!House Reed
A noble house from the Neck, the narrow peninsula of marshlands that separates the North from the Riverlands, and the southernmost vassals of House Stark. The inhabitants of the Neck are known as Crannogmen, because they live on crannogs (manmade islands) in the swamps.
[[folder:Lord Howland Reed]]
->'''Played By''': N/A
Lord of Greywater Watch, head of House Reed, and ruler of the swamp-dwelling Crannogmen. He is also an old friend of Eddard Stark.
!!Tropes:
* {{Badass}}: Bran mentions that he saved Ned's life during Robert's Rebellion.[[hottip:From the Books...:This occurred during Eddard's mission to rescue his sister from the Tower of Joy, with only Howland and Ned surviving the mission.]]
* TheGhost: In-universe as well as out. [[hottip:From the Books...:House Reed's seat, Greywater Watch, is constantly moving because it is built on a floating island, and has never been found by anyone not led by a Crannogman guide. The Crannogmen, while exceptionally loyal to the Starks, are mercurial and reclusive by nature, and all live on floating islands similar to the one Greywater Watch lies on, making them nearly impossible to find if they don't want to be found. And, because passing between the south and North requires knowledge of the floating islands or the Crannogmen's own secret routes, they have proven extremely difficult to conquer and strategically essential.]]
* ManlyTears: Jojen tells Bran that Howland cried upon learning of Eddard's death from his sons dream.
* OldFriend: Of Ned Stark. Unusually, he is also TheGhost and (in the show) only introduced after Ned's death.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Jojen Reed]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Reed_Jojen_6163.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"[[PsychicDreamsForEveryone [I saw] the only thing that mattered.]] [[TheChosenOne You.]]"'']]
->'''Played By''': Thomas Brodie-Sangster
The son of Howland Reed, Jojen is a greenseer, like Bran.
!!Tropes:
* AffectionateNickname: Little Grandfather, according to EllieKendrick in the "New Characters" video
* AgeLift: A lesser one to keep up with all the rest of the characters.
* CreepyChild: He appears to be this at first. Subverted when it turns out that he's actually a nice kid.
* DawsonCasting: Whereas Jojen is in his early/mid teens, Brodie-Sangster is 21, though he [[OlderThanTheyLook doesn't look like it.]]
* DisabilitySuperpower: Apparently, having repeated visions causes seizures.[[hottip:In the Books...:Jojen does not suffer seizures, but his knowledge of the future has caused him to have a weary, depressive demeanor.]]
* DreamSpying: He saw Ned's execution in a dream.
* FaintingSeer
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Introducing himself into Bran's dream.
* LickedByTheDog: The first sign that he is a good guy is that the very aggressive and protective Summer refuses to attack him.
* MrExposition: He explains Bran's powers in his second scene. After two whole seasons went with little to no explanation.
* MysteriousBacker: To Bran.
* NervesOfSteel: Granted, he knows his sister is close by and has his back, but Jojen never loses his affable tone even when Osha has a spear to his neck - and a full-grown direwolf is baring its teeth at the same time.
* NiceGuy: While at first glance a CreepyChild, Jojen quickly shows himself to be a friendly and down to earth kid, if a bit mysterious thanks to also being a PsychicChildren
* NonActionGuy: He's perfectly comfortable admitting his sister is the better fighter.
* TheOmniscient: As an experienced greenseer, he can see things happening far away, in the future or the distant past, and can sneak into other people's dreams.
* PsychicChildren: Like Bran, he's a greenseer. But not a warg.
** PsychicLink: The first time Bran sees Jojen is in a dream. He later confirms that he introduced himself in the dream on purpose. The way he made Summer trust him and go away might also have been this.
* WaifProphet
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Despite appearing to only be a few years older than Bran, he's the first character to actually have some idea as to what Bran's dreams are.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Some people will always need help. But that doesn't mean they are not worth helping."'']]
->'''Played By''': EllieKendrick
The daughter of Howland Reed. Meera protects her brother as they travel the North.
!!Tropes:
* ActionGirl: She is introduced by getting the drop [[TheWorfEffect on Osha]], which is no easy task. She also seems to be the reason why her brother has been able to survive in the North, which has become a rather dangerous place since the war started.
* AdaptationDyeJob: From the red-brown of the books to Ellie Kendrick's natural black
* AgeLift: A lesser one to keep up with all the rest of the characters.
* TheArcher
* {{Badass}}
* BigSisterInstinct
* CoolBigSister: When Osha asks her if she's ashamed by the fact her brother is a NonActionGuy, she just laughs at the question, stating that there is no shame in wanting to protect someone. Not only that but she obviously adores her little brother. This also crosses with shades of BigSisterInstinct.
* DeadpanSnarker
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Ambushing ''Osha''.
* KnifeNut: Despite being also a...
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]

Another house sworn to the Starks. Their seat is Karhold, close to the east coast of the North.

