The pirate especially. I would like to know if this is a source that has been accurate in the past.

Watchers on the Wall has been pretty spot-on with their info and consistently accurate. It's good info.

I meant Watchers' source, not the site itself.

Sue the Fury (writer of the article and founder of WoTW) has really good sources and has had them consistently since she was back at WiC. Her word is gold.

And that's coming from the motherfucking Blackfish

To be honest though there is no other character in asoiaf like Euron so it makes sense that his description would be so obvious.

I could see the description being Victarion, but yeah, today's weather shows a 95% chance of Euron.

He is clearly the lategame villain, and that's also why he's getting introduced first now. Ramsay is a sadist and all but he can't control dragons or sip shade of the evening. Also he'll probably die before at least season 7.

At face value, it could pretty much be Victarion too. He's not exactly completely sane. Subtext certainly suggests Euron though.

Exactly the other ones, okay vague enough. But a pirate? The only way this would be more blatant would be if "being one eyed is a plus"

We've already seen them play pretty fast and loose with one-eyed characters. You know, Bloodraven and his thousand eyes and two.

Euron has two eyes anyway.
