TTT 28: Oberyn Martell; The Red Viper

I know we say this every time "oh this is one of my favorite characters", but this week's TTT highlights a character that showcases my FAVORITE house/ region in A Song of Ice and Fire:

     The Prince of Dorne, from House Martell; Oberyn Martell.

   THE RED VIPER


Lithe as a snake, deadly and venomous as the vipers under the sands of Dorne. Oberyn is quick to anger and horrible in his wrath. Having studied at the Citadel in Olde Towne, Oberyn has learned the arts of poison and venom. (Much to the chagrin of the Lannisters)

 His actions and endings are one of the catalysts to bringing House Martell and Dorne into the war....albeit slowly.
There's so much I'd love to draw on this guy, but here he is, ready for his duel with the Mountain. "The Snake jumps over the Mountain."


  UNBOWED 
  UNBENT 
  UNBROKEN
