Game of Thrones Guy

The original picture was posted to Imgur on April 8th, 2015. The first captioned version was posted to Imgur the same day with the text "Is it time for Game of Thrones Yet? I'm so fucking ready." The image without the caption was later posted to Facebook on April 12th, 2015 by Traiz Saenz, who is pictured, in anticipation for the Game of Thrones season 5 premier. Traiz is seen in the picture wearing some of the hand crafted costume that he made for an annual Viking party he attends. The costume was not originally designed to be a Game of Thrones themed costume. But several people thought that was where the inspiration came from so Traiz eventually went with that idea adding a Jon Snow wig to the ensemble. Traiz prides himself in having a pair of drinking horn tankards as well as a genuine Cold Steel Italian Long Sword that he insisted on having for his wedding in July of 2014 to cut the wedding cake. The sword's name is Covenant, because all the best swords have names.

In May/June of 2017 the picture resurfaced amidst the hype of the Game of Thrones season 7 premier that was delayed until July 16, 2017. The captioned version of the image appeared on numerous Facebook pages as well as Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and Reddit.
