* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Rumor is that they still practice DroitDuSeigneur: this even though it is banned. Of course, [[UnreliableNarrator the one claiming this]] is their ArchEnemy [[EvilOverlord Roose Bolton]], so it is disputable. Some like Greatjon are also kind of misogynistic.

* BadassBeard: He has a large shaggy white beard.



* BadassBeard: Well, yes. He's an Umber: shaving isn't big with them.

* AttackAttackAttack: While he is a great warrior, he is not the best strategist, as his first instinct to any problem is to lead an all-out attack. This is why Lord Roose Bolton is given command of the North's infantry instead of the Greatjon. Case in point: after Robb marries Jeyne Westerling and the Freys begin to head back to The Twins due to the broken marriage alliance, the Greatjon encourages Robb to ''attack'' them, which is the worst possible move at the moment, as it would damage the North's moral, lead to more infighting among their forces, and wreck any chance of reconciliation with the Freys.