->'''Played By''': John Stahl
->''"I don't want your grief! I want my vengeance!"''
Lord of Karhold and another powerful bannerman of House Stark.
!!Tropes:
* [[spoiler: AntiVillain: Type II; his villainy is the result of his grief over the deaths of his sons.]]
* [[spoiler: AssholeVictim: Murdering unarmed kids'll do that.]]
* {{Badass}}
** BadassGrandpa
** BadassBeard: He probably has the most epic beard in the series thus far. Looks almost like an old photo of grim and bearded American frontiersmen.
** BadassBoast: By the Old Gods, he's got some awesome ones at that.
-->'''Catelyn''': Wise men do not make demands of kings!
-->'''Lord Rickard''': Fathers who love their sons ''do''. In the mornin', I will have this murderer's head.
** ColonelBadass: Along with Roose Bolton, he's one of Robb's principal subordinates.
* BrutalHonesty: To Robb in "Dark Wings, Dark Words"
-->'''Robb''': If you no longer believe-
-->'''Karstark''': I can believe until it snows in Dorne. It don't change the fact: we've got 'alf the men.
-->'''Robb''': You don't think we can win.
-->'''Karstark''': May I speak my mind, Your Grace?
-->'''Robb''': Have you not been speaking your mind, Lord Karstark?
-->'''Karstark''': I think you lost this war the day you married 'er. ''(Nods at Talisa)''
* CommanderContrarian: To Robb and Catelyn, though his points are usually good.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments:
-->'''Karstark''': We're at war. This march is a distraction.
-->'''Robb''': My grandfather's funeral is ''not'' a distraction.
-->'''Karstark''': We ridin' ta battle at Riverrun?
-->'''Robb''': No.
-->'''Karstark''': Then it's a distraction.
-->'''Robb''': My uncle Edmure has his forces garrisoned there. We need his men.
-->'''Karstark''': Unless 'e's been breedin' 'em, 'e won't 'ave enough ta make a difference.
* [[spoiler:DefiantToTheEnd]]
* DemotedToExtra: In Season 1, although he becomes Robb's most visible bannerman in the second and third seasons.
* DontYouDarePityMe: To Catelyn, after she frees Jaime ''who had just killed Karstark's son''.
* [[spoiler:DyingCurse: He points out that Stark and Karstark are not only descendants of the First Men but also kin, and wants the curse of kinslaying to haunt Robb for the rest of his days.]]
--> '''Karstark:''' [[spoiler:"Kill me and be cursed. You are no king of mine."]]
* {{Jerkass}}
** JerkassHasAPoint: When it comes to military matters, Karstark has the right of it at least as often as Robb.
* GrumpyOldMan: His responses when Robb asks him about possible lodging for Ser Alton show that he is a rather irritable man. Justified, as the North has recently lost Winterfell, which calls into question Robb's worthiness as King in the North.
* [[spoiler:OffWithHisHead: By Robb himself]]
* TheOtherDarrin: Played by Steven Blount in one episode of Season 1.
* OldSoldier: He's a capable general of Robb's. [[hottip:In the books:he also killed Ser Stafford Lannister at the Battle of Oxcross. (the battle in episode 4)]]
* PapaWolf: Comes within ''inches'' of striking Catelyn because she refuses to let him kill Jaime for killing his son, who was guarding the cell Jaime was in.
* RevengeBeforeReason: He wants to execute Jaime even though he's a valuable hostage and he's aware of it.
** [[spoiler:RevengeByProxy: Murders Willem and Martyn Lannister, two unarmed teenage hostages.]]
* [[spoiler:TragicVillain]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: [[spoiler:Has taken over for Roose Bolton as this in Season 3, due to child murder. Roose still trounces him in this department as of "The Rains of Castamere". At least the Karstarks never killed their King.]]

