* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In Season 2 we at least know he's waging war in the Riverlands, but there's been no word on his fate following the Red Wedding. By season 6 it appears he died somehow.

* EnemyMine: Despite his distaste for the Boltons, Smalljon chooses to ally with Ramsay because Jon Snow's decision to let the Wildlings through the Wall and he believes that this will result in them razing the Umber's land.

* GenreSavvy: Smalljon observes oaths and promises are pretty useless when dealing with the Boltons. The only reason they are in power in the first place is due oath-breaking, and he's ''not'' willing to go through that shit again.
* KickTheDog: Killing Shaggy, Rickon's Direwolf.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:He stabs Ser Arthur Dayne just before he delivers the CoupDeGracin the last moment and saves Ned's life]].

* {{BadassOnPaper}}: Bran mentions that he saved Ned's life during Robert's Rebellion. [[labelnote:From the books...]]This occurred during Eddard's mission to rescue his sister from the Tower of Joy, with only Howland and Ned surviving the mission.[[/labelnote]]Bran's flashback shows that it was by stabbing Ned's opponent, the MasterSwordsman Arthur Dayne, in the back of the neck by surprise. His fighting ability are good but nothing to brag home about.
* TheGhost: In-universe as well as out. [[labelnote:From the books...]]House Reed's seat, Greywater Watch, is constantly moving because it is built on a floating island, and has never been found by anyone not led by a Crannogman guide. The Crannogmen, while exceptionally loyal to the Starks, are mercurial and reclusive by nature, and all live on floating islands similar to the one Greywater Watch lies on, making them nearly impossible to find if they don't want to be found. And, because passing between the south and North requires knowledge of the floating islands or the Crannogmen's own secret routes, they have proven extremely difficult to conquer and strategically essential. And of course as he's the only one who witnessed what happened at Tower of Joy (Lyanna Stark's death, Ned's promise to her) and still living, it's obvious that we won't see him at least till the last seasons.[[/labelnote]]

* OldFriend: Of Ned Stark. Unusually, he is also TheGhost and (in the show) only introduced after Ned's death.

* AntagonisticOffspring: His father was a loyal bannerman to House Stark. Smalljon willingly works with the Boltons.

* BrutalHonesty: He inherited his father's mouth for sure. Calls Roose Bolton a cunt, repeatedly, to his ''son's face''.

* {{Badass}}: Bran mentions that he saved Ned's life during Robert's Rebellion. [[labelnote:From the books...]]This occurred during Eddard's mission to rescue his sister from the Tower of Joy, with only Howland and Ned surviving the mission.[[/labelnote]]

* OffScreenDeath: Died off-screen before season 6.

* OffscreenDeath: Died off-screen before season 6.

* GenerationalXerox: Inherits his father's boastful nature, the size, the massive beard, the temper and the brutal honesty. He just seems a tad more villainous.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In Season 2 we at least know he's waging war in the Riverlands, but there's been no word on his fate following the Red Wedding.
