Bastard brother of King Torrhen Stark, and the man who crossed the Trident in the dark on the eve of the Conqueror's invasion of the north. Brandon offered to slay all three Targaryen dragons in their sleep with arrows of weirwood; Torrhen forbade it, choosing the knee over the dice of his half-brother's bow. Brandon kept the secret of the council all his days, and after the bending of the knee returned north with his brother to live out his life as the Bastard of Winterfell.
