| ~ Rorge's most famous and disturbing quote |
Rorge is a major antagonist of the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire. He is a criminal and a serial rapist, along with his "dog" Biter forcibly recruited into the Night's Watch. He is the main antagonist of Riverlands POV in A Feast for Crows.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He completely drove the orphan child Biter crazy by forcing him to engage in cannibalism and making him his dog.
- Rorge also cut out his tongue when he was a young boy, filed his teeth into points, and forced him to fight against dogs and bears in a pit with only his bare teeth.
- Before Eddard Stark allowed Yoren to enlist him, Biter, and Jaqen H'ghar in the Night's Watch, he raped and killed a severe number of people.
- Being a pedophile, his favorite rape targets were little girls, even being arrested by King's Landing's City Watch for his crimes and rotting in the Red Keep's black cells, the lowest level of the dungeons, along with Biter and Jaqen.
- It's implied that he has been gelded in the black cells for his crimes, and for that reason, he is now using solid objects to rape women and girls, which makes his sexual assaults even more heinous.
- Being a pedophile, his favorite rape targets were little girls, even being arrested by King's Landing's City Watch for his crimes and rotting in the Red Keep's black cells, the lowest level of the dungeons, along with Biter and Jaqen.
- It is theorized that Rorge might be the one who killed Yoren instead of Ser Amory Lorch's men. During the escape from Lorch's raiding party in a deserted town, Arya threw an axe at Rorge's cage so he, Biter, and Jaqen could escape from the fire, with Rorge being the one who took it. When Arya's group of survivors found Yoren's body the next morning, his skull had been split by an axe. However, other Lannister men carried axes during the attack, so Rorge's involvement is unconfirmed.
- Ser Amory Lorch, however, had no interest in sparing anyone, and every Night's Watch's recruit who fought during the Lannister attack and could not escape was killed. For unknown reasons, only Rorge, Biter, and Jaqen were spared. It is possible they were spared due to Rorge personally killing Yoren.
- He joined Ser Amory Lorch's party and, on Tywin Lannister's orders, took part in raids to terrorize, burn, and oppress the Riverlands' population and fight the Brotherhood without Banners.
- While in Harrenhal, he tried to rape Arya, a 9/10 year old little girl, with a broom, even though she had previously saved his life. When Arya points this out, Rorge responds that, as a thank you, he will rape her even harder, also desiring anal sex, insinuating she is no longer a virgin due to being Yoren's lover, believing this was the reason why Yoren wanted to bring her to the Wall in a boy's disguise. The only thing stopping him from raping Arya was her mentioning she was associated with Jaqen, whom Rorge feared.
- Arya found Rorge and his human pet, Biter, so terrifying that she refused to believe they were humans. For a while, she genuinely believed the two were demons taking near-human forms who had been summoned from Hell by Jaqen's sorcery.
- After the departure of Lord Tywin's army of the Westerlands, he betrayed Ser Amory Lorch and his garrison at Harrenhal.
- He reluctantly accepted to aid Jaqen and Arya's plan to release the captive northmen and rivermen. Having Biter join them, he remorselessly and sadistically threw boiling onion soup on four Lannister guards before killing them.
- After releasing Robett Glover and the other captive northmen and rivermen, he fought for House Stark along with the traitor Brave Companions, turning on their own former allies by killing them in their beds or while they were celebrating, and fighting alongside Glover's band of freed captives and Ser Aenys Frey's army.
- Unbeknownst to Arya, Rorge's dialogue and Jaqen's lack of surprise confirmed that both men were made aware of Vargo Hoat's betrayal and secret deal with Roose Bolton and decided to help the North's side of the war. During the fall of Harrenhal, Rorge declared that he, Bite, and Jaqen were Brave Companions from then on. If he were not aware of Vargo Hoat's deal with Roose Bolton, he would have thought the former's band would have fought for the Lannisters during the battle.
- Afterwards, his new side opened Harrenhal's gates to Roose Bolton and the infantry army of the North. Rorge and Biter joined the Brave Companions and King Robb's side. He personally throws his former liege Amory into Harrenhal's bear pit to force him to fight a bear. Along with his new comrades, Rorge enjoyed watching a naked and pleading Amory being slaughtered by Vargo's huge wild black bear.
- After joining the Starks' side and Jaqen's departure from Harrenhal, he began to subtly stalk Arya, who at that point served as Lord Bolton's page, and make her uncomfortable with his perverted stares, and fixing his eyes on her every day. Arya was so terrified of Rorge that she refused to add his name—as well as Biter and Shagwell's—to her night prayer of people she planned to kill.
- After Roose told her that when he would eventually depart from Harrenhal, take Robb's infantry army with him, and leave her behind to serve the Brave Companions, Arya realized nothing would stop Rorge from keeping good of his promise to rape her, as well as his new friends from raping and hurting her, which caused her to flee from Harrenhal with Gendry and Hot Pie.
