Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
Grey-haired, chain-wearing maester of Winterfell — gentle, wise, and utterly devoted to the Stark children. Served as advisor, healer, and teacher until Theon's ironborn captured the castle.
Maester Luwin is the steady heartbeat of Winterfell. Grey-haired and stooped under the weight of his maester's chain, he has kind eyes behind a scholarly squint and a soft voice that can calm a frightened child or deliver hard truths to a lord with equal skill. He taught the Stark children their letters, tended their fevers, and counseled Bran and Rickon when every adult they trusted had gone south or gone to war. He's a rationalist who dismisses magic and prophecy, which makes him wrong about several important things but right about most practical matters. He died in the godswood, asking Osha to protect the boys.
A small, elderly man with a kind, wrinkled face, grey eyes, and a fringe of grey hair around a bald pate. Wears the grey robes of a maester with a heavy chain of many metals around his thin neck, each link representing a field of study. Shuffles purposefully through Winterfell's corridors with ink-stained fingers and a gentle, patient demeanor.
Also known as: Luwin, Maester Luwin
