moski5: how many times have you read the books

SIRcumalot: Eddard And Howland Reed probably cheated before they could kill the guy even Jamie reveres him.
Why did Howland Reed move out of Westeros he is a bannerMan for the Starks am I right in this ?

moski5: the description is close enof How did yu spot it

SIRcumalot: Ser Arthur Dayne Sword of the morning
Biggest Reputation,probably the best swordman ever in the world of ASOIAF

moski5: hmm faceless man or a magician

as 4 stealing identities that's rare in d book

let's c how it goes

oluamid: There are not much warriors in the real sense of the word. Rather, what we have are people who have been hyped because of their tactical nous and strategies and for winning wars. Not a lot of people fought more than a few physical battles.

For those who actually fought one and survived (and not merely by reputation) I'd name
Victarion Greyjoy
Sandor Clegane
Brienne of Tarth
Jon Snow
Arya Stark
Tyrion Lannister (Yeah, he actually fought a lot of physical battles when you think of it)
Sir Duncan Tall from "Tales of Egg and Dunk"

Warriors by reputation
Jaime Lannister: because he lost all the battles he ever fought in the book. The only one he won was against Eddard Stark and that was cos Ned was outnumbered. He has reputation though. Every character (including himself) is always waxing lyrical about his fighting prowess but the one serious fight he had with Brienne ended with a defeat.

Robert Barratheon: By the time the book started, Robert was a shadow of his old self. He was reputed to be a fierce warrior (Battle of the Trident and all) but for all of that, we didn't actually see him fight any battle except all those ones from memories of other characters.

Ser Gregor Clegane: Known as "The Mountain", Sir Gregor has one of the highest warrior reputation (though of the evil kind) in the whole seven kingdoms. Unfortunately, the only battles this evil warrior fought ended with him losing. He lost against Sir Loras Tyrel at the "Hand's Tourney" in book 1 and against Oberyn Martel (losing your life because of a fight you won does not make you fearsome does it?)

Eddard Stark(?): The Starks are known for being hard, cold and honourable and I guess Eddard is as Stark as they come. We didn't get to see him do much physical battle except against Jaime Lannister (where he ended up with a broken leg), but The Tower of Joy and other long gone battles give him some warrior reputation. Don't forget there's a story of him and his trusted friends facing the "Hallowed" Kingsguard containing some famed Westeros heroes with only him and Howland Reed survived that battle.


Ser Barristan Selmy: He's a famed and celebrated hero of the Kingsguard and a hero-worshipper of Sir Duncan the Tall. But for all his famed prowess we didn't actually see him fight that many battles. The battles he did fight in the service of Deanerys Targeryen were against foes he should normally be defeating, maybe this is because he hasn't enjoyed a lot of Screen/POV time. I'm tempted to include him in the real warrior list though.

Worthy Mentions
Syrio Forrel
Loras Tyrel
Ser Bronn of the Blackwater
Stannis Barratheon
Tormund Giantsbane (?)


There is more and I'll update this post later.

moski5: judging from the excerpts I've read so far
Dorne remains as cautious as ever d sand snakes r just to send correct info n work wit d Religious army if possible

The second sons r in need of Tyrions wits
.
Victarion helped win d Battle The Bold is fighting

My real annoyance with G Martins is his style of writing he doubled back twice just to show us happenings from another point of view utterly unnecessary n thereby prolonging d book n The Character Pate whom he killed in I think a Twow then introduced him as Sam's "colleague
