Biography
Season 2
Theon and Drowned Priest on the shore of Pyke.
When Theon returns to the Iron Islands, he must make a choice of who his primary allegiance is to: Robb Stark as King in the North or his father who plans to attack the North. After a great deal of soul searching, he decides he is a Greyjoy first and to show this he is baptized in the name of the Drowned God.
The Drowned Priest is the one who conducts the baptism of Theon Greyjoy on his return to Pyke.[1]

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Aeron Greyjoy presides over Theon's baptism. Given that Aeron "Damphair" Greyjoy is Theon's uncle and an important character in later books in the series, the producers wanted to forgo having to make a major casting decision until his main storyline begins.[2]
