[ 14 ]
late, when Reek comes to fetch Sansa for the marriage, she refuses to hold Reek ’ s arm, even after he pleads her to, saying that Ramsay will punish him if she doesn ’ deoxythymidine monophosphate. reek then gives Sansa away to Ramsay, and they wed in front of the Godswood. After retreating to the bedroom, Ramsay tells Sansa to take her clothes off. Reek is about to leave but Ramsay tells him he must stay.

Maester Wolkan announces that Walda has given parturition to a baby son. Roose calms him by promising him that he will always be his firstborn, but Ramsay stabs his father in the chest, killing him instantaneously. Ramsay orders Wolkan to announce that Roose was poisoned by their enemies, and to bring Walda and the baby to him.

She besides tries to seduce Ramsay, but it is merely a ruse to get him distracted and kill him with the knife that is on the board adjacent to him. As Osha lies on his lap, Ramsay reveals that Theon had told him how she helped the Stark boys escape. Osha rushes for the knife, but Ramsay takes another one out from his holster and stabs her in the neck. Osha falls to the floor and bleeds to death as Ramsay cleans the blade and watches in entertainment, returning to peeling his apple with the same tongue used to kill her. Heeding his father ‘s cautious words about outright attacking the Night ‘s Watch, Ramsay sends a letter to Jon Snow at Castle Black, where he rightly assumes Sansa is presently at. He demands that Jon return Sansa to Winterfell, or he will kill every wildling who survived the Massacre at Hardhome, let his men rape Sansa, and maim and kill Jon and Rickon should he refuse. Tormund, now the de facto leader of the Wildlings, says there are merely 2,000 fighters among the Wildlings, not enough to face the 5,000 soldiers of House Bolton. Jon and Sansa decide to try to unite the houses of the North against the Boltons, as Jon is the son of a lawful Warden of the North. together with Tormund, they start planning to expel House Bolton from Winterfell and restore House Stark ‘s oblige on the North. [ 23 ]
Ramsay, Smalljon and Harald meet with Jon, Sansa, Tormund, Davos Seaworth and Lyanna Mormont to reach a peaceful solution before they battle. Ramsay offers surrender terms, saying he will pardon Jon and his supporters for opposing him if he bends the knee and hands Sansa over. Jon offers Ramsay a chance to settle their dispute in one on one fight but Ramsay refuses, citing that Jon would possibly beat him but his army will well smash Jon ‘s army. Jon owes that Ramsay has the numbers but wonders if his men will want to fight for him when he wo n’t fight for them, which visibly vexes Ramsay. He then asks Jon and Sansa if they will let Rickon die because they are excessively gallant to surrender. When Sansa asks for proof of Rickon ‘s capture, Ramsay has Smalljon throw the beheaded head of her brother ‘s direwolf, Shaggydog, at her feet. As Ramsay begins to tell her what to do if she wants to save Rickon, Sansa cuts him off and tells him that he is going to die the following day, bidding him to sleep well before riding off. Ramsay threatens Jon and his supporters, claiming that his hounds have not been fed in seven days, before returning to Winterfell .
The following day, as the struggle begins, Ramsay arrives holding the captive Rickon. He sets him rid, and commands Rickon to run across the battlefield towards Jon. When Rickon starts running, Ramsay begins firing arrows at him, each coming perilously close to hitting their notice. Jon immediately mounts his sawhorse to rescue Rickon, but Ramsay shoots him dead with an arrow as he is inch aside from Jon ‘s range. With Jon now defenseless in the middle of the battlefield, Bolton archers fire volleys of arrows in his steering with the Bolton cavalry charging at him angstrom well. The Stark cavalry begin their charge to meet the Bolton cavalry, narrowly saving Jon from being trampled to death and forcing them to abandon their initial struggle plan. Ramsay executes a pincer bowel movement with his infantry, wholly encircling the Stark/Wildling army .
