* CoolOldGuy: The below-mentioned speech to Corlis Penny cements him as one, showing his philosophical, and even [[WarriorPoet poetic]] side, in addition to a healthy dose of pragmatism and common sense, all flavored with good old badassery
-->[M]en are dying. More will die before we see Winterfell. What of it? This is war. Men die in war. That is as it should be. As it has always been. (...) I want to live forever in a land where summer lasts a thousand years. I want a castle in the clouds where I can look down over the world. I want to be six-and-twenty again. When I was six-and-twenty I could fight all day and fuck all night. What men want does not matter. Winter is almost upon us, boy. And winter is death. I would sooner my men die fighting for the Ned's little girl than alone and hungry in the snow, weeping tears that freeze upon their cheeks. No one sings songs of men who die like that. As for me, I am old. This will be my last winter. Let me bathe in Bolton blood before I die. I want to feel it spatter across my face when my axe bites deep into a Bolton skull. I want to lick it off my lips and die with the taste of it on my tongue.

The Northern Mountain clans are, if less sophisticated than the Houses, at least close enough to produce weapons and not depend on raiding all the time; they just live by a different social system and swear fealty to the Starks instead of the Iron Throne.

* SelfServingMemory: When Jon Snow sends letters asking for help to the clans (as 100,000+ Wildlings breaking through would spell death for the Night's Watch and the poorly defended fiefs of the North- including theirs'), they all ignore him, with Stannis and his men answering the call instead. In doing so, Stannis's force saves the Night's Watch and the northernmost settlements. The clans also sit on their hands for ''years'' while the Ironborn occupy settlements on their own borders (e.g. Deepwood Motte, Torrhen's Square) until, again, Stannis comes along and gets them off their hands.

By contrast, none of the mountain clansmen (including him) have fought in a real war, and when the Night's Watch asked for aid, the clans ignored them.
