La saga Canción de Hielo y Fuego de George R.R. Martin cuenta con un amplio elenco de personajes. La serie sigue tres tramas entrelazadas: una guerra dinástica por el control de Poniente entre varias familias; la creciente amenaza de los Otros más allá de la frontera norte de Poniente; y la ambición de Daenerys Targaryen , la heredera exiliada de la dinastía gobernante anterior. En el mundo ficticio de Martin, las Grandes Casas de Poniente representan los Siete Reinos que existen en el continente: el Norte, las Islas del Hierro, el Valle de Arryn, las Tierras del Oeste, las Tierras de la Tormenta, el Dominio y Dorne. Un enorme muro de hielo y magia ancestral separa los Siete Reinos de la zona, en gran parte inexplorada, en la parte más septentrional del continente.
Cada capítulo está narrado en tercera persona con punto de vista limitado , desde la perspectiva de un único personaje. Comenzando con nueve personajes con punto de vista propio en Juego de Tronos (1996), un total de treinta y un personajes de este tipo han narrado a lo largo de los primeros cinco volúmenes de la serie.
Casa Stark

La Casa Stark es descrita como una de las Grandes Casas de los Siete Reinos y la principal casa del Norte . Su sede se encuentra en Invernalia , uno de los castillos más antiguos de los Siete Reinos. Su escudo de armas muestra un lobo huargo gris corriendo sobre un campo blanco, y su lema es « Se acerca el invierno ». Los bastardos nacidos en el Norte reciben el apellido «Nieve». La Casa Stark gobernó como reyes del Norte durante miles de años hasta que la Casa Targaryen conquistó Poniente, tras lo cual los Stark fueron conocidos como los Señores de Invernalia y Guardianes del Norte. Por valorar el honor y la devoción al deber, la Casa Stark es la más cercana al heroísmo entre las casas nobles.
Descendientes de Bran el Constructor, el arquitecto del Muro, la Casa Stark es la principal dinastía de los Primeros Hombres en Poniente gracias a su exitosa repelencia a la invasión andala. Se convirtió en la casa gobernante del Norte tras derrotar a los Reyes de las Tumbas y unificar gradualmente el Norte en un solo reino, compitiendo por el dominio con la Casa Bolton de Fuerte Terror, la segunda casa norteña más poderosa, conocida por su siniestra tradición de desollar. Su creciente dominio también repelió las incursiones de piratas y asaltantes, y aseguró el control del Cuello a través de sus vasallos de la Casa Reed. Además, obtuvo un nuevo vasallo del Dominio tras el exilio de la Casa Manderly, otorgándoles Puerto Blanco a cambio de protección contra la piratería.
House Stark would ultimately unite the North and drive the ironborn away, making enemies with House Hoare, and a new vassal in House Mormont of Bear Island, just as the Andals arrived in Westeros and began conquering every kingdom the First Men had built and converting them to the Faith of the Seven. The Starks made peace with the Boltons and finally unified the North and began opposing the Andals as one force instead of individually like the rest of the First Men, sacking Andalos and driving them back from the fortress of Moat Cailin. They would lose their strength at sea after a failed voyage across the Sunset Sea ended in all their ships being torched. House Stark would also aid the Night's Watch several times against wildling raids, defeating many Kings-beyond-the-Wall, and forming a second branch, called House Karstark.
During Aegon's conquest of Westeros, the Starks intended to oppose the Targaryens, unwilling to bow to an outsider, but King Torrhen Stark knelt after hearing of the scorching of Harrenhal and the devastating outcome of the Field of Fire caused by the Targaryen dragons, becoming the first Warden of the North, and had a marriage alliance with House Arryn to keep the realm together.
Over the course of the novels, the Starks are scattered by the War of the Five Kings, and the fate of the House remains uncertain, as most characters believe that all the legitimate Stark sons are dead.

