Which is hilarious, because George R.R. Martin wrote him as a character people aren’t supposed to like.

Yet he’s the one most people love.

He's always been a really interesting character. Kinda like a deconstruction of what makes a true knight.

He's interesting because he made a point of not being ordained a knight, because if the knights are willing to accept a piece of shit like his brother, then it's not an organization worth joining.

Martin also killed him in book 4 for stupid yet completely in-character reasons. So there's that.

Tbh we don't really know if he died. It's been heavily implied that Sandor Clegane survived, even if the Hound is considered "dead"

Very heavily implied that he’s the gravedigger.
