Martin is very good at depicting the dark side of human nature, and Rams Burton is the ultimate embodiment of this. It should be said that in the entire "A Song of Ice and Fire", the character of "Little Peel" is the most distorted and morbid existence, unparalleled, and even "Crow's Eye" Yu Lun is a small witch compared to him (the series takes into account the acceptance of most of the audience, and many of the actions of The original Lirams Bolton have been deleted to a certain extent).

Rams Bolton was the illegitimate son of Luce Bolton, lord of Fort Horror, so he was initially surnamed Snow. Luce once confessed to Rams that he was the product of his own rape of a miller's wife.
In the early years, Luce Bolton fell in love with the bride of a miller when he went out hunting, and he considered himself to have the right to the first night of the lords of the territory, even though this bad habit had been abolished hundreds of years earlier.
Originally, Luce Bolton had his own legitimate heir, and his original wife, Mrs. Bessanne, had given birth to a fairly good son, Domeric Bolton. However, shortly before the Outbreak of the Five Kings, Domiglik returned to the North from the Valley Knights he served, and he "inadvertently" heard that he had a younger brother who had left him, so he found Rams and met him against his father's wishes. Shortly after this meeting, Domiglik contracted an internal illness and died. Luce Bolton was no fool, and he quickly guessed that it was Rams who had poisoned his half-brother, but even if he knew what he could do, only luce Bolton, the heir, had no better choice, or took Rams to Fort Terror and temporarily became the heir of the Bolton family.
“...... If the killer is going to be punished by heaven, and one of the father's sons kills another, what should he do? ”

At an early age, Rams showed a disobedient trait, for which his mother once asked Luce Burton for help, and Luce simply sent her a servant. This servant was called a "stinky guy" because he had a strange skin disease that caused him to stink.
When Luce Bolton followed Robb Stark into the army, Rams was left at Fort Terror (in effect hoarding strength according to Luce Bolton's wishes). When Earl Harris of the North Horwood family and his only son were killed in battle between the rivers, Rams, who heard the news, invaded the Horwood family fiefdom with his troops, not only capturing the castle and forcing the widow Countess Horwood to marry him, but also locking her in a tower and starving her to death (Luce Bolton of course denied that he knew of Rams's crimes).
When Robb sent the Earl of Mandalay back to fight, Rams and the Stinky Guy were raping and killing a peasant girl. Seeing the pursuing soldiers coming, Rams put his clothes on the stinky guy and let him escape first, only to be shot by the mandalay soldiers, but Rams saved his life and was escorted back to Winterfell as a prisoner.
After Theon Greyjoy captured Winterfell, Rams swore allegiance to the Iron People in order to regain his freedom, but did not reveal his identity as the illegitimate son of Fort Terror. After the two Stark children were rescued and escaped, it was Rams who suggested to Theon that the bodies of the two miller children be used to cover up his defeat. The two boys were skinned by Rams after their deaths and drizzled with tar to prevent the bodies from being recognized. This move not only won Theon's trust, but also provoked the anger of the entire North against the Iron People.
At that time, many northern families sent their remaining men to attack Winterfell under the leadership of Sir Roderick, and Theon, who was not willing to lose, listened to Rams and let him return to Fort Terror to gather reinforcements. Unexpectedly, Rams did bring the Boltons' army, he first pretended to join Sir Roderick, and quickly defeated the siege of Winterfell by sneak attack; then used Sir Rodrick's body to trick Theon into opening the city gate, after which Rams revealed his true face, not only annihilated all the Iron People, but also allowed his men to plunder the city, and Theon Greyjoy was also captured alive.
After the "Blood Wedding", Luce Bolton was rewarded by the royal family for his "outstanding contribution" and was named the Guardian of the North, and Rams's status naturally rose, and he got rid of the original illegitimate son's surname, changed his surname to Bolton, and officially became the heir of the family. However, instead of relenting, Rams, who succeeded in ascending to the throne, intensified, and in his eyes, everyone was the object of his abuse and amusement.
Originally, Luce Bolton hoped to use the Theon Greyjoy in his hand as a hostage to bargain with the Iron People to take advantage, but Rams did not listen to his father's advice, and forced Theon to play his former servant, smearing the latter with excrement, completely destroying the other party's psychological defenses with torture and some favors, making Theon willing to become a "stinky guy", and Rams is said to have cut off the "favorite part" of Theon.
The original book does not directly point out that Theon's genitals were cut, but there are many details that hint at this result, and the TV series episode was written by Martin himself, so there should be no mistake.

Another of Rams's torture targets is his wife, Jenny Poole (this part of Jenny's episode is paraphrased on Sansa Stark), but it's even more outrageous that he uses the tactics.
Originally the daughter of winterfell governor, Jenny followed her father south to King's Landing with Ned Stark, where she was taken in by Littlefinger after Ned was executed for treason and has been "working" in his brothel ever since.
After Robb's death, the remaining children of the Stark family are currently missing. So at the behest of Empress Cersei, Rams found someone to temporarily disguise arya Stark and marry her, hoping to suppress the nobles in the north. And the girl who pretended to be Arya was Jenny Poole.
One day after Jenny and Rams were married, Theon tried to help her escape, but Jenny thought it was a ruse that Rams had arranged. So she begged Theon, "You tell him I'll do whatever it takes, whether it's with him... Or his dog..."
It can be seen that Rams not only committed violence himself, but also indulged his hounds to go up with him and take pleasure in it. But digging deeper into some of the details reveals even more frightening facts, and Rams is likely to be a wolf spirit as well.
When the maid bathed Jenny, she found many tooth marks on her back, not only of people (Rams would often bite the women he abused), but also of dogs. This is actually a hint that those hounds still retain Rams's habits during the mating process, in other words, Rams uses the ability of the wolf spirit to possess the bodies of those hounds, and then controls them to mate with people, which is really pathological.
In this way, Rams's former servant "Stinky Guy" was also a tool he used to practice wolf spirit abilities, which is why Rams was willing to spend all day with the stinky baker; it can also explain why the "Stinky Guy" willingly put on Rams's clothes and fled. It is further speculated that Rams constantly tortured Theon and polished him into another "stinky guy" in order to create a "tool" for himself to possess, but before he could finish it, he escaped (some wolf spirits believed that they could live in other people's bodies by possessing themselves and achieve eternal life).
The Savage Wolf Spirit Master Hagen once said that every wolf spirit (also known as the Shapefinder) should observe three untouchable taboos: one is not to eat human flesh, the other is not to mate with animals in animals, and the third is not to control other humans, because all three will make a wolf spirit gradually lose itself and begin to become indistinguishable from animals.
We don't know exactly when Rams began to realize that he possessed the power of a wolf spirit, and maybe it slowly showed up at an age like Bran. However, Rams lacked the right guidance since childhood, and gradually touched all the taboos when exploring the wolf's spiritual ability, and then lost himself to become a devil who could not distinguish between the instinct of the beast and the human intellect, and he was now so cruel that it may not be unrelated to this ability.