Jon Snow
Jon Snow fue criado como hijo ilegítimo de Ned Stark y es el personaje narrador en 42 capítulos de Juego de Tronos , Choque de Reyes , Tormenta de Espadas y Danza de Dragones . Comparte los valores de honor de la familia Stark e intenta mantenerse moralmente correcto y honesto, incluso cuando se ve obligado a actuar de otra manera. Tiene aproximadamente la misma edad que Robb y era cercano a Robb, Bran y Arya, siendo su vínculo más fuerte con Arya, quien lo consideraba abiertamente su hermano. La identidad de la madre de Jon sigue siendo desconocida, y el misterio sobre quién es su madre ha generado un importante debate y numerosas teorías entre los fans. La teoría predominante es que es hijo de Rhaegar Targaryen y Lyanna Stark, lo que lo convertiría en el verdadero heredero del Trono de Hierro. Esta teoría, si bien se ha confirmado en la serie de televisión, aún no se ha corroborado en las novelas, dejando sin resolver el tema de su madre en la saga literaria. En Danza de Dragones , Jon muere a manos de miembros de la Guardia de la Noche, al igual que su contraparte televisiva. Sin embargo, a diferencia de la serie, el Jon de las novelas permanece muerto y su destino final aún se desconoce.
Benjen Stark
Benjen Stark es el hermano menor de Ned Stark y Primer Explorador de la Guardia de la Noche. Aparece brevemente al comienzo de Juego de Tronos , primero en Invernalia y luego en el Muro, en el Castillo Negro, donde viaja con su sobrino bastardo Jon Snow . Benjen es enviado a una misión a las tierras más allá del Muro para buscar a un grupo de exploradores desaparecido, pero él y sus hombres también desaparecen. Los cuerpos de dos de sus hombres son encontrados más tarde y llevados de vuelta al Castillo Negro; se reaniman como espectros y matan a varios hombres antes de ser destruidos, pero aún no se ha encontrado rastro de Benjen.
Lyanna Stark
Lyanna Stark es la hermana menor y única de Eddard Stark, [ 4 ] y lleva muerta 14 años al comienzo de Juego de Tronos , pero se la menciona en todos los libros publicados de la serie. Murió a los 16 años y todos los que la conocieron la describían como muy hermosa, como "una niña-mujer de belleza incomparable" [ 5 ] y "una belleza salvaje". [ 6 ] También se la recordaba por ser testaruda y "tener un toque de" la legendaria "sangre de lobo" de los Stark, y era una de las mejores jinetes del Norte. Estaba prometida a Robert Baratheon , quien estaba profundamente enamorado de ella, [ 5 ] aunque a ella no le impresionaba la reputación de infidelidad de Robert. Las historias de su vida se narran principalmente a través de las palabras de Eddard Stark y Meera Reed (a través del capítulo desde el punto de vista de Bran Stark ), con algunos comentarios pasajeros de otras personas como Barristan Selmy , Cersei Lannister , Roose Bolton y Kevan Lannister .
Durante el Torneo de Harrenhal, el torneo más importante de la historia de Poniente, Lyanna rescató al vasallo de los Stark, Howland Reed, tras derrotar a tres escuderos matones. Posteriormente , el príncipe heredero Rhaegar Targaryen , que se alzó con el título de campeón del torneo, la eligió como la "Reina del Amor y la Belleza". Dado que Rhaegar ya estaba casado y Lyanna era una doncella prometida a Robert Baratheon, el cortejo de Rhaegar a Lyanna fue considerado un escándalo mayúsculo en aquel entonces. Un año después, se rumoreó que Rhaegar la había secuestrado y violado, lo que desencadenó una guerra civil que culminó con el derrocamiento de la Casa Targaryen . Al final de la guerra, Eddard y seis de sus compañeros se aventuraron a la Torre de la Alegría en Dorne , donde se encontraba Lyanna, custodiada por tres de los caballeros más destacados de la Guardia Real: Ser Arthur Dayne, conocido como la "Espada del Amanecer", Ser Oswell Whent y Ser Gerold Hightower, conocido como el "Toro Blanco" (Lord Comandante de la Guardia Real). Tras una feroz escaramuza en la que murieron todos excepto Eddard y Howland, Eddard entró en la torre y encontró a Lyanna agonizando en un lecho de sangre. Antes de morir, le pidió a su hermano Eddard que le hiciera una promesa, algo que Eddard consideró un precio muy alto que lo atormentó día y noche durante catorce años.
Eddard later takes her body home to be entombed in Winterfell's crypt, and installs a stone statue in her likeness in front of her sarcophagus. When he returns, he also brings back a newborn boy named Jon Snow, whom he claims is his own bastard by a woman named Wylla, who was later implied to be a wet nurse serving House Dayne of Starfall. Although Jon Arryn persuaded Robert to marry Cersei Lannister, Robert greatly mourns Lyanna for over a decade, causing great strain in his marriage with Cersei.
Jeyne Westerling
Jeyne Westerling is the older daughter of Lord Gawen Westerling of the Crag, a Westerlands bannerman of House Lannister. She meets Robb Stark when he is wounded, and falls in love with him during his convalescence. He marries her the next day to preserve her honour, in doing so breaking a marriage contract with House Frey. After Robb's departure for the Twins, Jeyne remains in Riverrun and does not witness the massacre. After the Red Wedding, she is granted a royal pardon. In A Feast for Crows, she is openly mourning and last appears riding to Casterly Rock as a political prisoner.
During the 2014 San Diego Comic Con, George R. R. Martin stated that Jeyne Westerling will appear in the prologue of the sixth book, The Winds of Winter, but did not reveal whether she would be the prologue POV character.
Servants and vassals
Roose Bolton
Lord Roose Bolton is a significant vassal of Lord Eddard Stark. His seat is the Dreadfort and his sigil is a flayed human, a homage to the ancient Bolton tradition of flaying enemies. He is nicknamed "the Leech Lord" for regular leechings meant to improve his health. He initially joins Robb Stark's rebellion but later becomes disillusioned when it becomes clear the Starks are losing. This leads him to contact Tywin Lannister and arrange with Walder Frey to betray Robb. At the Red Wedding, Roose personally kills Robb, and is later named Warden of the North by Tywin.
Ramsay Bolton
Ramsay Snow is the bastard son of Lord Roose Bolton, later legitimized as Ramsay Bolton. He is known as the Bastard of Bolton or the Bastard of the Dreadfort. Ramsay is vicious, ruthless, psychopathic, sadistic, opportunistic, unpredictable, and fearless. He takes great pleasure and pride in torturing others and enthusiastically practices the Bolton custom of flaying their enemies. Roose suspects that Ramsay murdered Roose's legitimate heir and expects that Ramsay will kill all of Roose's future children. He is described as ugly, with blotchy skin and dry, dark hair.
Rickard Karstark

