### Type of Villain

Sadistic Warlord

**Ramsay Bolton** (formerly **Ramsay Snow**) is one of the main antagonists of *A Song of Ice and Fire*, and its TV show adaptation *Game of Thrones*. He is the son and apprentice of Roose Bolton and the archenemy of Theon Greyjoy. He is also the embodiment of rape and sadism who loves torturing others for his own enjoyment.

He was portrayed by the legendary Iwan Rhoen.

## His Cool and Evil Rankings

### What Makes Him a Guile Villain?

* He is highly creative with his methods, remorselessly flaying enemies alive and feeding women who bore him to his hounds.
* While he has a girlfriend (Myranda), he tricks people by seeing her as nothing but a minion and a sex object.
* Though he claims he'll avenge Myranda's death, he ultimately decides to feed her corpse to his dogs instead of giving her a proper funeral, and Rheon himself confirmed that he doesn't really love her.
* He's charming and funny at some points thanks to Iwan Rheon's acting.
* He has a cool fight scene with the Ironborn in Season 4.
* He takes no enjoyment in killing his family, and even shows brief remorse for killing his father.

### What Makes Him Evil?

* He's a textbook sadist whose favorite hobbies are skinning people alive and using his hounds to hunt women who bore him in the woods. He even says it himself that he has no reason for his atrocities other than his own amusement.
* Tortures and castrates Theon to the point of invoking Stockholm syndnrome.
* Repeatedly rapes Sansa for days shortly after marrying her.
* Kills his own father (although he deserved it), and then feeds his stepmother and newborn brother to his dogs.
* Snipes the preteen Rickon Stark when he's mere feet away from Jon.
* Shoots Wun-Wun in the eye although the poor giant was already at death's doorstep.
* Shoots his own men dead twice: when they’re about to gangrape Theon in the woods, and while they’re engaged with Jon and his army during the Battle of the Bastards.
* Hypocritically scolds Jon Snow for being a bastard despite being one himself.

## Trivia

* Ramsay is so evil, that even Iwan Rhoen wanted him to die a slow and horrible death. In fact, Ramsay is more evil than Joffrey Baratheon himself.
* It could be possible that Ramsay has standards against killing his family, because he looks somewhat disgusted when being tasked to rape and kill his mom and he is briefly regretful for killing his father.
