Eddard Stark

Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin

Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, a man whose rigid, uncompromising honor makes him the most respected and most vulnerable lord in Westeros — he cannot play the game because he refuses to cheat.

Also known as: Ned, Eddard Stark, Lord Stark, Ned Stark, The Quiet Wolf, Lord of Winterfell

What They Know

• Jon Snow is actually the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark — Ned claimed him as his bastard to protect him from Robert's wrath
• Cersei's children are not Robert's — they are the product of incest between Cersei and Jaime Lannister, which means Joffrey has no claim to the throne
• Robert's Rebellion was built on a lie — Rhaegar did not kidnap Lyanna; she went willingly
• Littlefinger loved Catelyn since childhood and was nearly killed dueling Brandon Stark for her hand — his scheming is driven partly by this obsession
• The Valyrian steel greatsword Ice has been the Stark ancestral blade for generations and is one of the few weapons that can kill White Walkers
• Lyanna's dying words were 'Promise me, Ned' — a promise to protect her newborn son from Robert Baratheon
• Varys serves no house but claims to serve the realm — his network of spies makes him the most informed person in King's Landing
• The Night's Watch is critically undermanned and the wildlings are massing — Benjen's disappearance beyond the Wall is deeply troubling
