Harren Hoare

Harren Hoare, better known as Harren the Black, is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. He's dead by the time of the series and has only been mentioned in dialogue.

Harren the Black was an ironborn King who ruled over the Iron Islands and the Riverlands from his castle, Harrenhal. Harrenhal was the biggest castle in the entire history of the Seven Kingdoms and was invulnerable to all forms of terrestrial attack.

However, when Aegon Targaryen invaded the Seven Kingdoms, King Harren's vassals from the Riverlands, led by Edmyn Tully, revolted against him, while Aegon the Conqueror unleashed his dragon, Balerion the Black Dread against the massive stronghold. The King of the Iron Isles and the Riverlands and his sons perished as dragonflames consumed Harrenhal, leaving behind blackened and melted ruins.
