Samwell Tarly

[bunn]

How *does* he stay so fat? I'm pretty sure that if I were on military food for months while undergoing physical training (no matter how bad I was at it), and then had to ride for days on end, and then had to walk all the way back again for several weeks through heavy snow eating only what I could carry, I'd shed more than a few pounds.

I reckon he has a Star Trek food replicator.

1. He isn't human, so doesn't have human metabolism. He is, in fact, a hybrid of an Other and a Dragon - lord and commander of both species. In book seven, the other characters will finally start getting suspicious of his size, and will finally realise this, and will join together to thwart his plans to take over the world.

Or,

2. He is in league with the Others, or any other random assorted enemy. The Night's Watch actually have very good finances and huge food supplies, but he intercepts it and eats most of it, thus ensuring that the Night's Watch stuggle on under-resourced, and eventually fall.

Or,

3. He eats ravens. He is in charge of them, after all. At the start of book one, the Night's Watch had 4082 ravens, but by the end of book six, they will all be gone. Westeros is doomed because too many characters focus on their own greed and self-interest, not the common good. Sam is a living embodiment of this.

Of course, you have to consider the possibility that I sneaked a look at Pellinor's plans for next weekend, and that the Big Bad in our campaign really is Samwell Tarly, lord commander of the Dragons and the Others. Better get out those Valyrian steel blades...
