Sandor Clegane

Sandor Clegane, colloquially known as the Hound, was the younger brother of Ser Gregor Clegane and the older brother of Jeyne Clegane. He initially served as Prince Joffrey Baratheon's personal bodyguard, and after Joffrey ascended the Iron Throne, he was named to Joffrey's Kingsguard (despite not being knighted himself). Sandor begrudgingly served his new king until the Battle of the Blackwater, when he deserted and travelled north. He was captured by the Brotherhood Without Banners and tried by combat for his numerous crimes against the smallfolk, but was acquitted when he defeated Beric Dondarrion. He later kidnapped Arya Stark and attempted to ransom her to Lysa Arryn, but lost her after an altercation with Brienne of Tarth. He was later taken in by Brother Ray and his congregation as a means to find peace, before they were murdered by rogue members of the Brotherhood Without Banners. After encountering Beric Dondarrion again, he agreed to formerly join the Brotherhood Without Banners and fight against the Army of the Dead. He fought in the White Hunt and the Fall of Winterfell, until he was killed in a fight with his brother and bitter rival, Gregor Clegane, during the Siege of King's Landing.
