The Master Torturer is a minor antagonist in the 2011-2019 television series Game of Thrones, an adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels. He was a torturer in service of House Bolton under Ramsay Snow, the bastard son of Lord Roose Bolton and the castellan of the Dreadfort. He is the leader of a group of Bolton men who brutally and psychologically tortured Theon Greyjoy. The Master Torturer is infamous for his cruel and barbaric behavior.
As he is an original character in the show, he never appears in the novels and his original counterpart are the Bastard's Boys, who serve as men-at-arms to the Boltons.
He was portrayed by Michael Shelford.
Biography[]
At the Dreadfort, Theon Greyjoy has been chained up in a dungeon after being betrayed and knocked out by Dagmer prior to the Sack of Winterfell. The Master torturer comes in with his men, with some of them wearing Ironborn clothing, and began interrogating him. When Theon asks what they want, the master torturer simply says "I want to do this" and starts prying his fingernail off with a knife. Later they use a foot press to torture Theon by inflicting him with agonizing pain, in which they slowly turned a screw into his foot, causing it to bleed freely while they repeatedly asked him on why he captured Winterfell, clearly expressing indifference to the answers Theon desperately gives. The latter, for his part, at first tells them the simple truth (that he wanted to take and hold Winterfell while the North was vulnerable just to impress his father), then starts frantically lying (stating his hatred of House Stark for keeping him their "prisoner"), as he was desperate to figure out what his captors want him to tell them. When the Master Torturer and his guards leave, they put a sack over his head. After they left, Ramsay Snow, disguised as a servant boy, comes in and unwinds the foot press, telling Theon that he has been sent by the latter's sister Yara to rescue him, but he must wait until nightfall when everyone in the castle is asleep, so he puts the bag back on and leaves Theon alone as he cries for help.
Ramsay later helps Theon escape and gives him a horse with instructions to ride to the east. Theon thanks him and says he'll make him a lord in the Iron Islands for this, but Ramsay says that they aren't in the Iron Islands now. Theon is later hunted down by the Master Torturer and his men in a prolonged chase on horseback through the woods (presumably the Hornwood forest). During the chase, the captors split into two groups and were able to trap Theon between them, and the latter is knocked off his horse with a flail. Afterwards, Theon's captors pin him to the ground and pull down his pants. In his wrath, the master torturer declares to Theon that he intends to rape him as punishment for attempting to escape. Before he could rape Theon, Ramsay returns and rescues the latter at the last minute by killing all of the captors from afar using his bow. Realizing that he himself was merely used him as a pawn as part of Ramsay's great scheme to deceive Theon, the master torturer curses Ramsay before being shot in the head.
