Biography[]

Background[]

Rodrik was the oldest son of Balon Greyjoy and Alannys Harlaw. Rodrik used to be the captain of the Black Wind. After his father crowned himself King of the Iron Islands and rebelled against the Iron Throne, Rodrik was killed by Lord Jason Mallister at an assault on Seagard.[1] Balon blamed Eddard Stark for his son's death.[2]

Game of Thrones: Season 1[]

Tyrion mentions the deaths of Theon's brothers during the rebellion. He wonders what Balon would make of Theon's loyalty to House Stark given that he is Balon's only surviving son.[3]

Game of Thrones: Season 2[]

Balon reminds Theon the death of his brothers, bitterly demanding to know whether he has forgotten his own blood. Theon answers that he remembers his brothers. Balon mentions that Yara took over command of Rodrik's ship after his death.[2]

Theon tries to dissuade his father from his plan of invasion, claiming that Robb won't give up the North so easily. Balon tells him harshly that his brothers were killed at the hands of those he seems so eager to protect.[4]

Theon reminds Ser Rodrik Cassel that his brothers were killed fighting Stark men, men like him; Ser Rodrik angrily retorts that they died fighting a war Theon's father started.[5]

In the books[]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Rodrik led a raid on the coastal castle Seagard during the Greyjoy Rebellion. He was killed by Lord Jason Mallister beneath the walls of Seagard.

There is no mentioning in the novels that Rodrik was the former captain of the Black Wind.

In A Clash of Kings and A Dance with Dragons it is revealed that Rodrik and Maron used to bully Theon.[7][8] Even after so many years, Theon still remembers the beating and cruel japes he suffered from them. He does not resent Lord Jason for killing Rodrik.
