"Game of Thrones"
Bloody Biography of Grigor begins in the birthlock of the cligan family castle. The child from the young age was distinguished by a cruel temper. The younger sister of the boy died in mysterious circumstances, and the Castle's servants whispered that the tragedy did not cost without the participation of Grigor. Sandor Kligan suffered from Brutality Brother (later a man will take the name of the dog). The boy took the older brother's toy, for which Grigor dismissed the face of Sandora
As the first descendant of ancient kind, after the mysterious death of the father, the young man received title and castles belonging to the famous surname. At 16, the young man left his relatives and went to the service for Targarien. The mad king found a common tongue with a cruel grig, and soon the culigan produced in the knights.
However, warm relationships with the Lord of seven kingdoms did not prevent a man to participate in the overthrow of Targaryen. Moreover, Grigor personally killed the grandson of the king and increased over the monarch's daughter-in-law.
Like the previous owner, Robert Barateon rated the power and fearless knights. With the new King of the Career of Grigor, whom the mountain nicknamed the mountain, was moving at no less.
In addition to outstanding physical features and unbridled cruelty, Kligan was distinguished by cunning and pragmatic. Pretty soon Mountain realized that Lannisterians possess the actual power, and not sitting on the throne baraton. Proving its own dedication, Grigor becomes the bodyguard Serne.
The next unjustified act of cruelty was marked by the knightly tournament dedicated to Ned Stark - the new King's desk. During the fight, the mountain quickly straightens with a little-known knight, and losing the second battle Loras Tirello with one movement kills his own horse, guilty of losing.
The beginning of hostilities in the territory of seven kingdoms has become the best time for the clip. Lannisters sent a faithful warrior to parse with the rebels, and the mountain did not hold back at the time of stripping. The cruelty of the man came out for the permitted framework, so Ned Stark gave an order to kill the swirl of Grigor. Alas, Drain's death began to do not fulfill orders, and the cruel killer remained at freedom.
Return to the royal harbor has become a fatal solution for the mountain. SERSEY, who trusted the kolyan more than the rest of the knights, sent the mountain to the battle against Obserina Martell, who defended the honor of Tyrion Lannerner.
Confident in our own power, a mountain without fear goes to battle, which will end with the death of a cruel warrior. Grigor Krigan did not take into account that Martell has long been studying poisons. Therefore, even killing the enemy, Mountain is seriously ill, getting an injury to the poisoned spear.
To save the faithful bodyguard, Sressey gives a semi-sick mountain to the former scientist Kwiren. After prolonged manipulations of Necromancer Grigor resurrect. From that moment on, the cruel and bloodthirsty mountain ceases to be a man. Now there is a soulless car next to the Sernea, which sees the purpose of his life in the protection of Mrs..
The mountain that has not yet thought about the consequences is now completely deprived of any moral landmarks. Calmless servant everywhere accompanies the queen, ready to confuse anyone who, at least in the word, offend the Lady.

Otherwise, the actors have similar physical characteristics.
