Some people are feared in battles and some people are feared because they have that iron personality. There are only a few people who have been described by GRRM as inspiring fear by their gaze. 3 I remember after reading the books are:
1. Lord Eddard Stark
2. Roose Bolton
3. Lord Tywin Lannister
GRRM has often described how the whispery voice of leach Lord would send a chill down anyone. Similarly, Lord Stark had that personality that evoked respect. Jaime was sitting on Iron Throne after killing the mad king, Lord Stark walked in and saw him sitting on iron Throne. He didn't need to utter a word. His look was enough to make Jaime feel uncomfortable.

Bolton’s silence was a hundred times more threatening than Vargo Hoat’s slobbering
malevolence. Pale as morning mist, his eyes concealed more than they told. Jaime misliked those
eyes. They reminded him of the day at King’s Landing when Ned Stark had found him seated on
the Iron Throne.

Once, a boy called Theon Greyjoy had enjoyed tweaking Bolton as they sat at council with Robb Stark, mocking his soft voice and making japes about leeches. He must have been mad. This is no man to jape with. You had only to look at Bolton to know that he had more cruelty in his pinky toe than all the Freys combined.
