Ramsay Bolton was the Bastard of the Dreadfort. He was the legitimized bastard son of Lord Roose Bolton, who connived with Tywin Lannister to defeat Robb Stark’s forces by orchestrating “Red Wedding”, killing the top rung of the North. Ramsay Bolton became the Lord of Winterfell, anointed as the new “Warden of the North” under the rule of Boltons.

Since the Game of Thrones TV series began on HBO, for the first two seasons Joffrey Baratheon clearly was the evilest character in the series, but from third season onwards, Ramsay started giving tough competition to Joffrey and even surpassed the evil standards set by him. He is violent, sadistic and totally diabolical in nature. It is amply demonstrated by his fondness for ancient Bolton’s practice of flaying people. He was sent by his father to retake Winterfell from Greyjoys, he set the castle on fire, massacred villages on his way, subjected Theon Greyjoy to psychological and physical torture, turned him into his personal lapdog and named him “Reek”. He then married Sansa Stark to solidify an alliance with Northern Lords, and sexually assaulted her on the wedding night itself. In the last season, he crushed Stannis’s forces trying to invade Winterfell and led Boltons to victory. But in the latest episode, Jon Snow’s forces with the assistance of Wildlings and Knights of the Vale crushed Boltons, while Ramsay was fed to his own hounds who were starving for seven days.