As the Bolton united states army closes in, Petyr Baelish and Sansa arrive with reinforcements courtesy of House Arryn. Dumbfounded and ferocious, Ramsay meets his gaze with Sansa ‘s as their cavalry quickly flanks the encircling Bolton army, which is demolished. A perplex Ramsay looks on, locking eyes with Jon. nowadays outnumber, Ramsay retreats with his remaining allies while closely pursued by Jon, Tormund and the giant Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun, and closes the gates, convinced in their ability to withstand siege, and readies his archers. To Ramsay ‘s horror, however, Winterfell ‘s gates are gap thanks to Wun Wun, and the remaining Bolton forces are wiped out one by one, although Wun Wun is incapacitated by injuries sustained by Bolton archers. Jon attempts to comfort the giant but Ramsay ultimately delivers the killing blow by shooting an arrow in Wun Wun ‘s eye. Having nowhere else to go and exhausted all his forces, he last accepts Jon ‘s extend to fight him one-on-one, choosing a bow and arrow as his weapon. Jon grabs a fallen Mormont soldier ‘s harbor as Ramsay fires an arrow, which Jon blocks. Ramsay fires two more, both blocked, becoming more and more uneasy as Jon gets closer to him. As Ramsay prepares a fourth arrow, Jon smacks the bow out of his hands and strikes him with the shield with adequate force to send him down. Before Ramsay can stand up, Jon pounces on him and proceeds to viciously beat Ramsay to a bloody pulp, hard disfiguring his side. Ramsay, however, does not fight back, rather smirking throughout the whole ordeal. Jon stops beating Ramsay when he notices Sansa and acknowledges that she has adenine much right to revenge as he does. Jon spares Ramsay, but orders him locked up in the kennels as a prisoner .
At twilight, Ramsay, battered and alone barely conscious, is accosted by Sansa. He goads her by telling her that she will never be rid of him because he is “ depart of [ her ] now. ” In answer, Sansa tells him that he will soon be forgotten, and his House will cease to exist before an baleful grumble from one of his hounds, who by his own admission have not been fed for seven days, reveals his at hand sentence. Despite his confidence that they will never harm him, Ramsay cursorily loses his composure and urgently attempts to order them to heel as they sniff at him hungrily and one tastes the blood from his face. The hounds suddenly begin to devour Ramsay, who is entirely able to physically scream until his mouth and throat are torn apart alongside the rest of him and he is killed. With Ramsay ‘s death, the Starks last retake control of Winterfell and the North, and avenge the end of Rickon and the part House Bolton played in the Red Wedding — Ramsay himself hastened the end of his firm by murdering the rest of his kin — leaving the bane of the North wholly extinct and bringing a permanent end to the ancient feud between the Starks and the Boltons. [ 24 ]
To Sansa ‘s surprise, Bran is able to recount Sansa ‘s wedding night with Ramsay, much to her distress. [ 25 ]

personality

Ramsay is a genuine sociopath. [ 26 ] He seems to be the personification of arrant evil, with no redeemable features. He is dishonorable, manipulative, pitiless, highly sadistic, sexually depraved, violent, and wholly capable of committing ineffable atrocities without compunction, merely for pure entertainment. Ramsay fully admits—and indeed revels in the fact—that he tortures and kills barren people for no reason any, and that they did not deserve what he did to them. He plainly enjoys inflicting awful agony on people. His sadism far surpasses even Joffrey Baratheon. While Joffrey was sadistic, he preferred a passive voice role, watching others hurt for his amusement. Ramsay on the other hand relishes at the though of inflicting as much pain and abasement as possible. Whenever he has the advantage in a skirmish, Ramsay is fearless—almost a beast in homo skin—reveling in the ferocity of personal combat. [ 11 ] This is the diametric reverse of Joffrey Baratheon ‘s cowardice. Ramsay did not rave and rage, however, he had a perverse, playful, childlike giddiness as he inflicts pain on others, from flaying men alive to hunting and killing girls for sport. This behavior, however, was not displayed when