Martin’s novels who’ve been skipped grows.
So, you thought HBOsGame of Throneshad a ton of characters, huh?
Martin characters that have not yet popped up on the series, despite appearing in the novels corresponding events.
Whether showrunners David Benioff and D.B.
Weiss wanted to tighten the narrative or to simplify things (HA!)
for the hourlong installments ofGame of Thronesis not for us to say.
Strong Belwas
One of the most notable exclusions on TVsGame of Thronesis the gigantic gladiator Strong Belwas.
Other than killing, all Belwas really does is eat.
Euron eventually showed up, but in a truncated introduction that awkwardly combined him and Victarion.
He is a skilled sailor and a natural born leader.
Victarion hates Euron but supports his claim out of loyalty to his family.
He was accompanied by Big Walder, and the two became friends with Rickon Stark.
Little Walder is the larger of the pair, but both were skilled fighters who enjoyed pushing others around.
Maybe, thats why Martin takes so long writing these books?
Fans of the show must be content with just one Walder Frey.
They are heavily armed brutes that are fiercely loyal to their Lady.
These two warriors are a reminder just how dangerous Lady Olenna could be despite her advanced age.
If you mess with this rose, Lady Olenna has two giant pricks to verify you bleed.
On TV, the Queen of Thorns does her own pricking.
Unlike poor Talisa, Jeynedoes not attend the Red Weddingand is still alive deep into the books.
Jeyne is a devoted and simple woman who loves Robb unconditionally but is overwhelmed by the conflict around her.
As fans know, Locke then forced Brienne of Tarth to fight a giant bear in a pit.
Hoats wound festers and he becomes delirious but is still determined to hold the Keep of Herrenhal.

Patchface
Patchface is one of the most chilling characters introduced inA Clash of Kings.
Patchface (or Patches) was once a famed jester, known far and wide in the Seven Kingdoms.
So the humorless Stannis grew up with a mad fool who babbled about the things down below.
He was a mentally disabled young man who entertained his guests in his fools motley at the Red Wedding.
Walder says that he would gladly trade a half-wit grandson for the life of Robb Stark.
As Robb is slaughtered, Catelyn cuts the cognitively impaired jesters throat.
Benioff and Weiss have chosem not to spring Lady Stoneheart on us, which has divided fans ever since.
When Reek returns, it is revealed that he was actually Ramsay Snow the whole time.
The newly revealed Ramsay betrays and imprisons Theon, and Greyjoys torturous road begins.
The original Reek disguised himself as Ramsay and sacrificed himself so the bastard could live.
All that is known about the original Reek was that he smells like excrement and is a vicious killer.
But what is known is that the legend of Reek began the story of the Bastard of Bolton.
The TV series simplified Ramsays story and made Theon the first Reek andGame of Thronesversion of Gollum.
Arianne is stunningly beautiful and a young woman who has great ambition.
After Oberyns death, George R.R.
Soon, Aurane becomes a favorite of one Cersei Lannister, who makes him admiral of the Kings fleet.
He soon joins the Small Counsel of King Tommen and becomes a major player in Kings Landing.
Waters takes part in many of Cerseis machinations but has yet to join the kings court on television.
It appears some of his functions were transferred over to Euron Greyjoy in season 7 of the TV series.
Jeyne Poole
Jeyne Poole was Sansa Starks best friend when she lived in Winterfell.
Think of Jeyne and Sansa as the Westerosi version ofHeathers.
