Thoros was born in the Free City of Myr. Being an eighth son, Thoros’ father had no means to support him and gave him up to the local Temple of the Lord of Light. There, he was raised to become a Red Priest, though he grew up a glutton and lustful man, constantly raiding the kitchens and taking girls to his chambers. He was tasked by the High Priest to turn future King Robert Baratheon away from the Seven and convert him to the Lord of Light. He was already present in the Red Keep by the time the bodies of Rhaenys and Aegon Targaryen were presented to Robert. Thoros became part of the court and a drinking and whoring companion of King Robert. He also became famous for using a sword coated with wildfire and set ablaze before combat as a way of intimidating his enemies. He fought for King Robert Baratheon in the Greyjoy Rebellion. He was the first man, followed closely by Ser Jorah Mormont, through the breach during the Siege of Pyke, stabbing and terrifying the ironborn with his flaming sword.

RIP Thoros of Myr 🙁
what is lurking behind that den—a lion ,a wolf hahaha !!!
I will miss this guy. He is one of the scene-stealers of the show.
Thoros is very under portrayed in the series, in books he is a beast who has defeated the Hound three times and numerous others.
My god I was in tears when he goes half the country is starving and look at this one !!!! XD
Does anyone know the name of the archer with the Thoros of Myr? He looked a good character.
You are a dangerous person (you have no idea).
Thoros is Mike Strutter…. wow.. anyone else remembers him?
it was weird that in last episode brotherood witout banners suddenly became evil
Great character introduction! I love the music during that scene. Too bad they never released it.
"We can jump him, tie 'em up, steal his gold and buy some food." – Hot Pie
"Half the country's starving and look at this one".
" Maybe he's the reason half the country's starving ".
LOL i love how hotpie is dragging his sword along.
Better than Robin hood???
That shot at the end is practically impossible to pull off. And that's coming from a keen archer.
gendry is so right lol
was that last line improvised or scripted ?
Thoros (portrayed by actor Paul Kaye) was the first man to enter the Siege of Pyke during the Greyjoy Rebellion with his flaming sword. He also frequently enters tournament melees from what I read. Using wildfire he coats his sword in flames, but he found (with Magic returning) he can do it for real now.
Other than that, he's described as fearless: A brilliant swordsman that actually defeated Sandor Clegane three times in the melees. He later lost to Lord Yohn Royce after his sword's flame gutted out.
Admittedly, the series and the novels show that flaming swords are awesome but impractical: It weakens the steel and ruins the blade.
"You could have picked Joffrey. You could have picked Tywin Lannister."
Both to be dead soon later.
This guy reminds me of Jack Sparrow.
keep singing so WE know where you are.. leave US be..
what friends ?
Can't find the song from this scene……
Cough cough Robin Hood cough cough