Jon Snow proposes that the two of them fight one-on-one quite than send thousands to their deaths to determine who holds rock over the North. Ramsay scoffs at the idea due to his initial numeric transcendence, and besides strikes anger in Jon and Sansa ‘s hearts by having Smalljon Umber drop Shaggydog ‘s head in front of them to display his power over them mentally and physically. only when Jon and his allies breach Winterfell thanks to the arrival of the knights of the Vale, does Ramsay reconsider fighting one-on-one against him, choosing a bow and arrows as his weapon but only because he knew he would be cursorily killed if he chose to attack the surrounding soldiers whereas he had a better chance of surviving but fighting Jon one-on-one. In his own flex way Ramsay was actually quite intelligent, possessing a certain “ first gear clever ” with which he tricked his enemies. He was particularly good at thinking on his feet, but heedless when it came to long-run consequences and intricate politics. Ramsay deeply enjoyed playing mind games with his enemies using psychological distortion, frequently tricking them into trusting him entirely to then break his empty promises. A dear display of Ramsay ‘s ambidextrous tact was when while playing a “ game ” with Theon Greyjoy to guess where he was, who he was, and why he was being tortured, he allowed him to believe his guesses were correct until he pointed out that Theon “ forgot to ask if he was a liar ” and continued to flay his finger anyhow. Another case is using Rickon Stark as bait to “ trap ” Jon in the center of the battlefield at the Battle of the Bastards, knowing that his family-loving nature would leave him defenseless to arrow attacks. On the early hand, Ramsay is very capricious, not in full considering the long-run consequences of his actions much to his forefather ‘s humiliate. When Lord Medger Cerwyn refuses to pay Ramsay taxes or tied acknowledge Bolton rule, Ramsay flays Cerwyn alert along with his wife and buddy while forcing his son to watch, and puts the corpses on public display. Roose angrily warns his son that this disproportionate ferociousness is badly damaging their long-run status but Ramsay largely ignores his warnings, rather privately holding a massive fete for himself even as early lords are worry about stockpiling provisions for the winter. In summation, he kills his church father, stepmother, and stepbrother for his own profit even though he has so far to produce an successor, a selfish, short-sighted, downright dazed action that finally dooms House Bolton. Ramsay is greatly frustrated by his bastard condition, and was easily angered when he was referred to in such a way. A possible source of this resentment was his jealousy of Jon Snow, another Northern bastard son who was raised by his father, Ned Stark, alongside his trueborn sons and finally rose to become Lord Commander of the Night ‘s Watch, and as such, Ramsay desired to rise to a potent political situation as Jon did, which he himself states to Sansa by comparing himself to Jon. Ramsay ‘s jealousy of Jon was thus much that he expressed a willingness to kill Jon if the chance comes, though at the same fourth dimension appears fearful when he hears that Jon may come after him with a wildling army. due to his huge insecurities about his base status, Ramsay makes it a point to mock and belittle Jon for being a bastard—continuously referring to him as “ bastard ” in both a letter he sends to him at Castle Black, and in person when they finally meet, despite the fact that Ramsay is initially a bastard himself. Due to having played mind games and anguished helpless and defenseless victims and getting away with it all his life, Ramsay is not used to the hypothesis of losing a confrontation. tied while being beaten about to death by Jon, Ramsay smiles with confidence that somehow he will survive, and even displays this demeanor when faced with his hungry hounds, who he staunchly believes will never harm him. however, when one of the dogs disobeys his commands to get off him and starts hungrily licking his grimace, Ramsay ‘s commands get more despairing, and for the beginning and last time in his life, Ramsay shows genuine concern when he realizes he ca n’t control them and wo n’t survive after all .