Rickard Karstark es el Señor de Karhold y uno de los principales vasallos de los Stark. Durante la Batalla del Bosque Susurrante, Jaime Lannister mata a dos de sus hijos, que custodiaban a Robb Stark. Cuando Catelyn ayuda a Jaime a escapar para intentar recuperar a sus hijas, Rickard asesina a dos de los primos de Jaime y ordena a su ejército que abandone a Robb para buscar a Jaime en las Tierras de los Ríos, ofreciendo a su hija Alys Karstark a quien le traiga al Matarreyes. Por ello, Robb ejecuta personalmente a Rickard.
Alys Karstark
Alys Karstark es la única hija y la menor de Lord Rickard Karstark. Está prometida a Daryn Hornwood, heredero de los Hornwood, pero Jaime Lannister lo asesina junto con dos de sus hermanos. Su padre la ofrece a quien capture a Jaime Lannister, así que el sádico mercenario Vargo Hoat lo captura con la esperanza de convertirse en Señor de Karhold. Sin embargo, tras la muerte de Rickard, su tío Arnolf Karstark conspira para tomar el control de Karhold. Se declara a favor de Stannis cuando este llega al Norte con la esperanza de que esto signifique que los Lannister ejecuten a su sobrino nieto Harrion Karstark, y así Karhold pase a manos de Alys, a quien Arnolf pretende obligar a casarse con su hijo Cregan Karstark. Arnolf también planea traicionar a Stannis cuando los Bolton ataquen. Sin embargo, Alys (perseguida por Cregan) huye al Muro en busca de la ayuda de Jon Snow y revela los planes de sus tíos. Para protegerla, Jon encarcela a Cregan y organiza el matrimonio de Alys con el líder de los salvajes, Sigorn, Magnar de Thenn, en una ceremonia oficiada por Melisandre, lo que facilitará la integración de los salvajes en el Norte. Si Harrion muere sin descendencia, Karhold pasará a la recién formada Casa Thenn.
Wyman Manderly
Wyman Manderly es el Señor de Puerto Blanco, la única ciudad del Norte, y el más rico de los vasallos Stark. Es un hombre enormemente gordo, con dos hijos, Ser Wylis y Ser Wendel Manderly. Durante la Guerra de los Cinco Reyes, los Manderly y los Bolton inician una guerra privada por las tierras de Hornwood después de que Ramsay secuestra a la viuda Lady Donella Hornwood, prima de Wyman, la obliga a casarse con él y luego la deja morir de hambre. El heredero de Wyman, Wylis, es capturado cuando Roose Bolton, traicioneramente, envía un gran ejército del Norte para que sea aniquilado por Randyll Tarly. El hijo menor de Wyman, Wendel, es asesinado en la Boda Roja por los Frey. Debido a que su heredero está cautivo, Wyman no puede desafiar abiertamente a los Lannister. Tres Frey llegan a su ciudad con los huesos de Wendel y aparentemente se firma la paz, en la que las nietas de Wyman, Wynafryd y Wylla, se casarán con uno de estos Frey, Rhaegar Frey, y otro de los nietos de Walder Frey, el pequeño Walder Frey. Cuando Davos Seaworth llega a Puerto Blanco para negociar con Wyman el apoyo de Stannis, Davos denuncia a los Frey presentes por su traición. Wyman aparentemente lo manda ejecutar, pero en secreto ejecuta a un criminal en su lugar, lo que lleva a Cersei a devolver a su heredero. Wyman le revela a Davos que sabe dónde se esconde Rickon Stark y que apoyará a Stannis si Davos lo devuelve. Se insinúa que Wyman asesinó a los Frey de Puerto Blanco cuando terminó su estancia (manteniendo así su derecho de huésped), y luego los puso en pasteles que sirvió a los Frey y Bolton cuando asistió a la boda de Ramsay, incluso comiendo él mismo un poco. Los Frey sospechan que él asesinó a sus parientes, y cuando Little Walder es asesinado (posiblemente por su primo Big Walder Frey), su tío Hosteen Frey ataca a Wyman y le corta el cuello. No está claro si sobrevive.

Hodor / ˈ h oʊ d ɔː r / es el bisnieto de la Vieja Nan y un mozo de cuadra de inteligencia limitada en Invernalia .

La hermana mayor, Meera, tiene dieciséis años cuando aparece por primera vez en Choque de Reyes . Como es típico de los hombres de los pantanos, Meera es baja, delgada y de pecho plano, con cabello castaño largo y ojos verdes, y se la describe como de carácter alegre. Es intensamente leal y protectora con su "príncipe", así como con su propio hermano, y Bran comenta que el único que la enfada o la molesta es su hermano, Jojen.