- Along with his band of mercenaries, he resumed his atrocities in the Riverlands as part of foraging parties, fighting and killing westermen invaders and outlaws of the Brotherhood Without Banners.
- He murdered and raped numerous people, including the Silent Sisters. He also raped a septa and then gave her to his dog, Biter, who also raped her and ate her by chewing her breasts.
- He captured Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth, along with the rest of his mercenary band, and robbed them. He immediately threatened Brienne with rape and taunted her about ripping her nose.
- Jaime and Brienne were captured on the road near the walled town of Maidenpool, which they had previously found raided by outlaws, with half of its buildings burned or plundered and its famous pool filled with corpses.
- Prior to that, Maidenpool had already been raided by House Lannister's westermen for the first time, and by House Stark's northmen for the second, the latter a serious crime, as the town was ruled by their own allies sworn to the Tullys. The third raid on Maidenpool was, however, even more brutal and destructive, and it is implied that it was the Brave Companions' work. Rorge and his comrades were near the town; they raided shortly before Jaime's capture, and they were carrying stolen booty and had a captive septon used for archery practice, despite the fact that Roose Bolton had told them to remain near Harrenhal's lands.
- Jaime and Brienne were captured on the road near the walled town of Maidenpool, which they had previously found raided by outlaws, with half of its buildings burned or plundered and its famous pool filled with corpses.
- He repeatedly beat Jaime and Brienne savagely without mercy, often without any provocation or resistance.
- At one point, he made Jaime unable to walk. He was so cruel and barbaric that Jaime considered him one of the three worst members of the Brave Companions and promised himself to hunt him down and kill him one day.
- After Zollo cut Jaime's hand on Vargo's orders, Rorge enjoyed torturing him psychologically, and when Jaime begged him and other sellswords to give him some water, they gave him a drink.
- As Jaime unknowingly drank it, Rorge told him it was horse's urine, to the hilarity of his band as they watched Jaime puking.
- He tried to rape Brienne, along with Zollo, Shagwell, and Biter, but not before threatening her that he would pull out all her teeth one by one, pop out one of her eyes, and force her to eat it. As the group were about to gang rape Brienne, Vargo had to stop them by telling them she had to be left alone for the ransom with her lord father.
- Immediately after Roose Bolton departs from Harrenhal with Robb Stark's infantry host, Rorge and his fellow Brave Companions enjoy Vargo throwing Brienne in the bear pit, due to Vargo being dissatisfied with Selwyn Tarth's price for her ransom. Rorge and his friends sadistically watched, laughed, and taunted Brienne as she was forced to fight Vargo's huge bear with a tourney sword.
- When Jaime returned to Harrenhal with Steelshanks Walton's party to take Brienne with them, Rorge threatened to kill Jaime, only to be ordered by Vargo to stand down and avoid a fight with the Bolton soldiers.
- After Ser Gregor Clegane and his men captured Harrenhal, Rorge became a common brigand and kept brutalizing the smallfolk. He went to the inn at the crossroads with Biter, Shagwell, Timeon, Pyg, and other former Brave Companions, where they raped all the prostitutes that were working there.
- He killed the innkeeper—nephew of the late Masha Heddle—after questioning him for information.
- He led his band (made of former Brave Companions) to the town of Saltpans, initially to take a ship for Essos in its port, where Vargo's company originated. But after failing to find one (only several days before, Arya took the last boat available for Braavos in that town), Rorge takes his outrage and anger on the town of Saltpans and its residents, going violent against everyone indiscriminately. Afterwards, Rorge was reported by survivors to have laughed loudly about his men's deeds.
- This is widely considered one of the biggest atrocities in the War of the Five Kings, and the news immediately spread everywhere across the realm and to King's Landing, becoming a major source of outrage for the sparrows.
- Surviving men were left with nothing but destroyed homes and family members to bury. Rorge managed to wipe out the entire developing port town of Saltpans, as the traumatized survivors decided not to rebuild and left, leaving the town in ruins outside House Cox's castle.
- Several survivors from Saltpans become refugee sparrows in King's Landing. The raid on Saltpans is the last straw of the Faith's revolution against the nobility.
- Surviving men were left with nothing but destroyed homes and family members to bury. Rorge managed to wipe out the entire developing port town of Saltpans, as the traumatized survivors decided not to rebuild and left, leaving the town in ruins outside House Cox's castle.
- During Rorge's raid, babies and children were slaughtered in the arms of their mothers, young girls and women were raped and mutilated, and most of the population was killed, including an elderly priest, Septon Bennet.
