As is often the case, the sordid new story only increased the house’s profile and market value. Its transformation from private family home into hip showplace had already happened in 2001, when flamboyant real estate entrepreneur Xorin Balbes bought the home from the Mazur family for $1.2 million. In 1945, Dr. George Hodel purchased the already iconic house, which was so confusing to most average mortals. The suave, brilliant doctor's VD clinic catered to many elite Angelenos, and his friends included Surrealist artist Man Ray and director John Huston.

The Lord eventually got killed at Faircastle by a woman named Tess. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Greyjoys have been a powerful family in the Islands for possibly thousands of years, long ruling the formidable castle of Pyke. When King Harren the Black was slain by King Aegon the Conqueror during the Targaryen invasion, the ironborn elected Lord Vickon Greyjoy of Pyke to succeed him as ruler of the isles, now oath-sworn to the Iron Throne. With 5+ saves and 7+ morale these guys crumple like wet cardboard.

Theon Greyjoy
She’s one of the best characters in the game and defines the faction. It’s the feeling of pouring endless necromantic healing into your skeleton legions; of keeping your soldiers on the brink of death but never dead, and always on the verge of surging back. It has no cavalry, no war machines, and synergizes badly with mercenaries. It’s an awkward state for the faction to be in which I believe will totally turn around when they finally release the damn ballista. Theon asks his sister Yara to bring reinforcements, but instead she arrives with a paltry force to warn Theon of his untenable position and to return to the Iron Islands. Theon refuses, and soon afterwards Winterfell is besieged by men of House Bolton commanded by (the then unnamed) Ramsay Snow, the sadistic bastard son of Lord Roose Bolton.
Lord Toron Greyjoy
If a unit is destroyed on turn 2, which is already unlikely, and Balon is already on the board, he brings it back on turn 3, and it doesn’t get to activate again until turn 4. If that sequence starts on turn 3 his unit might get its next activation on turn 5. Potentially invaluable against blowout units like lance cavalry or Mag the Mighty, but a finicky thing to get the timing right for. At the beginning of turn two you have Bless With Stone, Bless With Steel, Raiding Call, The Iron Price, We Do Not Sow and What Is Dead May Never Die in hand.
He becomes one of Robb’s guards and fights the battle in the Whispering Woods. He travels to Riverrun with Robb, where the latter gets named King in the North. After Lord Jon Arryn passes away, King Robert Baratheon travels to Winterfell and asks Eddard Stark to become the new Hand of the King. Upon accepting, he leaves Winterfell and his son, Robb Stark, who becomes Lord of Winterfell.
This is a guy who waited until the moment of rescue to attack, spent the bulk of the battle pacing the sideline with Belichickian disdain, and then, when the day was his, gazed upon the losers and basically gave them one of these. We don’t even know the dude’s name, but he’s already the biggest and best villain in a show lousy with them. Ramsay is a monster, sure, but Edgar is a force of fucking nature. Wendamyr is the second best NCU in the faction, though he’s at his best as the third NCU where he competes directly against a unit of Drowned Men. He lets you bank mediocre tactics zones for later and is one of the only ways to enhance mobility of a very slow faction. Oh, and he’s another source of healing, and one with extremely permissive timing and range.
Sworn Houses
If Asha isn’t your commander, she’s here as the one point Captain of the Black Wind. There’s no better thing to spend your point on in the game – Warcry and +2 morale to Ironmakers turns them into absolute bricks, offensively and defensively. Speaking of morale, the Would Be Queen again suffers the main problem of not being Captain Asha.
Rodrik Harlaw is a way to mill your tactics cards for the right things, but I’ve never felt for his lack. The Greyjoy deck is so roundly good that I find I rarely have a hand full of things I can’t use. Put this into a unit that Dagmer is engaging with Gang Up and you’ll get a blowout the likes of which normally only Free Folk see. Lust for Glory is also a good way to safeguard a unit of Ironmakers after they use Iron Price to heal themselves up.

During the imprisonment, Ramsay severely tortured and abused Theon physically and psychologically, forcing him to take the name of “Reek”. One of the salt-sons of Dalton Greyjoy who became the new Lord of Pyke in the aftermath of the Red Kraken's death. His claim was disputed by his aunts and several cousins, while others supported his half-brother Rodrik instead. The brutal retaliation of the Westerlanders allowed him to solidify his rule, at only six years old. The late fourth son of Quellon Greyjoy and his wife of House Sunderly.
They can’t take a hit and if you are tempted to build an army out of them you’ll find you just get crushed on the counterswing. Healing doesn’t save them either, it’s inefficient to heal something so fragile and they’ll tap your resources too quickly. If you bring one it’s as a hammer unit to go alongside your heavy infantry anvil. The problem comes when, upon looking at Euon, you think that Intimidating Presence means you need to build a panic bomb list around him.
Euron quickly claims the Seastone Chair as the oldest surviving brother of Balon. However, Aeron calls for a kingsmoot, hoping that Victarion will succeed Balon to the Seastone Chair instead of Euron, whom Aeron despises. Euron is crowned, however, beating out Asha, Victarion, and several other claimants by promising to conquer all the green lands using the dragons of Daenerys Targaryen. Aeron disappears shortly after the kingsmoot, vowing to rouse the people against the "godless" Euron.
