that would be the undead Gregor Clegane.

The Hound is still alive.


I meant Gregor...what's him name brought him back in the dungeons. How is the Hound alive? Again, I need to re-read because I thought it was clear that he was dead by the river.

He was spotted by Brienne on Quiet Isle working as a grave digger.

quote:

The Elder Brother described Sandor thusly... “ "...this was a bitter tormented soul, a sinner who mocked both gods and men. He served but found no pride in service. He fought but took no joy in victory. He drank, to drown his pain in a sea of wine. He did not love, nor was he loved himself. It was hate that drove him. Though he committed many sins he never sought forgiveness. Where other men dream of love, or wealth or glory, this man Sandor Clegane dreamed of slaying his own brother, a sin so terrible it makes me shudder just to speak of it. Yet it was the bread that nourished him, the fuel that kept his fires burning. Ignoble as it was, the hope of seeing his brother's blood upon his blade was all this sad and angry creature lived for...and even that was taken from him when Prince Oberyn of Dorne stabbed Ser Gregor with a poisoned spear". [15]


The Hound is dead but Sandor Clegane is alive.

I missed it my first time too. Reread the Quiet Isles chapter of AFFC. Brienne notes that the Gravedigger is bigger than her. Then listen to the Septon's words. He words it making certain to note that it's The Hound that dies, not Sandor. Factor in the story he tells about himself where his old self dies, and it makes perfect sense. It is genius writing, really.
