As is the way with various traits from the books that don't quite make it to the TV show, the character of Euron hasn't received an awful lot of screen time since he made his debut last season - which is a damn shame because he's a wonderful villain.
Aside from orchestrating the daring Raid on Lannisport which burned Tywin Lannister's entire fleet, the younger brother of Balon is impulsive, warped, calculated and utterly fearless.
To be honest, any man that's willing to cut out the tongues of his crew just to get silence is pretty badass.
After that epic naval battle in which Theon Greyjoy left his sister stranded at sea, plenty of people have been asking one question. How did Yara - an experienced reaver, warrior and captain of an Iron Fleet - manage to get so badly out maneuvered by her uncle?
Surely she must have seen this coming?
While some people have speculated that Euron learned about his niece's location from a spy in Dany's war council, others believe that he was successful due to one simple fact, he's one of the most experienced and deadly sea raiders in the Seven Kingdoms.
It's also very likely that his Ironborn crew knew members of Yara's and had scouts watching the Dragonstone ports.
In an interview with Variety, Pilou Asbæk offered up his own funny theory abut why Yara didn't spot the approaching enemy.
"Why the f— would you want to be on a cold deck where it’s probably raining, when you can sit with a hot chick below deck and kiss her (Ellaria Sand)? I think it answers itself. I know there’s been a little bit of discussion about if they should have been more aware. But the flaws that we have as human beings are the flaws that make a story interesting. If we were 100% correct, we wouldn’t have movies. People have complained that it’s not realistic. Seriously, guys, we have dragons. But I love the discussions, because they’re among the fans. When people discuss things, it’s because they care."
What is dead may never die.
