\nTurner took to Instagram to show some love to Alfie Allen, who fans of the show know as Theon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands. Allen\u2019s character has had some major development over the course of the sprawling HBO series and echoing a statement made by her character\u2019s brother, Bran Stark, she referred to Allen \u2014 and Greyjoy \u2014 as a \u201cgood man.\u201d
During Sunday\u2019s 82-minute long battle at Winterfell, Theon was tasked with keeping Bran, the three-eyed raven, safe from white walkers and from the Night King who was slowly, and dramatically, making his way to Bran. Before Theon rushed at the Night King to attempt to take him down with his dagger, Bran and Theon shared a quiet moment in which Bran forgave Theon, in his own way, for the things Theon had done to his family.
\u201cTheon, you\u2019re a good man. Thank you,\u201d Bran said.
To Alfie and to Theon\u2026. \u201cYou\u2019re a good man\u201d

Theon\u2019s troubles didn\u2019t end there, however. House Bolton stormed Winterfell and Ramsay Snow captured Theon and kept him under his thumb as a servant who he ultimately tortured to the point of a mental break. Ramsay referred to Theon by the nickname \u201cReek,\u201d and caused Theon permanent physical, emotional, and mental damage.
But Theon had his redemption and saved Ramsay\u2019s tortured wife \u2014 and his old pal, Sansa Stark \u2014 from Ramsay\u2019s grip. He returned to the Iron Islands, and to his sister, Yara, and continued down a road of personal salvation. He re-pledged his allegiance to the Stark\u2019s, promising to fight alongside them for the epic battle against the Night King. And as his character\u2019s story-arc came full circle, he died to save a young man he once claimed to murder.<\/p>\n
