Theon recognizes Red Helm to be Reek when he removes his helm, but he is actually Ramsay Snow, the Bastard of Bolton. Theon then allows the Dreadfort men to pass Winterfell's moat and inner gate. Their leader, whom Theon Greyjoy dubs "Red Helm" because of his fine armor, has the bodies of Rodrik Cassel, Cley Cerwyn, and Leobald Tallhart dropped. Ramsay Snow during the Sack of WinterfellĪfter the battle ends, a group of Dreadfort riders approaches Winterfell's main gate. The Boltons lose only twenty or thirty men from their force of near six hundred. They are interrupted by the arrival of House Bolton's garrison from the Dreadfort, however, which betrays Rodrik's army and routs it in the battle at Winterfell's winter town. When the ironborn-held Winterfell is besieged by Rodrik's Stark army of near two thousand, Luwin tries to persuade Theon to surrender and join the Night's Watch. He is left with only seventeen followers, including his squire Wex Pyke, Black Lorren, Red Rolfe, Kromm, Werlag, Tymor and his two brothers, Ulf the Ill, Harrag Sharp, four Harlaws (probably including Dykk and Gevin), two Botleys, and Kenned. Urzen, Stygg, and ten men previously brought by Asha Greyjoy abandon Theon's cause. When Rodrik's scouts approach Winterfell, Maester Luwin warns Theon his ironborn will not hold the castle against an assault. While Rodrik is gathering an army to retake Winterfell, Theon allows a previously-imprisoned House Bolton serving man, " Reek", to leave Winterfell in search of aid when he promises to find a few hundred reinforcements for Theon. Since Rodrik is away, Theon Greyjoy is able to capture lightly-defended Winterfell by stealth. House Greyjoy invades the north during the War of the Five Kings, leading Ser Rodrik Cassel to take Winterfell's garrison to assist in the defense of Torrhen's Square.
