Victarion Greyjoy

Private aims within obedience

Contains spoilers through A Dance with Dragons. Television events and unfinished preview chapters are outside this collection.

The character in context

Victarion commands the Iron Fleet and prizes direct combat and the Drowned God’s traditions, yet loses the kingsmoot to Euron. Sent east to secure Daenerys for his brother, he intends to marry her himself. Moqorro treats his worsening wound and offers another interpretation of the dragon horn. Victarion sacrifices to two gods while continuing violence against captives. His voyage approaches Meereen, but success has not been shown in the published novels.
