His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He is the one who acts as an envoy and goes to Riverrun to invite Robb, Catelyn, Edmure and their bannermen to come to the Twins while acting friendly to them, knowingly luring them into a trap.
- He and Roose Bolton plan out all the little details regarding the Red Wedding and how it would proceed down to what songs would be performed and in what order. This makes Lothar one of the main orchestrators of the Red Wedding and gives him a huge part of the responsibility for one of the most horrible massacres and violations of guest rights where around 3500 are killed, including Robb and Catelyn Stark, while they are guests of House Frey.
- He organizes the rest of the Freys and tells each of them what their role would be during the Red Wedding. For example, he gives Merrett Frey the task of getting the strong Jon Umber so drunk that he wouldn't be able to fight back when the Red Wedding starts.
- He makes sure that the tents would collapse when the Red Wedding starts by slicing their ropes and also puts crossbowmen among the musicians in the gallery, so the guests would be caught by surprise when they start shooting at them.
- Unlike his father, Walder Frey, it's unclear if he has any affection for the rest of his family.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He fails the Heinous Standards to his own father, Walder Frey, because the Red Wedding is Walder's idea and Lothar is just organizing the details around it because his father has asked that of him. However, he still stands out from the other Freys because he and Roose Bolton are the people who have planned how everything would proceed down to the smallest details, making him one of the main architects behind it, and he was also the one to personally invite Robb Stark and his bannermen to the Twins, which means he is still heinous enough to be Near Pure Evil.
Trivia[]
- Only his books version counts as Near Pure Evil, as his television version does not even pass the general standards of the show.
