"Aggar and Gelmarr! Wex and Urzen! Stygg and Black Lorren!"
Theon lists his comrades.[src]

Aggar was an ironborn raider and a member of the Sea Bitch crew.

Biography[]

Game of Thrones: Season 2[]

His name is called out, among others, by Theon during his speech at Winterfell.[1]

Game of Thrones: Season 3[]

Balon and Yara Greyjoy learn that the ironborn captured at Winterfell were all flayed alive on Ramsay's orders, despite being promised mercy if they surrendered.[2]

In the books[]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Aggar's background is the same. He takes part in the capture of Winterfell and the hunt for Bran and Rickon.

Aggar, alongside Gelmarr and Gynir Rednose, takes part, at Theon's orders, in the abduction and killing of the unnamed miller's sons whose corpses are passed off as Bran's and Rickon's; their mother is also killed when she begs for mercy.

One day after they return from Acorn Water, Aggar is found dead, his throat slit ear to ear; Gelmarr and Gynir are also killed within a few days. Later it is revealed they were secretly killed by "Reek" (actually, Ramsay in disguise) at Theon's command, to prevent them from revealing the truth about the slain children; since Theon needs a scapegoat, he falsely accuses Farlen of the killing and executes him.

In A Dance with Dragons, when some men mysteriously die one by one at Winterfell, Theon is reminded of Aggar, Gelmarr, and Gynir.

Notes[]

  1. In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 2 in 299 AC.