Behind the scenes

Iwan Rheon ‘s character was announced and then credited merely as “ Boy ” in order to keep his true identity as Ramsay Snow a confidential until “ Mhysa. ” The only clue as to his identity was the manner in which Theon is fastened to the rack while Ramsay tortures him, identical to the symbol of House Bolton, representing a flay man in an X-shape. even though Ramsay did not appear prominently until A Dance with Dragons ( he appears in A Clash of Kings, but disguised as a servant, Reek, until the final examination chapters ), book readers would know immediately after dropping his façade in the television receiver series who he sincerely was. His pose as a handmaid male child to “ help ” Theon is an apparent nod to his “ Reek ” persona from A Clash of Kings. During casting for Season 1, Rheon originally auditioned for the function of Jon Snow, but lost to Kit Harrington. Throughout the series, particularly A Dance with Dragons, Ramsay is portrayed as Jon ‘s foil in many ways, given that Jon and Ramsay are both bastards of Northern noble families ( Stark and Bolton, respectively ), and are each other ‘s polar opposites, ampere well as the Boltons once again becoming the affirm enemies of the Starks after the Red Wedding. On Jon and Ramsay ‘s competition, Rheon claims, “ Jon and Ramsay are literally the diametric to each other, you know. Jon ‘s very noble and ethical, and Ramsay ‘s none of those things. ” [ 27 ] During development of “ Battle of the Bastards ”, Ramsay was primitively meant to have his confrontation with Jon ( and be killed personally by him ) in the midst of the struggle itself, though David Benioff and D. B. Weiss thought it more appropriate for them to face off inside the Winterfell court, since the conflict was efficaciously between the Starks and Boltons for Winterfell itself. While shooting Jon and Ramsay ‘s fight fit, Rheon was actually struck twice by Harington by accident : Harington foremost hit Rheon in the chin with a carapace, and late punched him across the font. Though Rheon was not badly hurt, Harington reportedly bought him a pint of beer as a sign of apology. In real life, despite having been seen onscreen together in only one episode of the integral series, Rheon and Harington are close friends. After the sequence aired, Rheon admitted in an interview that since being cast as Ramsay, he had wanted to shoot a picture with Jon Snow, who Rheon cited as Ramsay ‘s antithesis, while Harington praised Rheon ‘s knead on the series. [ 28 ] In the trailer for the one-fourth season, while shooting the sex scene between Ramsay and Myranda, Myranda is shown striking Ramsay ampere well as strangling him, but the outstanding was cut, and in a “ Behind the scenes ” video of the one-sixth temper, Jon is shown double-axe-handling Ramsay deoxyadenosine monophosphate well as punching him, which was besides cut .

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Ramsay Snow is Roose Bolton ‘s bogus son. He is an atrocious homo which tied splendorous garb can not disguise. He is big boned and slope shouldered, with a fleshiness to him that suggests that belated in life sentence he will turn to fat. Ramsay is a sadistic sociopath and series raper and murderer. He is barbarous, feral and barbarian, taking enchant in torturing others. He is quite affectionate of the old Bolton custom of flaying their enemies alive. Roose only acknowledged Ramsay in his adolescent years, frankincense Ramsay spent a approximate youth in poverty as the bogus son of a poor miller ‘s widow, until he somehow found out about his parentage and insisted on claiming his “ rights. ” The result is that—in contrast with Jon Snow, the bastard of Winterfell—Ramsay is a blunt, about half-feral savage who is uneducated and knows nothing about courtly demeanor. When Ramsay does send ( dictated ) letters to his enemies, they are frequently highly crass, unstructured, and blunt, laced with profanity and taunting threats, and with pieces of human skin enclosed. While the letter Ramsay sends to Balon in the Season 3 finale of the television receiver series is not deliver in the books, it closely matches his “ write style ” from the novels. One day, Ramsay ’ s mother appeared at Dreadfort to demand that Roose provide her a servant for Ramsay, who was growing up wilderness and boisterous. He gave her one of his servants known as “ Reek ” for his malodor. It was meant to be a barbarous antic, but Reek and Ramsay became inseparable, and committed together feral atrocities. Roose himself has no estimate if it was Ramsay who corrupted Reek, or the early way around. ironically, Ramsay actually slightly seems to like his mother, and speaks highly of her—she is after all the one who convinced him to go to the Dreadfort to pursue his “ rights ”, though she besides found him wild and disobedient. furthermore, Ramsay has actually convinced himself that Roose fell in love with his mother at first gear sight, and thinks of their union as a poetic love story. In reality, Roose raped the miller ‘s wife on a caprice, under the very tree he had her conserve hanged from, and afterwards was casually disappoint that raping her was n’t as physically enjoyable as he ‘d thought it would be. One of Ramsay ‘s