Most people have mixed reactions when you mention the name of 'The Hound' from GoT.

Sandor, nicknamed 'The Hound', was the younger brother of Ser Gregor Clegane. He was also the personal bodyguard of Prince Joffrey Baratheon of the house Lannister.

As a child, Sandor received grotesque facial burns when once Gregor shoved his face into a heater. He has returned to execrate fireplace, his brother, and therefore the hypocrisy of nobility generally. The sworn protect of patrician Robert Joffrey Baratheon, Sandor is taken into account one amongst the foremost dangerous fighters in Westeros.

His family history was a bit strange. Sandor's father explained the burns he had by claiming that his bedding caught the hearth, though the square measure still rumors that Gregor was the one concerned. There are rumors of a sister who died young under mysterious circumstances. Their father was killed in an exceedingly alarming accident, which is also a suspicious deed, the family states to Gregor.

When Joffrey ascended the Iron Throne, Sandor was sent into his King's guard (despite not being a knight); however, he deserted his post at the Blackwater Battle.

Once traveling as a fugitive with Arya Stark in the fourth season, Sandor had an in-depth brush with death following a row with Brienne of Tarth and the carnage of a congregation with which he tried to seek out peace. He reluctantly joined the Brotherhood in hopes of getting a higher purpose.

Upon the comeback of the ghastly Whitewalkers and the army of the dead, Sandor fought along with Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen to stop a second Long Night. Following their conclusion, Sandor came to a decimated King's Landing, where he died throwing himself from the Red Keep with Gregor, ending their bitter womb-to-tomb contention and fulfilling his campaign of revenge.
