Varamyr Sixskins is a minor antagonist in the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series and a protagonist in the prologue of A Dance With Dragons. He is a member of the Free Folk and a skinchanger who served under Mance Rayder. He was also a warlord who had control over a dozen villages and used his position to kill, rape, steal and feast on human flesh to his heart's content.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- While he has a backstory of being born a sickly child, his parents greatly preferring his younger brother and being given the name "Lump", he has gone past his excuse as in the present; he doesn't seem to be traumatized by it and the people he harms have nothing to do with his backstory for the most part.
- He killed his own baby brother when he himself was only 6 years old by warging into one of the family dogs and mauling him to death just because his brother received more attention from his parents.
- Although his moral agency is highly debatable at such a young age, he shows no remorse for this as an adult.
- While his warg mentor was dying, Varamyr betrayed him. He prevented him from warging into his wolf by claiming it for himself, thus, ensuring his mentor would die. He then feasts on his corpse while possessing the wolf.
- He establishes himself as a brutal warlord and forces a dozen villages to pay him homage and bring him girfts.
- He is a serial rapist who regularly forces women from the villages under his control to have sex with him. After the act, he takes a strain of hair from each.
- If someone tries to avenge to women he has raped, Varamyr would kill them for defying him.
- He regularly wargs into his wolves just to use them to kill people because of how much he loves to taste human flesh through them.
- He regularly wargs inside his wolves while they are mating which is considered an "abomination" by the standards of other skinchangers.
- He joins Mance Rider's army in their march against the Wall and kills even more people in battle.
- He has absolutely no loyalty to Mance Rayder or any of the free-folk, abandoning them when the tides turned against him
- After he is severely injured and he starts succumbing to his wounds, a kind spearwoman named Thistle looks after him and doesn't abandon him. He decides to repay her kindness by attempting to warg inside her body to save himself which would erase her personality. His attempt to warg inside her causes her to claw out her own eyes and bite off her tongue which forces Varamyr out of her body.
- Him wondering if the free folk prior abandoned him is psychological projection, as he himself would have done the same.
- Despite the heinousness standards of the novels, Varamyr is a normal man with the ability to skin change, and he does the worst that he possibly could; fratricide, murdering his mentor, engaging in cannibalism, serial rape, and bestiality.
- The latter being a unique crime in ASOIAF so far, with the exception of Ramsay Bolton forcing Jeyne Poole into acts of bestiality with his dogs.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He suffers from off-stage villainy as the vast majority of his crimes are not shown or explored in depth but are narrated by him in his own thoughts, with no on-screen effects in the present.
Trivia[]
- Varamyr is the only ASOIAF Near Pure Evil to have his own POV chapter, which arguably makes him the evilest POV character in terms of moral scaling.
