| “ | In Dagon's day a weak king sat the Iron Throne, his rheumy eyes fixed across the narrow sea where bastards and exiles plotted rebellion. So forth from Pyke Lord Dagon sailed, to make the Sunset Sea his own. He bearded the lion in his den and tied the direwolf's tail in knots, but even Dagon could not defeat the dragons. | „ |
| ~ Thoughts of Victarion Greyjoy |
Lord Dagon Greyjoy, also known as the Last Reaver, is a minor character in the A Song of Ice and Fire franchise and a minor antagonist of Tales of Dunk and Egg. He was Lord of the Iron Islands and Lord Reaper of Pyke during the reign of King Aerys I Targaryen. Victarion Greyjoy, his great-grandson, claims that Dagon sat on the Seastone Chair "almost a hundred years" before the events of the main series, suggesting he lived for a long time.
Biography[]
By 211 AC, Dagon and his ironborn were raiding along the Sunset Sea and the western coast of Westeros in an attempt to revive the Old Way. They burned the village of Little Dosk, carried off the wealth of Fair Isle and a hundred women. They also raided in the Reach as far south of the Arbor. As the ironborn also attacked the North, Lord Beron Stark was forced to gather men in an attempt to drive them off. As Lord Dagon and his men would retreat to the sea and to Pyke whenever their adversaries would retaliate on land, Lord Tybolt Lannister began building ships to attack the Iron Islands.
Reaver Lord Erik Ironmaker of House Ironmaker is known to have sailed with Dagon. Though the latter managed to frustrate House Stark and House Lannister for some time, Dagon eventually met his defeat at the hands of House Targaryen.
Legacy[]
Two longships of the Iron Fleet, Lord Dagon and Dagon's Feast are named after the Last Reaver.
Recent History[]
A Feast for Crows[]
| “ | The ironmen have not dared raid the Reach since Dagon Greyjoy sat the Seastone Chair. Why would they do so now? What has emboldened them? | „ |

For the first time in generations since Dagon Greyjoy's era, King Euron III Greyjoy leads the ironborn to invade the Reach.
A Dance with Dragons[]
Asha Greyjoy thinks to herself that on Fair Isle, old women still continue to use tales/stories of Lord Gargon Greyjoy to frighten their grandchildren. She also thinks how her 88-year-old new husband, Erik Ironmaker, was had been a great man and a fearless reaver in his prime and glory days, who boasts the fact he sailed with Dagon Greyjoy, Asha's great-great-grandfather, and terrorized the green lands with him.
Asha's cousin, Dagon "the Drunkard" Greyjoy, was named after the Last Reaver. After being defeated by Stannis Baratheon, Dagon the Drunkard is either killed, wounded, ransomed, or left behind at Deepwood Motte to recover.
Later, while sailing to Meereen, Victarion Greyjoy, the Lord Captain of the Iron Fleet, thinks to himself that in the days of his great-grandfather, Aerys I Targaryen (whom he referred to as a "weak king") sat the Iron Throne. Dagon looked out to the Narrow Sea, where "exiles and bastards" had plotted their constant rebellions (referring to the Blackfyre rebellions). And so, the Last Reaver sailed with his ironborn to conquer the Sunset Sea (as what the late Lord Dalton Greyjoy did during the Dance of the Dragons). Though Victarion claimed that Dagon "bearded" "the lion" in his "den and "tied" the "direwolf"'s tail in "knots", he could not defeat the "dragons."
