The Hound
Relentless tracking dog
The Hound is a nickname for Sandor Clegane, a character in George R.R.
Martin's *A Song of Ice and Fire* series and its television adaptation *Game of Thrones*.
A fearsome warrior with a burned face, he serves as a bodyguard while nursing bitter contempt for knights and nobility.
The name comes from his family's sigil—three black dogs.
The Hound protected Arya despite claiming to care for nothing.
