Yeah. While Theon gets some sympathy from me for the huge amount of physical and mental torture he's undergone, and while I don't think he enjoys inflicting pain and death for the sake of inflicting them, I'm not sure he's done much "good" as least so far. I think he's primarily been immature and incompetent.

What about Ilyn Payne? Was he just doing his duty to his lords? There is a line in there somewhere that he "lives just for the killing" or something like that.

I'd like to delve into the Freys but I think I'd ramble and go on a bit long about them. The one word that comes to mind about them for me is "petty".

IIyne Payne is more likely to end up on the good list than bad.

He's the perfect tool.

He's loyal, especially after getting his tongue cut out. He doesn't balk or question the people he serves. He has no ulterior motives that we know of.

He just works for the wrong people in most of the story.

He could have just as easily been a good servant of death at Winterfell or the Wall and not caused any problems.

Can't really put him in any list.