most monstrous hobbies is to have unseasoned women stripped naked and released into the Bolton forests, before hunting them with a pack of female feral dogs, that are measuredly trained to be condemnable and mean-tempered. If the women do not give him good frolic in the hunt, he punishes them by raping them, then flaying them alert. If the women give him good sport in the hunt, however, he will grant them the mercifulness of a agile death … after raping them first. He then flays their corpses. He names new female hunting dogs after the women who gave him the most enjoyable hunts before he killed them, as a warped room to “ honor ” them. The skins of his kills are brought back with him to the Dreadfort as ghastly trophies. The bodies of the women are fed to his dogs. Ramsay is introduced in A Clash of Kings , though his appearance in the television receiver series was pushed binding until the third temper. He is first mentioned by Lady Donella Hornwood who notes that he is massing troops at the Dreadfort. She sends him a message inquiring about his intentions, and he impolitely answers that it is none of her business. Following the deaths of Lady Hornwood ‘s conserve and son, Ramsay forces her to marry him and to sign a will that name him as her heir, so he can inherit her lands. He rapes her and locks her in a tugboat, and does not give her any food. When Ser Rodrik Cassel ultimately arrived to free her, it was besides late—she starved to death, after gnawing off all of her fingers. As one of Ramsay ‘s favorite distortion tactics, he had flayed the peel off of all of the honest-to-god woman ‘s fingers, leaving her to bite them off as the only way to end the agony, after which in craze from hunger she ate some. Ramsay late gleefully boasts about this skill. Ramsay and his handmaid “ Reek ” late caught a peasant female child and raped her to death. Reek continued even after the daughter died. It is then that Ser Rodrik ‘s men found them. Ramsay is purportedly killed, and Reek taken prisoner to Winterfell. Rodrik wished to put Reek to death, but needed him alive as a spectator to many of Ramsay ‘s crimes, hoping that after Roose Bolton heard his fib, he would abandon his title for the Hornwood lands. When Roose is informed about Ramsay ‘s alleged death, he responds coldly “ A fate he no doubt earned. Tainted blood is ever treacherous, and Ramsay’s nature was sly, greedy, and cruel. I count myself well rid of him. The trueborn sons my young wife has promised me would never have been safe while he lived. ” Roose ‘s last sentence, which he repeats in the fifth novel, is possibly a bode of Ramsay ‘s despicable deeds in the prove ( which have not been performed in the books, at least not yet ). After Theon takes Winterfell, Reek offers to serve him if released from captivity. He becomes one of Theon ‘s purportedly more trustworthy attendants, helping him hunt for Bran and Rickon. It is Reek who advises Theon to kill and flay two nameless miller ‘s sons to pass off as the Starks, and Theon accepts his advice. Afterwards, Theon orders Reek to secretly murder Gelmarr, Aggar, and Gynir for their cognition of the truth, and he does. Since Theon needs a scapegoat, he falsely accuses Farlen the kennelmaster and executes him. Theon does not kill Reek, fearing that the abuse hid a written account of what they had done. After Rodrik defeats Dagmer Cleftjaw at Torrhen ‘s Square, the Northmen parade on Winterfell to liberate it. Theon refuses to give up the castle, using Beth Cassel as hostage to prevent Rodrik from attacking, and his men prepare to make a final resist. reek offers to help Theon by taking a boastfully kernel of money to the Dreadfort and returning with much-needed reinforcements, asking for Palla in return. Theon does not trust Reek but reluctantly agrees, since he has no early choice. He promises to give Palla to Reek provide that he brings two hundred men. When Northmen led by Rodrik Cassel surround Winterfell, an united states army of 600 men bearing the flay man of House Bolton arrives, led by a cryptic armored captain. As Rodrik offers his hand in friendship, the captain cuts off his arm and the Bolton army attack the other Northmen and defeat them, suffering only minor casualties. They enter the palace and the captain presents Theon with the bodies of Rodrik, Leobald Tallhart, and Cley Cerwyn. He removes his helmet and reveals himself to be Reek, then reveals that he is in fact the real number Ramsay Snow. He had switched clothes with the real reek when Rodrik arrived to cheat death and get into Winterfell, while Reek was killed by Rodrik ‘s men. He tells Theon that he would much enjoy the use of his bed-warmer Kyra rather of Palla, and when Theon refuses, Ramsay knocks him out. Ramsay and his men then put Winterfell to the torch and its people to the sword ( among them Maester Luwin ), vitamin a well as abducting Theon and killing about all the other ironborn. only Wex, Theon ‘s dumb servant, is neither killed nor taken captive, since he hides in the godswood. He follows Osha and Rickon, then goes to the White Harbor and tells Lord Wyman Manderly ( using augury language ) about Ramsay ‘s deeds and where Osha and Rickon went. In addition to Theon, Ramsay took two of Lord