How would Roose Bolton respond to being harassed at work?
ChatGPT said:
Roose Bolton would handle workplace harassment in a cold, calculating, and ruthlessly efficient manner. He wouldn’t get visibly flustered or respond emotionally. Instead, he would assess the situation with quiet detachment and decide on the most effective course of action to neutralize the problem.
Here’s how he might approach it:
-
Subtle Warnings – He’d likely start with an eerie, deadpan remark that makes it clear he’s aware of the harassment and that continuing it would be a grave mistake. Something like, "I find persistence in such matters... unfortunate. It tends to lead to unpleasant consequences."
-
Gathering Information – Roose would methodically observe the perpetrator, gathering dirt or weaknesses that he could use against them later. He’s a man who values leverage.
-
Strategic Retaliation – If the harassment continued, he wouldn’t react impulsively. Instead, he’d undermine the harasser in a way that they might not even realize until it was too late—sabotaging their career, spreading rumors, or ensuring they found themselves on the wrong side of workplace politics.
-
Final Elimination – If the problem persisted and Roose deemed it necessary, the harasser might mysteriously lose their job, have an "accident," or suffer some kind of misfortune that leaves them powerless. In a modern setting, this could be anything from exposing financial misconduct to orchestrating a scandal that ruins their credibility.
Roose Bolton doesn’t lash out; he dismantles people quietly and efficiently. Anyone foolish enough to harass him at work would regret it sooner or later—without ever seeing the blade coming.
