In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Euron is a wildly unpredictable man, known for his delight in playing vicious mind games and waging psychological warfare on anyone and everyone around him. He is hated by all his brothers, particularly Victarion. He wears a patch over his left eye, which is nicknamed his "Crow's Eye", though it is unclear what he hides beneath the patch.
Euron has never been married. He has several bastard children, but does not have any regard for any of them, none were officially acknowledged, and none has been introduced in the narrative.
Several years ago, Euron seduced - perhaps raped - and impregnated Victarion's third wife, which drove Victarion to beat her to death so he would not be put to shame as a cuckold. Only the taboo against kinslaying kept Victarion from killing Euron too. As punishment, Balon exiled Euron from the Iron Islands, so he is not present when Theon returns to Pyke. Victarion deeply hates Euron for that and wishes him dead.