Frey ‘s grandsons ( “ Big ” Walder and “ fiddling ” Walder ) who were being fostered at Winterfell, Kyra and six women of the palace staff, among them Palla, Old Nan, and Beth Cassel. The two Frey boys soon entered into Bolton service as Ramsay ‘s squires, after the Freys and Boltons united to betray the Starks at the Red Wedding and switched commitment to the Lannisters. As for the seven female captives : according to Lord Wyman Manderly ( who has heard it from Wex ), Ramsay roped them together and marched them to the Dreadfort. The books reveal explicitly merely what he did to Kyra. The remaining six women are listed in the appendix of the fourth fresh as being held captive in Dreadfort, and their destiny is unknown ; they have probably been molested and killed like Kyra and many of Ramsay ‘s other female victims, but it is uncertain. It is indecipherable from the books whether Ramsay contacted his founder after Theon let him go, got orders from Roose to destroy Winterfell and followed them, or that he committed all the above actions on his own and lone late reported what he had done to Roose, who had independently come to the same conclusion that the clock was ripe to betray the Starks. Roose Bolton and the Freys lie about their reports from what happened at Winterfell. Lothar Frey and Walder Rivers inform Robb and Catelyn that they got a letter from Lord Frey ‘s grandsons : Winterfell has been destroyed and Ser Rodrik was killed by the ironborn, but the survivors were taken to the Dreadfort by Ramsay. Lothar and Walder claim not to be sure of Theon ‘s destine. When Roose reports Ramsay ‘s actions to Robb ( falsely making it sound as if Ramsay saved the day by driving the ironborn from Winterfell ), Catelyn sharply reminds him that Ramsay has committed many nauseating crimes, among them murder and rape. Roose answers coolly that after the war is over, Ramsay will be tried for his crimes, and possibly his deeds will atone for the crimes he committed—or not. He is not excessively concerned of the possibility that Ramsay may be executed ( particularly because he knows Robb will not live farseeing enough to judge Ramsay ). Ramsay ‘s anguish and castration of Theon are not directly described in A Storm of Swords, but preferably alluded to in A Dance with Dragons. Ramsay does not send a letter and a box containing Theon ‘s genitals to Balon Greyjoy, the Greyjoys remaining oblivious to Theon ‘s survival. Ramsay does send his beget some skin flayed from Theon ‘s finger, which Lord Bolton shows to Robb and Catelyn before the Red Wedding as proof that Theon is being punished for his betrayal. Ramsay sends a letter of warning to Asha, in which a patch of Theon ‘s skin is enclosed, but that happens much later. Neither Asha nor any of the ironborn know what happened to Theon, believing him to be dead ( though a few ironborn lords indicate out that his death was never confirmed ). Arguably this is the only “ sane ” cause that Ramsay kept Theon alert, though the chief reason was still that Ramsay took sadistic hilarity in unfairly inflicting torture on a random person. The succession laws in the newly independent Iron Islands are unclear, i.e. Asha/Yara feels that as the older sibling she is the successor, but according to the most coarse inheritance law in the Seven Kingdoms, as Balon ‘s alone surviving son Theon is the successor to the Iron Islands. Ramsay is not plainly holding Theon hostage, as he has no intention of letting him leave alive and makes no attack to contact the Greyjoys about his survival. Rather, Ramsay ‘s goal was this very doubt : even if Theon were dead, the ironborn ‘s credit line of succession would at least be clear, but not revealing the destine of Balon ‘s heir generated confusion and protest within their ranks. The television interpretation altered this, but still makes net that Ramsay never offers hostage terms for Theon. In the television version, Ramsay ‘s plan is that slowly torturing Theon and mailing pieces of him to Pyke will finally frighten the Greyjoys into withdrawing from the North. Another possible reason for Ramsay ‘s treatment of Theon is that Ramsay resents him for the time he served Theon in Winterfell, disguised as the original Reek. The fact that Theon treated Ramsay rather correctly and followed his nauseating advices ( among them, killing the miller ‘s sons to cover the escape of the Stark boys ) makes no difference to Ramsay. In his eyes that servitude was humiliating, and it is his twist way to pay Theon back by reversing the roles : now he is the overcome and Theon is Reek the handmaid. Roose is very dissatisfy with several aspects of Ramsay ‘s behavior :

Ramsay commits his atrocities openly. Roose chides Ramsay (generally, not in respect to any specific deed of Ramsay) that he hears everywhere tales about him, and that people fear him. Ramsay comments that it is good, but Roose answers, “You are mistaken. It is not good. No tales were ever told of me. Do you think I would be sitting here if it were otherwise? Your amusements are your own, I will not chide you on that count, but you must be more discreet. A peaceful land, a quiet people. That has always been my rule. Make it yours.” It seems Ramsay is unimpressed by his father’s rebuke.

