* Tywin Lannister crosses this before we even properly meet him. We hear in the backstory how he order the sacking of King's Landing which killed hundreds, but it gets worse when Tyrion tells the story of [[spoiler:his first wife. He secretly married whom he thought was a crofter's daughter whom he and his brother Jaime had rescued from being raped. When Tywin found out he told his son that she was a whore hired by Jaime to give Tyrion his first lay. To prove it, he had her gang-raped by a barracks full of Lannister guardsmen, even paying her a silver piece for each one, and then forced Tyrion to go last]]. It's made even worse when we later find out [[spoiler: it was a lie. She really was a crofter's daughter who fell in love with Tyrion. When he learned this, Tyrion flew into a murderous rage and killed his father]].

It could also be argued that Joffrey's MEH came much earlier, when his lie caused the deaths of [[spoiler:Sansa's dire wolf Lady and Arya's friend Mycah]].
* Gregor Clegane's MEH came before the start of the series, when he [[spoiler:murdered a baby by dashing its head on a wall, then raped the mother with the boy's brains still on his hands]]. And this is even putting aside the fact that when he was a child, he found his little brother playing with one of his toys... so he ''[[DisproportionateRetribution held his face in a burning brazier until half the flesh melted off]]''.
* One of the most chilling MEH's of the novels comes when we find out what happened to [[PsychopathicManchild Ramsay Bolton]]'s wife: He locked her in a tower with nothing to eat. They found her with no fingers and blood around her mouth.

* Also played with early in ''Game of Thrones'' when Jaime Lannister [[spoiler: pushes the young Brandon Stark out of a window for witnessing him and his twin sister, the queen, having sex]]. This seems at the time to be a definite moral event horizon, but Jaime later becomes a gradually more sympathetic character after he undergoes extreme suffering over the course of the story, which prompts a definite change in his moral character for the better.