- Always during the massacre, he set Biter on the townsfolk and let him crush them with his weight and cannibalize them with his sharpened teeth, while on top of the victims, tearing their flesh out, among them a woman after she was raped a dozen times who got her breasts ripped apart by Rorge's human pet. She was then left to die a slow death on her own.
- When Arya had previously taken a boat to Braavos from Saltpans, she saw signs of previous raids, as the town had previously been raided by westermen invaders. It is unknown, however, if Rorge had any part in that event, as he previously served in Ser Amory Lorch's foraging party, or if it was the work of another group in Tywin's service.
- This is widely considered one of the biggest atrocities in the War of the Five Kings, and the news immediately spread everywhere across the realm and to King's Landing, becoming a major source of outrage for the sparrows.
- During the raid on Saltpans, Rorge personally killed over 20 people and raped a 12-year-old girl before giving her to his men to be gang-raped and mutilated by having her nipples and nose cut off. She survived, remaining disfigured.
- He and his men tortured Brother Clement, a member of the Quiet Isle's monastic community, just for not talking to them.
- When the monk refused to break his vow of silence, Rorge or one of his men cut off his tongue and left him to die from infection afterwards.
- Because Rorge was wearing Sandor Clegane's abandoned snarling dog helmet during the raid, Sandor ended up being blamed for the attack, and as the news and alerts for the population of the realm spread, the Iron Throne branded Sandor as a traitor and enemy of the Crown to be sentenced to death.
- Rorge kept riding and committing crimes, masquerading as the Hound. Randyll Tarly, temporary ruler of Maidenpool in the Riverlands, rebuilding the repopulated town, deliberately spread a false rumor claiming that the Saltpans marauder are all members or associates of Beric Dondarrion, Lady Stoneheart, and the Brotherhood Without Banners, to put the entire population on King Tommen's side.
- Ser Arwood Frey, who talked with survivor witnesses and saw the aftermath, was extremely disgusted with Rorger's atrocities and felt horrible for the victims.
- Randyll was also disgusted and expressed a wish to personally gut "Sandor" (Rorge). Jaime was shocked that his father and sister's "dog" went rabid, but he also thought the Rorge's actions did not sound like Sandor Clegane's doing, as Jaime never knew him as such a rabid sadist.

- Along with the rest of his gang, he continued to terrorize the citizens of the Riverlands, as he had done multiple times before. He burned houses, smaller towns, and septs, brutally killed and tortured countless people, and raped women and children, and murdered all the babies.
- But at that point, on his own and with leadership, his raids were far more brutal and of a larger scale than the previous atrocities done by other bands of Brave Companions, the westermen, the northmen, and the rivermen.
- Due to Rorge and his band on the run, the nobility and Iron Throne's military parties in the Riverlands and the western Crownlands alerted the whole population, with Randyll Tarly's army, the Freys, and the Lannisters sending riders to all roads and making military outposts everywhere, alerting and escorting travelers.
- Randyll executed many outlaws, and the citizens of Maidenpool became thankful to have him ruling, as the crime in that part of the Riverlands was dropping thanks to Tarly and his army of Reachmen and stormlanders.
- The raid on Saltpans also led to various violent skirmishes between Rorge's band and the Brotherhood Without Banners, the latter believing he was Sandor Clegane and trying to take Arya Stark back from him.

- While running from Lem Lemoncloak's hunting band of the Brotherhood, he returned to the inn at the crossroads, where he attempted to slaughter the entire place full of young orphan children.
- When a 9/10-year-old girl, Willow Heddle (an orphan relative of the innkeeper previously murdered by Rorge), attempted to chase him away with her crossbow, Rorge threatened her that he would break both her arms and then rape her with her own crossbow.
- When Brienne met him again at the inn and tried to chase him away, Rorge tried to kill her and expressed a desire to cut off her legs and force her to stand on her stumps and watch as he was raping the aforementioned 10-year-old Willow with her own crossbow.
- When Brienne decided to kill him to protect the inn's children, Rorge had Biter and all his other fellow marauders stay on their horses, so he could one-versus-one fight Brienne. He brutally fought her, promising to give her to his dog, and due to his strength and size, almost managed to kill her, but was ultimately killed by Brienne, whose half of her face was disfigured by a raging howling Biter, in the attempt to avenge his owner, before the outlaw Ser Gendry killed him as well.
Trivia[]
- While in the novels, Rorge is on the same level of cruelty and evil as Ramsay Bolton, Euron Greyjoy, and Gregor Clegane, and is as huge as Sandor Clegane, in the television series Game of Thrones, Rorge's cruelty, inhumanity, and barbaric and evil traits were severely toned down. He is much weaker and smaller, and is easily killed by Arya Stark. His role is also much smaller, less prominent, and his involvement with Jaime, Brienne, and the Brotherhood, and the mass destruction in the Riverlands done by him and his accomplices have been entirely omitted from the series.
