The cruelty and sadism exhibited by House Bolton is not only reserved for their enemies. The leaders of their troops can be just as harsh to their own subordinates as they are to captured soldiers. Steelshanks Walton, Skinner, and Sour Alyn all have their own special forms of cruelty they inflict on others. Ben Bones, Tybald, and Daemon Dance-for-Me perform their atrocities with sadistic glee. However, even they must be cautious, for if they ever gain the ire of those above them, they would not be safe from having their own brutal technique unleashed upon themselves. Life in House Bolton is always on a knife edge, ofentimes literally so.
