By the fifth book he's been driven through insanity and out the other end by Ramsay Bolton's tortures, and now has a few fewer fingers, toes and teeth. His mind shifts from his new identity of Reek, Ramsay's slave, to his memories of who he once was and back again. In more recent years, the Ironmen chose the Greyjoys as their leaders after Aegon The Conqueror cooked Harren The Black of House Hoare in his newly finished castle of Harrenhal. The Greyjoys believe their history to trace as far back as the Age of Heroes. They claim to be descendants of the Grey King who, as legend has it, slew the sea dragon Nagga and ruled for one thousand and seven years. When the ironborn began choosing their leaders through the kingsmoot, the Greyjoys, alongside House Greyiron and Goodbrother, became the top leaders, with the Greyjoys having the least amount of kings chosen.
Lord Toron Greyjoy
Theon is released from the Dreadfort to perform a mission for Ramsay, who has warped the Theon's sense of identity and formed him into a broken creature called Reek. Theon is sent to Moat Cailin to treat with the Ironborn garrison there, where he succeeds in getting them to surrender by promising safe passage. However, Ramsay breaks his promise of safe passage and all sixty three of the surviving Ironborn garrison are flayed alive. However, as of the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings, House Greyjoy has once again become a powerful force in Westeros and has influenced various key events in the war.
Houses sworn to House Greyjoy

The attacks all go to plan, however Theon, in an attempt to prove himself to his father, captures Winterfell in a daring raid.

Getting the two Ironmakers up to 3+ saves can be done before the lines clash with Erik, and from there they’ll power up to their 2+ saves very quickly. Only two things wanting pillage token and two other things sharing Pillage tokens makes it very easy to keep both Ironmakers at full power even if you spend their tokens out with The Iron Price. Beron’s influence usually stays on Qarl’s Blacktyde – with it, they can engage 3 units simultaneously and not die.

With its seat on the Island of Pyke, it has rivaled many houses for power over centuries. Meanwhile, King Balon dies from a fall at Pyke, just a day before Euron returns from his exile. Aeron calls for a Kingsmoot, hoping that the captains will choose Victarion as the person to succeed Balon. Euron wins, however, beating out Asha, Victarion, and several others, by vowing to conquer the greenlands with dragons.
"Like their dragons the Targaryens answered to neither gods nor men." Yara decides to retake the Iron Islands while Euron is preoccupied in King's Landing, but gives Theon her blessing to travel to Winterfell with his men to stand with the Starks against the White Walkers. He reunites with Sansa and pledges fealty to House Stark for the impending battle. After Jon captures a wight beyond the Wall, Theon joins Daenerys, Jon, and their retinues as they present the wight to Queen Cersei Lannister as evidence of the White Walkers' threat. During the meeting, Theon is confronted by Euron, who threatens to execute Yara if Theon does not bend the knee to him.
The Ironmakers, with support from the Drowned Men and a steady flow of Greyjoy healing cards, will stand up to anything they’re in contact with. If someone tries to slip around into your rear the Drowned Men acting as a mobile reserve can body block or countercharge. If your opponent abandons a flank you can redeploy the Drowned Men or Archers as an objective holder as your line wheels to match.
Upon beginning his rebellion, his brothers, Victarion Greyjoy and Euron Greyjoy, burned the Lannisters’ fleet at Lannisport. After Toron Greyjoy, Lord Alton, known as the Holy Fool, became the next Lord of the Iron Islands. During his time, he tried to conquer the lands beyond the Lonely Light but failed as no one had ever crossed the Sunset Sea, a mysterious sea riddled with mysteries. During Aerys I Targaryen’s reign, he raided the town of Little Dosk and destroyed half of the village; this led Lord Beron Stark and House Lannister to gather arms against him. Ultimately, he got defeated, and his son, Lord Quellon Greyjoy, took over but died supporting Robert Baratheon during Robert’s Rebellion. House Greyjoy of Pyke is one of the Great Houses of Westeros and the principal noble house in the Iron Islands, a harsh and bleak collection of forbidding islands off the west coast.
Indeed, Victarion can be such a buzzsaw with his zone replace cards that he’s definitely a 3-NCU commander. All his cards support getting there fast and murdering the hell out whatever he got at. Even better with Nute letting you threaten the buzzsaw in two different locations depending on how the table works out. Baelor Blacktyde is the Hardened Commander, and for many of you that’s all you need to know. Hardened is one of the best Abilities in the game, especially with all of Baelor’s cards that work alongside it. Between Hardened, What is Dead, and To The Last it might just be impossible to take Baelor off the board – and it might be simply not worth it to attack him.
Northern forces rally under Ser Rodrik Cassel, but they are betrayed by Ramsay Bolton, who sacks Winterfell and takes Theon as his prisoner. With Theon away from Pyke, Balon raised his only daughter, Asha Greyjoy, as his heir. Balon exiled his brother, Euron, for raping the third wife of another brother, Victarion. Euron has travelled the world, raiding and pillaging, and claims to have visited the ruins of Valyria.
Due to Greyjoy-produced reasons, Robb is forced to march back north to free his home from the Ironborn occupation. He is also forced to be the help of House Frey once more which is secured with the marriage of his uncle Edmure to one of Lord Walder Frey’s daughters. Shortly before his uncle's wedding, Roose Bolton reveals to Robb that Theon is being flayed by Ramsay Snow at the Dreadfort as punishment for his crimes in the North. Robb never makes it home to root out the Ironborn, however, as he is treacherously killed at the Twins.
Balbes transformed the house, spending $1.6 million dollars in the process. He added a pool in the central courtyard, covered the interior walls in metallic bronze and silver, opened up the kitchen, and added Asian-inspired statuary and ornamentation. After George died, his son Steve, a retired LAPD detective, was going through some of his father's possessions when he found two pictures of a lovely dark-haired girl. He soon became convinced that the photos were of Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia, whose unsolved 1947 murder and mutilation had long been the stuff of Hollywood legend. In 1949, Hodel’s beautiful teenage daughter Tamar ran away from the house. But like many fairytales, life in this secluded fortress was not all white knights and fairy godmothers.
