Sandor Clegane

Sandor Clegane (also known as The Hound) is a major character and anti-hero in the book series, A Song of Ice and Fire and its TV adaptation Game of Thrones. A dishevelled and barbaric warrior, Clegane has a deep disillusionment to the world and the idea of honour and knighthood, thus he has seemingly abandoned a moral compass. However, his care for the Stark girls, Sansa and Arya as well as joining the Brotherhood Without Banners shows he is willing to redeem himself.

His fate is unknown in the books after Arya left him to die but his appearance in Season 6 and 7 hints at what to come. In the TV adaptation, he is portrayed by Rory McCann.
