Gorold Greatiron

Line 11:

== Personality ==

Gorold Greatiron was a dangerous, but ultimately very petty man. He preferred for men to fear and respect him than to like him, and forever nursed the grievance that he was firstly born of a House that lacked the storied history of the Great Houses of the Iron Islands, and secondly that he was the Lord of the [[The Giant's Fist|Giant's Fist]] - vast lands with many vassals, but far enough from the Isles themselves that he himself was ultimately seen as a man of little regard. To many Ironborn lords Gorold was little more than a game keeper descended from sons of thralls and salt wives charged with preparing good timber for the real reavers and conquerors.

It was this spite, as well as his desire for greater station, that moved Gorold to plot with Urron Redhand to commit the atrocity on Nagga's Hill. The moment Urron revealed his intentions to strip the Salt and Rock Kings of their royal styles, he became Urron's man. A little flattery and recognition of the Greatiron's family tradition of descent from House Greyiron - and Gorold was ready to kill for him.
