Theon Greyjoy was in the Stark family for a reason. His father was defeated, and he turned out to be a real hostage. But Eddard Stark did not see the threat in a ten-year-old boy, he allowed the guy to live with his native children. It was a global mistake that every member of the royal family would have to pay for.
The "brother" of the king
As soon as Eddard Stark dies, real chaos begins in all kingdoms. In the North, Robb, with whom Theon Greyjoy is friends, occupies the throne. Very young men become participants in hostilities, they protect each other. Robb Stark admits that Theon is not only a friend to him, but also a brother.
Such a statement gives the former hostage courage and special confidence. He wants to be the right hand of the true king and is ready to give his life for Robb.
Traitor warrior
The series "Game of Thrones" captures the audience, especially when the second season begins. Robb Stark needs allies and new warriors, he asks his friend Theon to ask his father for help. The guy equips on the road, but at home he is not welcome. His sister calls him a traitor, and his father believes that he betrayed the young king of the North. But he found a real family, or is it just an illusion?
Theon Greyjoy becomes a traitor and attacks the fortress Torchenov Udel. He kills old warriors and mimics the death of little heirs. The bodies of charred children were hung out for review by their own army and local residents, only this ashes did not belong to the royal family. Theon feels like a real warrior and is ready to shed the blood of innocent people endlessly.
Stinky Acolyte
The Game of Thrones is addictive with its intricate storyline and unpredictability. So this time the traitor warrior gets what he deserves. He is again a prisoner, only this time he is not accepted as a member of the family, but ruthlessly tortured. Ramsey (the bastard of Ruse Bolton) plays disgusting games with a living person, he even castrates Theon and sends this souvenir to his father. The king does not react to this “gift” in any way, but his sister is determined, she wants to return the unfortunate brother to her own fortress.
Theon Greyjoy obediently obeys Ramsey's orders and even responds to the nickname "Smelly." He is humiliated, beaten and oppressed, but the former warrior is no longer concerned. He likes his new role. But the situation changes when Ramsey becomes the husband of Lady Sense Stark. She is given to the mad bastard, who is looking forward to the wedding night. The wedding becomes a real test for the young princess, all her husbands are tyrants and heartless people. So this time she is raped and beaten by her own spouse. Theon oversees all these events and decides to rebel against his master.
Who played Theon
The unfortunate Theon Greyjoy turned out to be very colorful and a bit strange. The actor who played it claims that it is difficult to transform from a strong personality into a fallen person. Played a stinky guy born in 1986. He appeared in a family of successful actors and producers, so no one doubted his success. Alfie Allen for this role was approved back in 2009. It was then that the guy was given the script and asked to study his actor in detail. He thought a lot about what this Theon should be like.
According to the plot, as a boy he was taken from Baylon's father. Their meeting should be special, so the actor intentionally did not meet the actor who performed his parent. So Alfie managed to convey the excitement from the first meeting. Critics claim that his role is one of the most difficult. At first Theon was a friend of the royal children, then he became the brother of the young king. Then the guy tried on the mask of a ruthless warrior and then turned into a fallen man who dutifully followed the orders of a madman.
This is actually a huge job. Thanks to such people, the series turned out to be interesting and exciting. All roles were performed perfectly, the actors daily got used to the roles, and the set turned into a real fairy-tale country. The coordinated work of all staff and actors gave such positive results. Fans are looking forward to the new season, in which Theon will be new and completely different. For an actor, this is a great experience when in one project you can play completely different people. You can show your talent to the fullest.
