Fan Casting Vargo Hoat in A Song of Ice and Fire

Vargo Hoat is a sellsword from Qohor who leads the Brave Companions mercenary company. Vargo is a tall and gaunt man. He has a two-feet-long ropey black goatee dangling from a pointed chin. A large tongue causes Vargo to lisp and slobber when he speaks. Vargo is more cunning than he seems. He is a sadist who frequently tortures his prisoners by chopping off their hands and feet, earning him an additional nickname, "the Crippler".
