Biography[]
Game of Thrones: Season 2[]
Gelmarr is present when Theon gives a speech encouraging his crew to resist the Northmen led by Ramsay Snow and to die a glorious death.[1]
Game of Thrones: Season 3[]
Balon and Yara Greyjoy learn that the Ironborn captured at Winterfell were all flayed alive on Ramsay's orders, despite being promised mercy if they surrendered.[2]
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Gelmarr's background is the same. He's also known as "Gelmarr the Grim". Gelmarr takes part in the raid of Stony Shore, the capture of Winterfell and the hunt for Bran and Rickon.
Gelmarr, alongside Aggar and Gynir Rednose, takes part, at Theon's orders, in the abduction and killing of the unnamed miller's sons, whose corpses are passed off as Bran's and Rickon's. Gelmarr also kills the kids' mother with one blow of his axe, as she cries to Theon for mercy.
The very night they return from Acorn Water, Gelmarr allegedly tumbles down some steps and breaks his back; Aggar and Gynir are also killed within the next days. Later it is revealed that the three were secretly killed by "Reek" (actually, Ramsay in disguise) at Theon's command, to prevent them from revealing the truth about the slain children; since Theon needs a scapegoat, he falsely accuses Farlen of the killing and executes him.
In A Dance with Dragons, when some men mysteriously die one by one at Winterfell, Theon is reminded of Aggar, Gelmarr, and Gynir.

Notes[]
- ↑ In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 2 in 299 AC.