Casa Targaryen

En el universo ficticio de Martin, la Casa Targaryen gobernó los Siete Reinos durante casi 300 años. Diecisiete reyes Targaryen presidieron la corte real en Desembarco del Rey . Su escudo de armas muestra un dragón rojo de tres cabezas y dos patas que exhala fuego sobre un campo negro, y su lema es Fuego y Sangre . La dinastía Targaryen terminó con la muerte de Aerys II, conocido como el Rey Loco, durante la Rebelión de Robert, que derrocó a los Targaryen y colocó a la Casa Baratheon en el trono. Los dos hijos supervivientes de Aerys II, Viserys y Daenerys, huyeron al exilio en las Ciudades Libres de Essos.
Los Targaryen procedían originalmente de Valyria , en el continente de Essos , una de las cuarenta familias de Señores Dragón del Feudo Valyrio, aunque no la más poderosa. Antes de la destrucción de Valyria, los Targaryen partieron hacia Rocadragón, el puesto de avanzada más occidental de su imperio, debido a un sueño de una de sus antepasadas, Daenys Targaryen, también conocida como Daenys "La Soñadora". Un siglo después de la "Perdición" Valyria, Aegon I Targaryen fue contactado por una alianza de algunas de las Ciudades Libres contra Volantis, la colonia más antigua de Valyria, que buscaba reconstruir el Feudo bajo su dominio, a lo que Aegon accedió antes de derrotar a Volantis con su dragón, Balerion. Con el Feudo Valyrio destruido, Aegon se dirigió al oeste, hacia Poniente, con la intención de unir los Siete Reinos bajo un solo gobernante, siendo Rocadragón el punto de partida perfecto para su conquista, debido a sus aguas profundas para su flota y su proximidad al continente. Con la ayuda de sus hermanas-esposas, Rhaenys y Visenya, los Targaryen, utilizando a sus tres dragones, conquistaron con éxito seis de los Siete Reinos, destruyendo a las casas rebeldes y sometiendo a las sumisas. El séptimo reino se unió pacíficamente al reino mediante el matrimonio. Aegon construyó el Trono de Hierro con las espadas de sus enemigos y la llama de su dragón, erigiendo la Fortaleza Roja como su sede y Desembarco del Rey como su nueva capital.
Los dragones Targaryen fueron los últimos que se supo que existían y se extinguieron mucho antes de los eventos de Juego de Tronos . Las personas de ascendencia Targaryen, conocidas como "sangre de dragón", suelen tener cabello rubio plateado y ojos color amatista. [ 17 ]
Quince años antes de los acontecimientos de la serie, los Targaryen fueron depuestos en la Rebelión de Robert, y los dos últimos huyeron a Essos .
Family
Aegon V Targaryen
Aegon Targaryen, nicknamed "Egg" in his youth, is one of the two main characters in the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas. He is played by English child actor Dexter Sol Ansell in the 2026 HBO television adaptation A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
When Aegon was a child, his father, Prince Maekar, reluctantly allowed him to serve as squire to the lowborn hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall, hoping that the lessons learned through humble service and hard experience would help him avoid the mistakes of his royal brothers. He was later crowned King Aegon V when a Great Council bypassed the inheritance of his two oldest brothers, and after his third older brother Aemon chose to abdicate by joining the Night's Watch as a maester. He was called "Aegon the Unlikely" because, as the fourth son of a fourth son, he was placed very low in the line of succession and was therefore seen as unlikely to inherit the Iron Throne.
El reinado de Aegon V duró más de 25 años, durante los cuales intentó impulsar políticas más favorables a los intereses del pueblo llano, lo que provocó frecuentes enfrentamientos con los señores nobles. Posteriormente, pereció en la Tragedia de Summerhall, un gran incendio en el palacio de verano Targaryen, junto con su hijo, el príncipe Duncan, y su amigo íntimo, Ser Duncan el Alto. Tras su muerte, su segundo hijo, Jaehaerys, heredó el trono como rey Jaehaerys II. El rey Jaehaerys murió tres años después, y el Trono de Hierro pasó a su hijo Aerys , más tarde conocido como el Rey Loco.
A través de Jaehaerys II y Aerys II, Aegon V es el bisabuelo de Rhaegar , Viserys y Daenerys Targaryen . También es el bisabuelo de Robert , Stannis y Renly Baratheon a través de su hija Rhaelle, quien se casó con un miembro de la Casa Baratheon y dio a luz a Steffon, el padre de los hermanos Baratheon. Esta descendencia por línea materna de Aegon V se convirtió posteriormente en la base de la legitimidad de Robert Baratheon para reclamar el Trono de Hierro tras rebelarse contra Aerys II.
Aerys II Targaryen
Aerys II Targaryen, también conocido como "El Rey Loco", fue el último rey Targaryen en gobernar los Siete Reinos. Si bien su reinado comenzó bien gracias al apoyo de su primo Steffon Baratheon y su amigo de la infancia Tywin Lannister , poco a poco se fue deteriorando hasta la paranoia y la locura tras la muerte accidental de Steffon y la amarga ruptura con Tywin, cuya esposa Joanna fue víctima de acoso lascivo por parte de Aerys. Su hermana y esposa, la reina Rhaella, quien sufrió numerosos abusos, le dio ocho hijos, pero solo tres sobrevivieron hasta la edad adulta: sus hijos Rhaegar y Viserys , y su hija Daenerys , quien aún no había nacido cuando cayó la dinastía Targaryen.
After Rhaegar absconded with Lyanna Stark for reasons unknown, Lyanna's eldest brother Brandon went to King's Landing seeking to confront Rhaegar but was arrested for royal insult. When Lyanna and Brandon's father Lord Rickard Stark was summoned to King's Landing to answer for Brandon's offense, Aerys instead had them and all of their companions summarily executed. When Aerys then ordered the execution of Lyanna's second brother Eddard and her fiancé Robert, both of whom were serving as wards in the Vale under liege lord Jon Arryn, Lord Arryn refused and instead rebelled in alliance to House Baratheon, House Stark and House Tully (whom Brandon was planning to marry into), thus triggering Robert's Rebellion. When the rebels decisively defeated the last of the loyalist main forces at the Battle of the Trident, where the returning Rhaegar was killed by Robert in single combat, Aerys desperately sought help from Tywin, who feigned reinforcement but instead sacked the capital after entering King's Landing. Aerys then ordered his pyromancers to burn down the whole capital with wildfire, intending to make every resident die with him rather than leaving the capital intact for Robert to rule, but he was assassinated by Tywin's son Jaime Lannister, the Kingsguard member who was Aerys' personal bodyguard, earning Jaime the notorious nickname "the Kingslayer".
Rhaegar Targaryen
Rhaegar Targaryen, nicknamed the "Last Dragon", was the eldest son of King Aerys II and the heir apparent to the Iron Throne, and the older brother to Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen. He died 14 years before the events of A Game of Thrones, and his life's tales are mainly narrated through the words of Jaime Lannister, Cersei Lannister, Barristan Selmy and Daenerys (via visions of sorcery), as well as commentaries by Eddard Stark, Aemon Targaryen, Jorah Mormont, Meera Reed and Jon Connington.
Rhaegar married the Dornish princess Elia Martell, and fathered with her a daughter named Rhaenys and a son named Aegon, the latter of whom he believed to be the prophesied "prince that was promised". After winning the Tourney at Harrenhal, the greatest tourney in Westerosi history, he surprised everyone by passing over his wife Elia and crowning the maiden lady Lyanna Stark as the tourney's "Queen of Love and Beauty". One year later, he and Lyanna both disappeared, prompting rumors that he abducted and raped Lyanna. Enraged, Lyanna's oldest brother, Brandon, goes to King's Landing to confront Rhaegar, which results in both him and his father, Lord Rickard, being brutally executed by King Aerys. Lyanna's other older brother Eddard Stark, her betrothedRobert Baratheon, their foster fatherJon Arryn and Brandon's father-in-law-to-be Hoster Tully then started a rebellion against Aerys. After the tide of war started to favor the rebels, Rhaegar reappeared to command the remaining royal army in a massive pitched battle at a ford on the Trident, entrusting the young Jaime Lannister with the safety of the royal family. However, the rebels, being battle-hardened veterans, defeated the loyalists at the Battle of the Trident, with Robert personally killing Rhaegar in single combat. Rhaegar's death effectively spelled the demise of House Targaryen as the ruling dynasty, and King's Landing fell soon afterwards. All the Targaryen royal family, with the exception of Queen Rhaella (who later died of childbirth), Rhaegar's children Prince Aegon and Princess Rhaenys, and Prince Viserys, were killed when the defected House Lannister sacked the capital.
Though Robert continues to vilify Rhaegar's name for years after the rebellion, many others, including Robert's best friend Eddard, still express admiration for him as a noble and honorable prince, despite the unflattering speculations regarding him and Lyanna. Daenerys's stillborn son Rhaego and her dragon Rhaegal are also both named after Rhaegar.[18]
Viserys Targaryen
Viserys Targaryen es el séptimo hijo de Aerys II Targaryen y el segundo varón que sobrevivió a la infancia. [ 1 ] Trece años antes de los eventos de la serie, él y su madre Rhaella Targaryen huyeron de Poniente para escapar de la muerte a manos del rebelde Robert Baratheon . [ 17 ] Viserys es un hombre arrogante, cruel y ambicioso, propenso a violentos cambios de humor. Es ampliamente conocido como el "Rey Mendigo" tanto en Essos como en Poniente. [ 17 ] [ 19 ] Con la esperanza de ganarse el favor de los Dothraki para conquistar Poniente, Viserys arregla que Daenerys se case con Khal Drogo para formar una alianza con ellos.

