Berik Dondarion: Description of the character of the series "Game of Thrones"

Lover of knight tournaments and the immortal warrior Berik Dondarion is one of the most interesting minor characters in the series "The Game of Thrones". He appeared in several seasons. The scenes with his participation were remembered by the audience for their colorfulness.

How it all began

The first season fans remember the scene, where Berik Dondarryon fulfills the order of Edard Stark to capture Grigor Cligan. The authors did not show the battle, but rumors began circulating about the house that the hero died at performance, and his people formed a Brotherhood without banners. This was the first death of the character, recorded in the battle of Shutov's ford. His eternal friend the priest Taurus resurrects him, and after that they are not shown for a long time on the screen. The next exit took place in the third season, when Sandor Kligan ("Dog"), along with Arya and Jendry are captured by the fighters of the brotherhood. Here, Berik Dondarion summons his sworn enemy to a duel and receives a fatal wound from him. Again, Toros had to resort to the force of fire, in order to resurrect a friend for the sixth time. Before that he had died four times.

Sixth season

For two seasons did not appear in the center of the plot of the character, but with the coming of the season the Brotherhood without banners again made itself known. One of the members of the Order of Lim attacked defenseless citizens with whom Sandor Kligan lived and worked. The latter tracked them down, but they were already ready to accept their deserved punishment through hanging. In the series "The Game of Thrones," Berik Dondarion passed a verdict on them and allowed him to execute Kligan. After that, Dog decided to share with them their meal, where an interesting conversation started. The immortal knight invites Sandora to join them, because the winter is coming, and with it the battle for the survival of people. Toros convinces him that the revival of the knight is not just given and something really awful is coming. The Brotherhood has to play its part in this, because it was destined by the gods. After that Berik remarks the courage and fighting qualities of Kligan as an excellent fighter. On this offer, Dog did not answer, and the scene was immediately interrupted.

Legendary immortality and further destiny

In the series "The Game of Thrones," the revival of Dondarion has a logical explanation. In this world there is a religion of worship to the Lord of Light. This deity can return a person from another world through his priests. Among them is Toros, who, after the first revival of his comrade, managed to persuade the latter to his religion. After the first death, he was inflicted with lethal wounds four more times before the fight with Kligan. He had time to die of a bow, an ax, a dagger and a hanging in captivity among Lanister soldiers. Every time he was saved by Toros, but the process has its drawbacks. After each revitalization, wounds remain, hence the absence of the eye.

Acts as Berik Dondarryon actor Richard Dormer, starting with the third season. In the first series of the series, the immortal knight appeared in one episode, and then the hero was played by David Michael Scott. In the future, Dormer's appearance can be expected in some episodes, for the Brotherhood without Banners must play its part in the battle by the white walkers and their leader.
