I wish the show had included the bloody mummers. Vargo Hoat was laugh and a half. Without the Mummers there was no chance to explain why "Locke," cut off Jaime's hand and why he was happy to feed Brienne to a Bear. Hoat was not some populist who wanted to see rich people suffer (he wanted to see people of all socio-economic groups suffer). He cut off Jaime's hand because Vargo and his sell sword company had switched sides and joined with Roose Bolton and the Northmen. The Nort hwas lossing the war and Vargo Hoat did not realize, until he had already switched sides, that Tywin Lannister does not forgive turnclocks within his own ranks.
Hoat realized that the North was losing the war and he would never get to posses Harrenhall after the war ended. Instead Hoat wanted to capture Jaime Lannister and give him back to Robb Stark and Rickard Karstark, who had promised the his daughter's had in marriage to which ever man captured the Kingslayer.
Hoat was actually savvy enough to know that Bolton would send Jaime back to Tywin and in exchange buy good will so that if and when the North lost the War, Bolton would get a full pardon from the victorious Tywin Lannister. Hoat cut off Jaime's hand so that Bolton would be afraid to send Jaime back to Tywin crippled and Bolton would be forced to allow hi mand his small band of sell swords return Jaime to lord Rickard. Hoat could marry Alys Kartark and with every son of Karstark dead, Hoat hoped to one day become lord of Karhold which was smaller and poorer than Harrenhall but Hoat would have a lordship and a lordship and castle far from Lord Tywin's wrath.
Before the Red Wedding, in the books, King Robb planned to leave the Riverlands behind and instead of attacking Casterly Rock, he was planning to dislodge the Iron Born from Moat Cailin. No host had every taken Moat Cailin from the South but Robb planned to use guides from his bannerman, Howland Reed, Lord of the Marshlands, to use local guides to move most of his army through the swamps and around Moat Cailin and be positioned to attack it from three different sides. Once the Northmen had taken Moat cailin, they could easily drive the Ironborn from the coastal areas of the North and garrison Moat Cailin and allow the impending Winter to make a Lannister Tyrell invasion of the North all but impossible.
That is why Hoat wanted to travel with Roose Bolton and the rest of the Northmen, in order to put a well garrisoned Moat Cailin and two thousand miles of ocean, swamp and tundra between himself and Lord Tywin's forces. That was al la moor point because Roose Bolton had his sit down with Ser Jaime. Ser Jaime swears to Lord Bolton that he will plan his maiming entirely on Vargo Hoat. Vargo Hoat, even before the Red Wedding happened, had his hopes of salvation dashed. With Lord Bolton and his forces heading up the Twins, Harrenhall is now entirely undermanned by the bloody mummers and awaiting a traitor's fate as the Lannister-Tyrell forces advance up into the undefended RIverlands.
