He denounced Gregor Clegane, stripped him of ranks, titles, lands, and holdings, and sentenced him to death, sending Ser Berric Dondarrion to enforce this. A peasant came to court to tell of their homes being burned, women being raped, and children being set on fire, by a mysterious man “taller than any man I’d ever met.” The court deduces that this would be “Tywin’s mad dog,” so Ned tried to administer some justice. In season one, Ned Stark heard about the Mountain running wild in the Riverlands - at Tywin Lannister’s behest. (This is why Oberyn Martell shares an enthusiasm for “dead Lannisters,” because his family never had any justice for this.) The fact that he was knighted in the first place by Elia’s husband Rhaegar Targaryen didn’t seem to matter. Some 20 years ago, Tywin Lannister sent this most vicious brute to wipe out the Targaryens, so the Mountain bashed Elia’s son’s head against a wall, killed her daughter, and with their blood still on his hands, raped and killed Elia. And that was the kinder version of the story. “They were butchered in their sleep,” he answered. “Do you know what happened to the Targaryen children when the Mad King fell?” Catelyn Stark once asked Robb. That’s nothing compared to what the Mountain did to Elia Martell’s kids. Remember that the Hound killed Arya’s friend, Micah, the butcher’s boy. Both were asked to do horrible things, especially to children. Growing up in the employ of the Lannisters, the Cleganes followed their orders, Gregor as a knight, and Sandor as the sworn shield of Joffrey. This, of course, was just the beginning of the Mountain’s penchant for violence, especially towards those smaller than him. He just grabbed his brother by the scruff of his neck and shoved his face into the burning coals, held him there while the boy screamed while his face melted.” (“The worse thing was is that it was my brother who did it,” Sandor says when it’s finally his turn to tell the story.) One evening, Gregor found his little brother playing with a toy by the fire. Gregor, a few years older, already a big lad. Littlefinger related their “lovely little tale of brotherly love” to Sansa thusly: “The Hound was just a pup, 6 years old, maybe. And it’s amazing that Sandor even stepped up, considering his burned face came at the hand of his giant brother. Only through the intervention of his little brother, Sandor Clegane - the Hound - was he stopped. In season one of Game of Thrones, Ser Gregor Clegane was played by Conan Stevens - he was the one who shocked us at the King’s Hand tournament when he shoved a wooden lance through the throat of Ser Hugh one day, and then sliced off the head of his own mare and nearly killed Ser Loras the next. Of course, it depends which guy you’re talking about. You can’t really blame Bronn for not wanting to go up against the Mountain - have you seen that guy? He’s huge! I love you, baby!"ījörnsson's zombified "GoT" character was last seen staring down his younger brother Sandor (Rory McCann), better known as The Hound, in the Season 7 finale during a summit in King's Landing to discuss a possible truce between rival queens Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and Daenerys Targaryen until their common, enemy in the north is defeated.Mountain #3, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson. "Looking forward to pulling this big guy around for the rest of my life," Henson love you now and forever and promise to stand by your side through all that life throws at us. "I get to hold this beautiful woman through thick and thin for the rest of our lives! I’m so excited for all of the future adventures we will tackle side by side." "It is with great pleasure that I now get to call Kelsey Morgan Henson my wife!" Björnsson, 29, proclaimed. In a black-and-white photo posted to his account, he can be seen cradling her in his arms. Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who plays the massive warrior The Mountain on the HBO hit, married Kelsey Morgan Henson in his native Iceland over the weekend.Īt 6-foot-9, Björnsson stands more than a foot and a half taller than 5-foot-2 Henson, a height difference driven home by the wedding photos the couple posted on Instagram. It's not very often that nobody dies during a "Game of Thrones" wedding so those occasions are to be celebrated.
