| “ | You have one son, don't you, Mormont? I had my 99th. You ever meet a man with 99 sons? And more daughters than I count. | „ |
| ~ Craster to Jeor Mormont regarding how many children each of them have had. |
Craster is a supporting antagonist in the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO's TV series Game of Thrones.
He is a man of the Free Folk and the master of Craster's Keep, located beyond the Wall, and despite his unsavory reputation, he was regarded as an "ally" to the Night's Watch.
He was portrayed by Robert Pugh.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He marries his own daughters when they are still underage and then rapes them so that they can provide him with more children.
- If they are daughters, then he repeats the process with them.
- If they are sons, he sends them out into the forest to "sacrifice" them to The Others so that they don't attack him when they grow up. What happens to his sons after the Others claim them is unknown.
- In the television series, it is shown that his sons were getting turned into White Walkers.
- He probably has over 99 children, most of whom died of the disease, or if they were undesirable, deformed, or non-compliant, he would probably kill them by exposure. Most also died of murder, starvation, abuse, and neglect.
- He has no love for his daughter-wives beyond viewing them as his property and using them as sex slaves whom he can rape, both for kicks and so he can produce more children to ensure his survival.
- He proved this when his daughter Gilly was screaming during birth. He wanted her to be quiet, or he would punch her in the mouth. He also compared her birth to the birth of his pig, who gave birth to eight piglets without wailing.
- He unnecessarily cut out the tongue of an envoy sent by Mance Rayder, just for asking him to join Mance's host along with all the other wildling tribes, and Mance only sent the envoy because he wanted to make sure even Craster and his wives would get south before winter, unaware of Craster's deal with the Others.
- He threatens to kill anyone if they try to make off with one of his daughter-wives, or even just tries to chat with them.
- His alliance with the Night's Watch is only pragmatic, so he can trade with them and they don't raid his home; he hates them otherwise and extorts his food supplies from them, only feeding them enough so they can live to produce more children.
- In the TV series, when he met Jon Snow, Craster was hostile to him and would constantly insult and threaten him.
- At one point, Craster assaulted him when Jon found out that he "sacrificed" one of his sons to the White Walkers. He also expelled all members of the Night's Watch due to John's discovery, only allowing the remnants of the survivors from the First to return later and without Jon with them.
- He mocked Samwell Tarly and suggested his friends cannibalize him since he has a lot of meat.
- He is believed by some black brothers to have starved a ranger of the Night's Watch, Bannen, to death. As Bannen got a foot mangled by a wight and could not do any work, Craster gave him very little food, or none at all. Although the wound is what killed Bannen, some black brothers believe that Craster starving him left him weak and unable to recover.
- Even though Karl Tanner honestly provoked him with insults, he still tried to kill him in a fit of rage. Although Karl also broke the law by killing Craster, to whom he was a guest, it doesn't justify old man's fate.
- While he commits his awful acts so he can survive, this isn't played for sympathy as he has no remorse over it, and he actually takes pride in his hedonistic lifestyle. While Night's Watch officer Thoren Smallwood acknowledges and understands that Craster is a product of his cruel environment, personally viewing him as insane, he still doesn't justify his actions and despises him as a person.