Ramsay is indifferent to the fact that nearly all the houses in the North hate the Boltons. Instead of amicably treating the Boltons’ extremely few loyal vassals (Houses Ryswell and Dustin) and allies (House Frey), Ramsay does the opposite:
- When hearing that Lady Dustin cannot abide him, he contemplates aloud about giving her the traditional Bolton treatment, and burning down her town. Roose winces at that and chides, “There are times you make me wonder if you truly are my seed. My forebears were many things, but never fools.”
- Ramsay and his men go to look for three Freys who disappeared mysteriously on their way from White Harbor to Winterfell, but do not find them. Ramsay is not concerned about his failure, dismissing it nonchalantly with “The world won’t miss a few Freys. There’s plenty more down at the Twins should we ever have need of one.”

Ramsay speaks openly about the Stark boys, who were allegedly killed by Theon. Roose asks him sharply how many of their grudging friends they’d retain if the truth was known.

Ramsay would not let anyone take his place as Roose’s heir. Roose suspects, and is probably correct, that Ramsay murdered his trueborn half-brother Domeric, and intends to do the same with any trueborn children Walda will give birth to. In view of Ramsay’s personality, it is likely that the taboo of kinslaying is no more than a joke to him.

Although Ramsay is noted as being a boisterous combatant, he is undisciplined in war, lacking form or delicacy, and is described as wielding his sword like a meat cleaver. Roose admits it is not wholly Ramsay ‘s fault, it is because Reek ( the original ) was his only tutor, and Reek himself was never trained at arms. In the television series, however, he is depicted as a deadly hunter and archer, easily dispatching six of his own men within seconds. According to Roose, Ramsay has deluded himself into believing that massacring unarmed prisoners ( such as at Winterfell and Moat Cailin ) makes him a skilled battlefield commanding officer, when in fact he has never won a real number battle. He besides receives a long call on the carpet from his father for flaying alive unarmed men who surrendered Moat Cailin after Ramsay promised them dependable passage home. Roose points out that Ramsay will never be trusted again, and the enemies of the Boltons will nowadays fight to the death rather than surrender to them. In the books, Roose never speaks about Ramsay ‘s conduct at Moat Cailin, nor about its long-range applications. In the books, Ramsay is known for his ostentatious taste in clothes ; garbing himself in velvet, silk, and satin, normally in the Bolton colors—pink and red. In the appearance, however, Ramsay ‘s attire is well more overcome, in arrange to fit in with the established olive drab dress code for northern characters. That being said, the leather jerkin Ramsay wears in season four is, in fact, a very iniquity shade of red purple : a subtle reference to his literary counterpart. Ramsay marries a imposter Stark ( actually Jeyne Poole, masquerading as Arya Stark alternatively of Sansa ) besides procured by Littlefinger, alternatively of Sansa Stark herself. In turn, Sansa is betrothed to Harrold Hardyng, Lord Robert Arryn ‘s improbable successor, alternatively of Ramsay. Ramsay subjects Jeyne to emotional and physical torture, even forcing Reek to take part. When Stannis Baratheon ‘s united states army approaches, Ramsay prepares to lead a counterattack, but the actual battle has yet to be depicted.