They also branched into the nearby city of Lannisport and gained the Reynes of Castamere as a vassal after defeating the Hooded King. The Lannisters would become an Andal bloodline, under a First Man name after the Andal invasion, where they made alliances through marriages and wards. Like many Houses, the Lannisters kept a Valyrian steel blade as an ancestral heirloom, naming it Brightroar, which was lost after King Tommen II Lannister left for Valyria with it, and never returned. The Lannisters would stand with House Gardener against House Targaryen's conquest of Westeros, only to subject their combined armies to annihilation in the Field of Fire, after which King Loren Lannister surrendered and the Lannisters became the Wardens of the West.

During his exile, he lived as a pirate and became extremely wealthy and became involved in dark magic, culminating in his gaining ownership of a horn that can control dragons. In A Feast for Crows, Euron's return from exile coincides with Balon's death, encouraging speculation that he played a role in his brother's demise. After becoming King of the Iron Islands at a Kingsmoot by telling the Ironborn he knows where there are dragons and that he intends to conquer Westeros, he begins successful raids along the Reach. He sends his brother Victarion away to court Daenerys Targaryen in his name and bring her and her dragons to Westeros.
Victarion Greyjoy
Victarion Greyjoy is the second youngest of Balon's surviving brothers and is Lord Commander of the Iron Fleet. He first appears in A Clash of Kings and is present as his brother, King Balon Greyjoy, reveals his plans to invade the north; Victarion is given overall command of the invasion. He appears next in A Feast for Crows and serves as the third-person narrator for four chapters throughout A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons. Victarion is a devout follower of the Drowned God. Years before the events of the series, he killed his wife after he learned of her affair with Euron-crows-eye and has not remarried. After failing to become King of the Iron Islands, he is sent away to court Daenerys Targaryen in Euron's name, but he plans to marry her himself to spite Euron for earlier betrayals. After weathering a savage storm, the remains of his fleet reach Meereen. Victarion orders his fleet to assault the forces besieging the city. His fate is to be determined.
Aeron Greyjoy
Aeron Greyjoy is the youngest of Balon's surviving brothers.[58] He is introduced in A Clash of Kings and serves as a third-person narrator for two chapters of A Feast for Crows. In his youth, he was a drunk and was scorned by Balon, thus later known as Aeron Damphair. After nearly drowning, he dedicated himself to the Drowned God, and became a high priest.[59] After Balon's mysterious death, and crowning of his brother Euron, he becomes a bitter opponent of Euron and his schemes, calling a Kingsmoot to make Victarion King instead of Euron. This fails, and Aeron goes into hiding. A preview chapter from The Winds of Winter reveals that Euron had his men capture Aeron, leaving him imprisoned in Euron's ship for several months before being tied to the ship's prow. It is also revealed that Euron had repeatedly molested Aeron in their youth, leading to Aeron's hatred of Euron.
Servants and vassals
Rodrik Harlaw
Rodrik Harlaw is the Lord of Harlaw, the most populated of the Iron Islands. He is the richest man in the Iron Islands and the maternal uncle of Asha Greyjoy, one of his sisters being Balon's wife. Rodrik is known as "The Reader" because of his love of reading. He has so many books that they have filled one of the Towers in his castle of Ten Towers. As both Rodrik's sons died in the First Greyjoy Rebellion, his various relatives are vying to become his heir. Rodrik has nominated his cousin Ser Harras Harlaw as heir to Harlaw. After Balon's death Rodrik agrees to support Asha at the Kingsmoot, but worries she will not get enough support and offers to make her heir to the Ten Towers. After Euron wins the Kingsmoot, Rodrik advises Asha to flee the Iron Islands, fearing Euron will kill her to prevent his rule being challenged. After capturing the Shield Islands, Euron makes Harras Lord of Greyshield to weaken Rodrik's power. Rodrik questions Euron's intent to conquer Westeros and claim to have sailed to Valyria, infuriating Euron.
Dagmer
Dagmer is the Master-at-arms of House Greyjoy and captain of a longship called Foamdrinker. He is called "Cleftjaw" on account of a disfiguring axe-blow to his face. Despite Dagmer being a commoner he is infamous in the North. A descendant of a Greyjoy bastard a few generations back, he one of the few Ironborn to show happiness at Theon's return. Theon in turn has fond memories of him – he notes that Dagmer has smiled at him more often than Balon and Eddard together. Dagmer accompanies Theon and Aeron in leaving the Stony Shore, leading a divergence against the Northern castle Torrhen's Square that allows Theon to capture Winterfell. In A Dance with Dragons it is revealed that he holds Torrhen's Square with his crew.
Wex Pyke
Wex Pyke is the twelve year old bastard nephew of one of Balon's vassals. He is made Theon's squire. Wex is born mute, a fact that belies his cunning. He is among Theon's crew that captures Winterfell and the only one to survive when the castle is sacked by Ramsay. While hiding in the heart tree in the godswood he sees Bran and Rickon flee with Osha and the Reed-children. When Rickon and Osha splits from the rest of the group he follows them, learning that they have traveled to the supposedly savage Northern colonies on the island Skagos. Eventually falling into Manderly control, Wex is able to communicate the location of Rickon as well as that Theon was not responsible for the sack of Winterfell to lords Wyman Manderly and Robett Glover. Glover has started teaching him to read and write in order to find the true culprit.
House Martell

