(Spoilers Main) I hate the theories about Waymar Royce

Just read the prologue of A Game of Thrones again for like the 8th time and man, Waymar Royce, what an absolute beast. Dude 1v1’s an ancient ice demon and HOLDS HIS OWN for a good paragraph of text while Will pisses himself and Gared runs. This character is written so perfectly to subvert the asshole/coward trope and he dies like a fucking badass.

I don’t want him to be a secret Stark. I don’t want him to be anything other than a dick with balls of steel who dies in the first chapter like a legend.
