History Characters / ASongOfIceAndFireDrownedMen

* HeelFaithTurn: He abandons his vices after surviving a ship wreck, [[SubvertedTrope becoming a fanatical religious leader]] who supports [[RapePillageAndBurn the Old Way]].

* AllNaturalFireExtinguisher: During his days of being a party animal, Aeron once won a bet that he could quench a fire with nothing but his piss. In honor of his "achievement", he named his new longship ''Golden Storm'' and hung a penis-shaped battering ram on the prow — or would have, if his brother Balon hadn't threatened to hang him from the mast if he did.

* {{Foil}}: Theon Greyjoy. They are the youngest sons of their respective Greyjoy lord fathers. And, after suffering deeply traumatic events during war, they each become completely different from the men they were before the war started. Specifically, Aeron was a fun-loving, hard-drinking rake who became a humorless, grumpy and devout priest after he was revived from drowning in a sea battle, and Theon [[spoiler: went from a cocky young warrior and JerkJock to a crippled, ugly, half-mad shell of his former self after he is captured and relentlessly tortured by the enemy.]]

!!! Historical Drowned Men

[[folder: Galon Whitestaff]]

* {{Foil}} : A TurbulentPriest who went FromNobodyToNightmare, challenged and utterly subverted the unpopular reigning monarch and the nobility by rousing the smallfolk, bringing TheFundamentalist variety of their faith back to the fore. He's practically the Drowned Men equivalent to the High Sparrow. That said, while both are TheFundamentalist, the High Sparrow is a brutal WellIntentionedExtremist trying to protect the smallfolk by reining in the corrupt nobility; the Shrike successfully prevented the [[WellIntentionedExtremist brutal but well intentioned]] InternalReformist from stopping the Ironborn's more abhorrent practices, maintaining the Ironborn RapePillageAndBurn ethos.

--> '''Moqorro''': Your Drowned God is a demon. He is no more than a thrall of the Other, the dark god whose name must not be spoken.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: His fundamentalism and fanatical belief in the Drowned God and the Old Way strongly taint his views and appreciation of other people, and makes him blind to Balon and Victarion's flaws and shortcomings. He sincerely believes that Balon was a great king who gave back their freedom and pride to the Ironborn, and that Victarion would be the best choice of a king after Balon's death. On the other hand, [[spoiler: having been a victim of Euron's abuse]] he is absolutely right to hate and oppose Euron, and to not want him as king of the Iron Islands.

* HumansAreBastards: [[spoiler:Comes to this conclusion after the Ironborn voted for the kingsmoot, telling himself that he can't trust anyone but the Drowned God, a faith that Euron tries to steal from him]].

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: As Aeron puts it, the Drowned God only aids bold men. Euron Greyjoy is considerably more mocking.

* CoolUncle: Theon seems to have viewed him as this, when he was a jovial man loving parties, drinking and women. Completely averted following Aeron's religious transformation and Theon's return, as Aeron shares Balon's views on Theon, believing him to be a fool and to have become soft and "wolfish", and doesn't bother to hide his disdain for Theon while in return, Theon now sees him as creepy, humorless and mad.