In Martin's fictional world, House Martell is one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms and is the ruling house of the kingdom of Dorne. Its seat is the castle of Sunspear. Its coat of arms displays a gold spear piercing a red sun on an orange field, and its words are Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken. Bastards born in Dorne are generally given the surname "Sand". Dorne, along with House Martell, is culturally, ethnically, and politically distinct from the rest of the kingdoms. The rulers of Dorne are styled Prince or Princess because Dorne resisted direct conquest and joined the rest of the Seven Kingdoms through marriage.
House Martell was an Andal house established in Dorne during the Andal invasion, when they defeated the ruling First Men houses such as the Wades and the Shells. Nevertheless, they remained vassals to other monarchs, including those of Houses Jordayne, Allyrion, and Yronwood, while maintaining their own territorial holdings. The prominence of House Martell increased with the arrival of the Rhoynish warrior-queen Nymeria in Dorne, accompanied by the remnants of the Rhoynish people fleeing the destruction caused by the Valyrian Freehold during the Rhoynish Wars. Lord Mors Martell wed Nymeria and used their combined strength to subdue all his rivals and unify Dorne into one principality. Their marriage would also see the Martells adopt Rhoynish customs in place of Andal ones, with much of their civilization, such as the Spear Tower and the Tower of the Sun, built in Rhoynish fashion.
The Martells of Sunspear, along with Dorne, stood out in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros as the only realm to resist Aegon Targaryen's conquest. The Dornish used guerrilla warfare instead of fielding large armies—partly to avoid another Field of Fire—and hid in strong palaces to evade the Burning of Harrenhal. They attacked the Targaryen armies when the dragons were not in the sky and escaped whenever the dragons took flight. House Martell achieved a significant Dornish victory against the Targaryens by killing Meraxes and Queen Rhaenys with a scorpion.

Ellaria Sand
Ellaria Sand is the paramour of Prince Oberyn Martell and the mother of the four youngest "Sand Snakes". She accompanies Oberyn to King's Landing when Oberyn takes the seat on the Small Council. After returning to Dorne, she is distraught when she hears Obara's statement on how the Mountain's death "is a start," as she sees the futility of it and worries about her own daughters' safety.
The Sand Snakes
The name "Sand Snakes" refers to Prince Oberyn Martell's eight illegitimate daughters: Obara, Nymeria, Tyene, Sarella, Elia, Obella, Dorea, and Loreza. The latter four were born to Oberyn's paramour, Ellaria Sand. The older four, however, were born to different women: Obara to an Oldtown prostitute; Nymeria (also known as Lady Nym) to a noblewoman in Volantis; Tyene to a septa serving the Faith of the Seven; and Sarella to the (female) captain of the Summer Isles trading ship Feathered Kiss. They are collectively called "Sand Snakes" in reference to their father's nickname, "Red Viper," and the regional custom of giving Dornish highborn illegitimate children the bastard surname "Sand".
In A Feast for Crows, Obara, Nymeria, and Tyene Sand wish revenge for their father's death and pressure their paternal uncle, Prince Doran Martell, to declare war. When they are implicated in various plots to agitate the Dornish populace, Prince Doran catches wind of their plans and orders Areo Hotah to arrest the three Sand Snakes to prevent them from leading Dorne into war.
In A Dance with Dragons, Doran releases the three imprisoned Sand Snakes and sends them on individual missions in his covert plot to bring down House Lannister in revenge for the murder of Elia Martell and her children during the Sack of King's Landing. Obara is sent to accompany the visiting Kingsguard knight Ser Balon Swann to High Hermitage so he can hunt down and kill the rogue knight Gerold Dayne for the mutilating attack on Princess Myrcella Baratheon. Nymeria is sent to King's Landing to take the vacant Dornish seat on the Small Council in her late father's place (and serve as an agent from the inside). Tyene is sent to accompany her half-sister Nymeria to King's Landing disguised as a septa and gain the confidence of the High Sparrow.
The status of the fourth Sand Snake, Sarella Sand, is unknown, though according to Prince Doran she is said to be playing some sort of "game" in Oldtown. Sarella is famous for her insatiable academic curiosities, and there are fan speculations that she is actually disguised as a male Citadel acolyte named Alleras ("Sarella" spelt backwards) with the nickname "the Sphinx", who debuts in the prologue of A Feast for Crows and helps Samwell Tarly when he arrives at the Citadel. In the ending chapter of A Feast for Crows, Alleras is tasked by the departing Archmaester Marwyn to take good care of Samwell as the latter starts his maester training.
In two of pre-released chapters from the yet-unfinished The Winds of Winter, the fifth Sand Snake, Elia Sand, nicknamed "Lady Lance" due to her tomboyish love of jousting, accompanies her cousin, Princess Arianne Martell, on the diplomatic journey to meet with Jon Connington and the allegedly-surviving Aegon Targaryen.

