser Gregor Clegane, "the Mountain that Rides", is among the Lannisters' forces. Before he can put Sandor in a crow cage the Brotherhood make him agree to bring Sandor before Beric. In a trial by battle Sandor defeats Beric. The Huntsman wants him put in a crow cage. However the Hound is released, though his gold is confiscated. With the gold the Mad Huntsman is sent to buy grain south of the Mander, accompanied by another member of the Brotherhood, Greenbeard.
