His Evil Ranking[]
Hs Villainous Deeds[]
- Beside Lothar Frey he come to a meeting with Robb to convince him to marry his uncle, Edmure Tully to one of their sisters, Roslyn Frey. The purpose of the arrival is to reassure Rob of suspicion that Walder is organizing a coup against him.
- Helps orchestrate the Red Wedding that dishonored their hospitality and cost the lives of many people.
- He slits Catelyn Stark's throat slowly.
- After Walder becomes Lord of Riverrun and Brandon Tully manages to take over he takes the Frey army to overthrow him. When he and his brother are unsuccessful they seek help from House Lannister, which is not directly involved in this conflict.
- Although the battle was ultimately averted it cost Bryndon Tully his life and almost ended in the death of Edmure's son, had he not cooperated with them.
- He shares in the threat on Edmure's life, although they stopped it when they realized it wouldn't stop Bryndon Tully.
- He was even more sadistic than his brother and started fighting Jamie for using Edom to prevent the siege, causing Jamie to punch him in the nose.
Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- While he's helping to plan the Red Wedding, which crosses the baseline, still he falls too far in relation to the actions of the other fighters in the series and despite his involvement in the Red Wedding he only murdered one woman, unlike many who murdered many in the Red Wedding as well. Also it was his father's and Roose Bolton's idea (with Tywin Lannister's encouragement) and he was just fulfilling their plan. This causes him to fail the high heinous standards of the series.