House Tully

House Tully is one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms in the fictional book series written by George R. R. Martin and is the principal house in the Riverlands. Its seat is at Riverrun. Its coat of arms displays a leaping silver trout on a field of rippling blue and red stripes, and its words are Family, Duty, Honor. Bastards born in the Riverlands are generally given the surname "Rivers". When House Targaryen invaded Westeros, Lord Tully was among the first to welcome the invaders. In return, the Targaryens made House Tully the principal House of the Riverlands.
Family
Hoster Tully
Hoster Tully is the Lord of Riverrun and Lord Paramount of the Trident. He is the father of Catelyn Stark, Lysa Arryn, and Edmure Tully. He often quarrels with his brother Brynden because Brynden refuses to be married. Years before the events of the series, he agreed to foster Petyr Baelish at Riverrun as a ward. When he discovered that Lysa was pregnant with Petyr's child, he sent Petyr away and tricked Lysa into drinking an abortifacient potion. Hoster supported Robert Baratheon, House Stark, and House Arryn in rebellion against House Targaryen on the condition that Catelyn and Lysa be wed into the Stark and Arryn families, respectively. His health deteriorates rapidly over the novels; he eventually dies and is laid to rest in the river following the Tully tradition.
Minisa Whent
Minisa Tully was the Lady of Riverrun. She is the mother of Catelyn Stark, a major POV character in the first three novels. Minisa is also the mother of Catelyn's two elder brothers who died in infancy, and later Lysa Arryn two years after Catelyn.
Many years later, she finally gave birth to a son and male heir: Edmure Tully, her fifth born child and the first son to survive infancy. This meant that Catelyn was relinquished of being Hoster's heir. She died from childbirth complications with her sixth child, Edmure's younger brother, over a decade prior to the beginning of the novels.
Edmure Tully
Edmure Tully is the fifth child, only living son, and heir of Lord Hoster Tully at the beginning of A Game of Thrones (1996). He is dutiful and wishes to earn his father's respect and protect the common people of the Riverlands. However, he is also said to have a large heart and his decisions are often rash and emotional. He takes command of the Riverlands in A Game of Thrones because of his father's illness and is taken captive by Jaime Lannister. He is rescued by his nephew Robb Stark, and upon hearing of Eddard Stark's death he leads the Riverland lords in proclaiming Robb the King in the North. He defeats Tywin Lannister's right hand, Gregor Clegane (The Mountain), in battle and unwittingly ruins Robb's plan to destroy Tywin's army. As amends for thwarting Robb's plan, he agrees to marry Roslin Frey and repair the alliance with House Frey. The wedding is a trap and the Stark–Tully army is massacred, breaching ancient guest rights. Edmure is taken to Casterly Rock, where he and the remaining members of House Tully are to spend the rest of their lives as prisoners to House Lannister. Roslin is to remain at the Twins, and the pair is promised to be reunited after the birth of their child.
Brynden Tully

Ser Brynden Tully, called the Blackfish, is the younger brother of Hoster Tully and the uncle of Catelyn Stark, Lysa Arryn, and Edmure Tully. He constantly quarreled with his brother, usually over Brynden's refusal to marry. During one encounter Hoster called him the black goat of House Tully. Brynden mused that since their sigil was fish, he was the "Blackfish" of the family. He accompanied Lysa to the Vale. In A Game of Thrones, he is upset over the Vale's neutrality in the ongoing war. He resigns from his position and joins Robb Stark and his bannermen. He is appointed head of Robb's outriders and is a crucial member of the war council. His efforts win Robb several battles throughout A Clash of Kings. He is named Warden of the Southern Marches in A Storm of Swords and remains at Riverrun while Robb goes to the Twins to attend Edmure's wedding. After Robb's death, Brynden holds Riverrun in Robb's name but he is besieged by House Lannister and House Frey. In A Feast for Crows, Brynden surrenders the Tully seat of Riverrun to spare further bloodshed, but he himself escapes capture. His whereabouts are unknown.
Vassals
Vassals under House Tully include House Blackwood of Raventree Hall, House Bracken of Stone Hedge, House Darry of Castle Darry, House Mallister of Seagard, House Piper of Pinkmaiden, House Ryger of Willow Wood, House Frey of the Crossing, and House Mooten of Maidenpool. The Lords of Harrenhal are also historically vassals to the Lords Tully.
Walder Frey

