Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

Lord Sawane Botley sells him to Theon only if Theon takes Wex Pyke as his squire. He names it Smiler because someone Theon once knew said he smiled at all the wrong things.[1] Theon brings Smiler to Winterfell with him when he captures it.

During the sack of Winterfell, after coming to from having his cheekbone shattered by Ramsay Snow, the last thing Theon sees is Smiler, kicking free of the burning stables with his mane ablaze, screaming and rearing.[3]
