Once a laid-back fellow who partied too hard, Aeron suffered a [[Near -Death Experience]] that left him a changed man. As a fervent priest of the Drowned God, he is fiercely dedicated to his faith and seeks to hold the Iron Islands to the old traditions. Needless to say, having Theon (whom he sees as weak), Asha (who seeks to disrupt the patriarchal order of House Greyjoy), and Euron (self-explanatory) in his family complicates this.
 
* [[The Fundamentalist]]
Line 104:
* [[Knight Templar]]
* [[Large Ham]]: "NO GODLESS MAN MAY SIT THE SEASTONE CHAIR!"
* [[Near -Death Experience]]
* [[Rape As Drama]]: It's strongly implied that Euron sexually abused him as a child. This is the source of the bedroom door's screaming hinge, and the reason he hates Euron so much.
* [[Red Baron]]: He is much more commonly called Damphair or The Damphair than his real name due to his habit of bathing in the ocean. Similarly, his followers are called The Drowned Men.
Line 121:
** [[Badass Abnormal]]: After Moqorro heals his arm with magic, causing it to appear burned while also massively increasing his already prodigious strength.
** [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Not that he particularly need it, but in ''A Dance with Dragons'', he {{spoiler|gets a super-strong new arm and is poised to claim the dragon horn Euron gave him.}}
** [[Four -Star Badass]]: He's pretty much the Commander-in-Chief of the Ironborn armies.
* [[Blood Knight]]: He likes battle, especially when the enemy puts up a good fight.
* [[The Berserker]]: ''"Come!"'' he roared, ''"Come and kill me if you can."''
Line 136:
* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Victarion does many monstrously evil actions, but doesn't see them that way because he's so devoted to Ironborn morals and traditions to be consciously evil. 'Evil' is also such a relative thing in this setting...
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]: Given that the Ironborn are basically Vikings, this was to be expected.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Male On Male)]]: Doesn't quite have this attitude, but certainly does not see it as a big deal. When a maester on his ship comes to him to tell him that three men dragged him into the hold and "used him as a woman", Victarion treats it as a tiresome complaint, and simply tells him to man up and gives him a dagger to stop it happening again (despite being well aware the man will probably not be able to use it.) Later, when his arm is hurt, he tells the same maester "I'll make the crew a gift of your arse" if he can't heal him.
* [[Real Men Love Jesus|Real Men Love The Drowned God]]: Victarion is a very, very religious man. So much so that he has no fear of drowning and wears extremely heavy (and protective) armour even while sailing. In the Ironborn's faith, if a man dies by drowning the Drowned God take his souls to his watery halls (think Valhalla with a slight underwater theme) to drink and fight and feast and fuck mermaids (don't think too hard about the last part) for eternity. {{spoiler|After Moqorro heals his arm he starts worshiping R'hilor a bit on the side too.}}
* [[Right Hand of Doom]]: The "volcanic arm" he gets after being healed by Moqorro in ADWD.
Line 166:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Pirate]]: Euron takes the reaving culture of the Ironmen [[Up to Eleven]]. After getting ostracized, he spent his time looting and pillaging his way through distant lands.
* [[Post -Rape Taunt]]: Euron seduced his brother Victarion's wife, and by Ironmen custom Victarion had to kill her to keep his honor. We only have Euron's word on whether or not it was consensual.
{{quote| '''Euron:''' She came to me wet and willing. It seems Victarion is big everywhere but where it matters.}}
* [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone]]: ... maybe. In one scene he describes a dream that sounds similar to Bran's coma visions. Whether it's the same thing or not has [[Epileptic Trees|planted some trees]].
