Ramsay Bolton, formerly known as Ramsay Snow, is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.
Introduced in 1998's A Clash of Kings, Ramsay is the eldest son of Roose Bolton, the lord of the Dreadfort, an ancient fortress in the North of the fictional kingdom of Westeros. He is subsequently mentioned in A Storm of Swords (2000) and A Feast for Crows (2005). He later appears in Martin's A Dance with Dragons (2011).
Ramsay is portrayed by Welsh actor Iwan Rheon in the HBO television adaptation.
Ramsay Snow is the bastard son of Lord Roose Bolton. He is known as the Bastard of Bolton or the Bastard of the Dreadfort. He takes great pleasure in torturing others and enthusiastically practices the Bolton custom of flaying their enemies. Roose suspects that Ramsay murdered Roose's legitimate heir and expects that Ramsay will kill all of Roose's future children. He is described as ugly, with blotchy skin and dry, dark hair.
Ramsay Bolton is not a point of view character in the novels, so his actions are witnessed and interpreted through the eyes of other people, such as Theon Greyjoy/Reek. Ramsay is mostly a background character in the novels.
Ramsay was portrayed in the HBO TV series by Welsh actor Iwan Rheon, who received positive reviews for his performance. Rheon had previously auditioned for the role of Jon Snow, which he lost to Kit Harington.
