I never finished the second book, so I still don't know who Mance's ginger-bearded friend was.
And was it supposed to look like Davos lost the ends of his fingers on one hand?
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Amy, he did. Stannis Baratheon was of the opinion that the good he had done (smuggling food to the city under siege) did not wipe out the smuggling he had done his whole life, so he cut off the ends of his fingers. But he also knighted him, as the bad doesn't wipe the good out, either.

Ginger friend's name is Tormund Giantsbane.
Davos smuggled food into Dragonstone for Stannis during a siege. As punishment for the smuggling, Stannis cut off the top joints of Davos' fingers on one hand, and as reward for keeping his men alive, he made him a knight. Davos carries the bones from his finger joints around in a pouch around his neck (hence Salador Saan's crack about delivering Davos' bones to his wife so she can wear them around her neck) because he thinks Stannis is Just That Awesome.

because he thinks Stannis is Just That Awesome.
And for luck. In the book, at least, he refers to them as his Luck.

Xpost, of course.
A Wiki of Ice And Fire is pretty good for character backstories without spoilers, as long as you don't scroll past the Clash of Kings section on any given page - [link]

Oh god, that's right! The fingers were already gone! I completely forgot.
I knew I should have brushed up before the season started.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm in the middle of this week's House Of Lies, and my sister sent me a picture of Magic Johnson's gay son, and there was one queer black son that came first to mind: [link]

MJ's son look is complete with the fur boa.
