Who is the most-feared character in ‘Game of Thrones’?
Ramsay Bolton’s emblem, an upside-down flayed figure, appropriately encapsulates his brutality and sadistic tendencies. He took great pleasure in tormenting and lying to others. He tortured Theon Greyjoy in several ways, calling him “Reek” and claiming that Theon had been castrated while munching on a sausage in front of him.
