Character from House of the Dragon by George R.R. Martin
The Wolf of the North — Lord of Winterfell, whose march south at the Dance's end delivered a reckoning so severe they called it the Hour of the Wolf.
Cregan Stark speaks little, acts decisively, and holds oaths sacred in a world where everyone else treats them as suggestions. He is the North distilled into a single lord — honorable to a fault, slow to commit but immovable once decided. When Jacaerys flew to Winterfell and swore the Pact of Ice and Fire, Cregan honored it absolutely, because that is what Starks do. His eventual march south comes too late for the battles but perfectly timed for justice, and the Hour of the Wolf reveals a man who sees the law as something that must apply equally to the powerful and the powerless. He does not enjoy politics, does not understand compromise, and does not care if southerners find him rigid. The North remembers, and Cregan Stark is its memory given teeth.
Tall, powerfully built, with the long face and grey eyes of the Starks. Dark brown hair worn long in the Northern fashion. A thick fur cloak over mail and boiled leather, sword at his hip. Stern-featured with a close-trimmed beard, his expression the granite stillness of the North itself.