Walder Frey is Lord of the Twins, and a vassal to House Tully. He is called the Lord of the Crossing as the placement of his castle allows him to control who crosses the river, giving Walder Frey considerable strategic importance. He is known for having over a hundred descendants from his eight wives. He emphasizes family loyalty and believes in taking care of relations, including those who disappoint him. Although he is a bannerman of House Tully, he did not arrive at the Battle of the Trident during Robert's Rebellion until it was almost over (leading to him being referred to derogatorily as the "Late Walder Frey"). He also does not immediately go to Riverrun when Edmure Tully summons his vassals to support Robb Stark in A Game of Thrones.
Since crossing the Twins is a necessity for Robb, Walder is able to negotiate marriage contracts between his house and House Stark. When Robb marries Jeyne Westerling in A Clash of Kings, Frey is outraged and withdraws his support from Robb to conspire with Tywin Lannister and Roose Bolton to exact revenge. In A Storm of Swords, Walder pretends to make amends with Robb and agrees to marry his daughter Roslin to Edmure. The wedding is a trap, with Robb, his key supporters and most of his army massacred during the feast, a direct violation of ancient guest right customs, in what becomes known as the Red Wedding. He then swears loyalty to House Lannister and his second son Emmon Frey receives Riverrun, the seat of House Tully, as a reward, with advantageous marriages for other descendants. The people of the Riverlands refuse to support his rule and a shadowy guerrilla war erupts that Walder Frey struggles to control, with numerous Freys and allies being hanged by the Brotherhood without Banners, or killed by those who want vengeance. House Frey is so large and factional that many of the Freys hate each other, aspiring to become Lord of the Crossing.
House Tyrell

House Tyrell is described as one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms and is the principal noble house in the Reach. Its seat is at Highgarden where they reside as the Wardens of the South. Its coat of arms displays a golden rose on a green field, and its words are Growing Strong. Bastards born in the Reach are generally given the surname "Flowers". When the former rulers of the Reach, House Gardener, were killed in battle against House Targaryen, the Targaryens raised the Tyrells from stewards of Highgarden to Lords of Highgarden. Because House Florent had a better claim to Highgarden, the Tyrells are often seen as "upjumped stewards" by the lords of the Reach and other Great Houses; however, the women of the Tyrell household are noted for being shrewd and clever leaders.

In A Clash of Kings, he supports the marriage between Margaery and Renly Baratheon, who plans to usurp the throne of the Seven Kingdoms. When Renly dies, Mace accepts an offer to marry Margaery to Joffrey Baratheon, the current king. After his and Tywin's armies defeat Stannis Baratheon, Mace is given a seat on the King's council.

The North
Night's Watch

The Night's Watch is a sworn brotherhood of men who patrol the Wall. The individual "Brothers of the Watch" (called "Crows" by the Wildlings)[S 2][S 3] reject land and titles, practice celibacy, cut ties to their families, assume neutrality in politics, and never desert their assignments,[64][65] on pain of death.[66] Joining the Watch is still considered an honor because any man can rise through the ranks regardless of illegitimacy or criminal past, but in the first book,[67][68] the Watch is severely undermanned.[69] The Watch is based at Castle Black, where the Lord Commander of the Watch resides and new recruits are trained.[70]

When Stannis attacks the Wildlings army, Melisandre uses her magic to burn Varamyr's eagle, causing him to lose control of his remaining animals.

While Thistle treats his wound, knowing that he is dying, he attempts to take over her body.

Direwolves are thought extinct south of the Wall.

[ 112 ] Después de comportarse agresivamente con varios hombres de la Guardia de la Noche, incluyendo a Bowen Marsh y a un cambiaformas salvaje, Jon hace que Fantasma sea encerrado en sus aposentos. Sin embargo, los instintos de Fantasma resultan ser correctos, ya que Marsh lidera un motín contra Jon. [ 113 ]
- Lady es la loba huargo de Sansa Stark , llamada así por ser la más pequeña y bonita de las crías. [ 114 ] Tras un incidente en el Camino Real , cuando Nymeria muerde a Joffrey, Cersei exige que maten a Lady en su lugar al no encontrar a su hermana. A pesar de sus objeciones, Ned Stark obedece la orden del rey, pero mata a Lady personalmente. En lugar de entregarle su piel a Cersei, envía hombres a buscar su cuerpo al norte. [ 114 ]
- Nymeria es la loba huargo de Arya Stark , nombrada en honor a una legendaria reina guerrera Rhoynish a quien admira. [ 11 ] Después de que ataca a Joffrey durante una pelea, Arya se ve obligada a ahuyentarla para evitar la ira de Cersei. [ 115 ] Refugiándose en las Tierras de los Ríos , Nymeria reúne una gran manada de lobos, atacando tanto a humanos como a ganado. [ 116 ] Arya frecuentemente se introduce en el cuerpo de Nymeria mientras duerme, incluso durante su entrenamiento en Braavos . [ 109 ] [ 117 ] Sus "sueños de lobo" son fundamentales en la resurrección de su madre Catelyn como Lady Stoneheart después de la Boda Roja, y esenciales para que no pierda la identidad Stark mientras se entrena para ser una asesina de los Hombres Sin Rostro.
- Summer es el lobo huargo macho de Bran Stark . Tras la caída de su dueño desde la Vieja Fortaleza, Summer permanece fuera de su ventana aullando y, durante un intento de asesinato, mata al atacante enviado.

- Shaggydog is Rickon Stark's male direwolf, and is the only black one and the most temperamental of all the direwolf pups. Jojen Reed describes him as "full of fear and rage".[121] Shaggydog follows Rickon and Osha to the island of Skagos, which is infamously rumored to be inhabited by cannibals.[3] When Jon Snow wargs into his direwolf Ghost during sleep, he once sees Shaggydog fighting and killing a goat with one long horn.[112]
Dragons
- Drogon, a black dragon, is visibly the largest and Daenerys's favourite dragon. Drogon is named after Khal Drogo, her late husband. After Drogon and Dany escaped from Meereen, they lived in a cave in an isolated hill in the Dothraki Sea; she named it Dragonstone, after the Dragonstone in Westeros.
