History Characters / ForumOfThronesRaylansfair

* [[spoiler: InTheBack: He meets his end when he turns his back on Kersea to kill her friend. She then kills him by putting a knife through the back of his neck. Ironically, he preferred this move as well, using it to kill Ser Ilhan long before he himself gets killed in such a way.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be rough and abrasive, occasionally even outright villainous, but as his PetTheDog moments below prove, he does have a heart. He also deeply and genuinely cares for Raylansfair and shows bravery an loyalty.
* [[spoiler: KarmicDeath: He dies due to an example of InTheBack, much like Ilhan, whom he murdered in Chapter 2 of the story. For further karmic justice, he dies at the hands of a girl that repeatedly stated that she has no intention of fighting him, all due to his stubornness of backing down from such a fight.]]

* [[spoiler: MoralEventHorizon: His murder of Ilhan Lagoon is treated as this in-universe, with everyone learning about it outright refusing to forgive him for it. Once it becomes more public, he is instantly removed from his position and locked up.]]

* [[spoiler: ThenLetMeBeEvil: The constant (justified) distrust he receives from the other characters is enough to make him stab Darren in cold blood, to get a chance to become a hero in the eys of the citizens of Raylansfair.]]

* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: He dies to protect Samantha from the Moggy, jumping in the way of a strike even though he knew it would likely kill him.]]

* [[spoiler: InTheBack: This is how Harris initiates the fight against him. He survives the initial wound, but it slows him down enough for Harris to kill him after a long struggle.]]

* [[spoiler:TheHeroDies: Ends up losing and dying in his TrialByCombat against The Tom.]]

* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion: Similarly to Eddard Stark, after being one of the main POV characters of Book 1, he ends up being killed at the end of Book 1.]]

* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Even though he survives, he fully intends to pull one of these when facing the highly superior Samuel Harrington. It is only due to Samuel's status as a NobleDemon that he ended up being spared after his inevitable defeat.]]

* [[spoiler: AlasPoorVillain: Of course, Sherryl is a two-timing schemer, cold-hearted bitch and overall insufferable, but even then, her death can induce pity.

* [[spoiler: DeathByDisfigurement: Shortly before her death, Sherryl is shot in the face by Edonia. It does not kill her, on account of the arrow merely grazing her cheek, but it looks exactly as gruesome as you may think.]]
* [[spoiler: DeathEqualsRedemption: After being abandoned by her lover, Maron Mullendore, disfigured while on a mission for him and realizing that there is no way out for her, Sherryl tries to redeem herself in her final moments, just before comitting suicide, as she reveals her entire knowledge on Mullendore's plans to Arthur Nathamer.]]
* [[spoiler: DespairEventHorizon: She really crosses it big time after realizing how massively she screwed up. Having fallen for Maron Mullendore, she does not take the revelation that he never loved her well, paired with being disfigured and the crushing guilt from the things she did for Mullendore ultimately result in her just breaking down.]]
* [[spoiler: DiedInYourArmsTonight: In Arthur's arms to be precise.]]
* [[spoiler: DrivenToSuicide: Facing the loss of her lover an her beauty drives Sherryl over the edge, to the point where she takes her own life by slashing her forearm and bleeding out.]]

* [[spoiler: MauveShirt: He dies during the raid on Raylansfair, after four chapters of being a background character with a couple of interesting connections to other characters. He is mostly memorable for being treated like a ButtMonkey among the readers for his lack of involvement in the main plot.]]

* [[spoiler:CruelAndUnusualDeath: He gets slowly stabbed to death by Kreep, on Wolfius' orders, though his suffering is cut short when Rosalie tries to escape, forcing Kreep to finish him off via SlashedThroat.]]

* [[spoiler: MauveShirt: He survives a decent amount of chapters, though never really receives much spotlight, just enough to make the readers care for his death during the Ironborn raid.]]

* [[spoiler: BitchInSheepsClothing: Corbin is introduced as a kind-hearted Septon, whom the city is justified with trusting completely. However, he is revealed to be not only an ally of Butterfly and spy in his name, but also heavily implied to be involved in the murders of Lord Raylan and Maester Eaton.]]

* [[spoiler: RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: For all his scheming and backstabbing, Corbin is eventually getting his just desserts, when Clayton and Kersea come to kill him.]]

* [[spoiler: SinisterMinister: Though appearing as a kind and gentle septon, Corbin is the complete opposite.]]

* [[spoiler: YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: After he got caught, Septon Corbin turned from an ally of Butterfly to a liablity. To prevent him from becoming a danger to the secrecy of their mission, Clayton and Kersea were tasked with eliminating him.]]

* [[spoiler: BitchInSheepsClothing: Seemingly nothing more but a lonely, gruff old man with bad social skills, creepy but entirely harmless. The reality is [[SerialKiller quite]] [[WouldHurtAChild different]].]]

* AdultFear: His storyline heavily deals with such themes, when he is faced with potentially losing his daughter, or constantly having to worry if his sons are still alive after marching to war.