[[folder:Torrhen Karstark]]
[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Torrhen_Karstark_2759.png]]
->'''Played By''': Tyrone [=McElhennon=]
One Rickard Karstark's sons.
!!Tropes:
* AscendedExtra: From throwaway PosthumousCharacter in the books to actually appearing and having lines in one episode.
* CharacterDeath: Killed by Jaime Lannister in his escape attempt.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Instead of as a casualty of battle, TV!Torrhen is assigned to guard Jaime during his captivity and is killed by him during an escape attempt. This makes Karstark's obsession with killing Jaime more understandable than in the books.
* RedShirt
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Only for a while. He survives farther into the storyline than his book counterpart, who dies in the Battle of the Whispering Wood protecting Robb from Jaime.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Harrion Karstark]]
Other of Rickard Karstark's sons.
!!Tropes:
* CompositeCharacter: His death comes from that of his own brother Eddard Karstark, who seems to have been AdaptedOut to prevent confusion with Ned Stark
* DeathByAdaptation: In the books Harrion is captured at the Battle of the Green Fork, imprisoned at Harrenhal and released when Arya and Jaqen H'ghar liberate the northern prisoners and the Brave Companions turn on Amory Lorch and deliver the castle to Lord Bolton.
* PosthumousCharacter: In Season 2 Lord Rickard mentions two of his sons are dead. In Season 3 Robb calls him by name.

[[folder:Lord Jon "The Greatjon" Umber]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Umber_Greatjon_4457.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"There sits the only King I mean to bend my knee to:'' '''The KING IN THE NORTH!'''''"'']]
->'''Played By''': Clive Mantle
->''"For thirty years I've been makin' corpses out of men, boy! I'm the man you want leadin' the vanguard."''
Lord of Last Hearth and a powerful Stark bannerman, and head of House Umber.
!!Tropes:
* {{Badass}}
** BadassBeard
** BadassBoast: Propense to them.
** BadassGrandpa
** ColonelBadass
* TheBigGuy: To Robb's [[TheHero Hero]].
* BoisterousBruiser: Oh yeah.
* CatchPhrase: '''THE KING IN THE NORTH!''', seems to be shaping up to be a battlecry of sorts for him and the Northern army.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: With Robb.
* {{Fingore}}: Grey Wind bit off two of his fingers.
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: On the receiving end of one from Robb when his boisterousness led him to do something he'd regret. It instills quite a bit of respect in him towards Robb for it.
-->'''Robb''': My lord father taught me it was death to bare steel against your liege lord. Doubtless, the Greatjon only meant to cut my meat for me.
-->'''Greatjon''': Your MEAT... is [[LargeHam BLOODY TOUGH]]! (round of laughter from all the lords as he [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction holds his direwolf-chewed hand]])
* GenreSavvy: Despite his propension for LargeHam boistering.
-->'''Greatjon''': Expect nothing of Walder Frey and you'll never be surprised.
** And when Catelyn says that Lord Walder would never harm her:
---> '''Greatjon''': Unless there was a profit in it.
* InSeriesNickname: "The Greatjon." In the books, we learn that his son (also Jon) is called "The Smalljon."
* KneelBeforeFrodo: When he proclaims Robb '''"THE KING IN THE NORTH!"'''
* LargeHam
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He reacts with good cheer after a direwolf eats two of his fingers.
* ModestRoyalty: A nice touch of it in Season 1. After Catelyn Stark reunites with the Northern army and the other nobles are dismissed to give her and Robb a few moments alone, he throws an arm around Ser Rodrik Cassel and leads him away with a "Rodrik, you old dog!", and Rodrik responds in kind. As was said, it's a nice touch to see one of the greatest lords in the North on a first name basis with a lowly knight, making him come across as far less formal and more approachable than, say, Lord Eddard.
* PutOnABus: Doesn't appear in Season 2. He won't appear in Season 3 either.
** Justified via a Season 2 DVD extra: Robb sent him to liberate the Riverlands while he pushed into the Westerlands.
* [[spoiler: SparedByAdaptation: Non-fatal variation. In the books he was at the Red Wedding and is eventually captured by Frey's men and held captive, but in the series, he's ([[PutOnABus presumably]]) still at the Riverlands waging war.]]
* SpitefulSpit: His reaction to the proposals of supporting either Stannis' or Renly's claim to the Iron Throne.

[[quoteright:246:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Galbart_Glover_4082.PNG]]
->'''Played By''': Mark Coney
->''"Renly is not right!"''
Master of Deepwood Motte and head of House Glover.
!!Tropes:
* BadassBeard: He is chosen to command Robb's vanguard over The Greatjon.
* ColonelBadass
* ThrowItIn: The commentary reveals the quote above was an adlib on the actor's part, but was kept in because it was funny.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He hasn't been seen or mentioned since the end of the first season.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Lady Maege Mormont]]
->'''Played By''': N/A
Lady of Bear Island, sister of Jeor Mormont and aunt of Ser Jorah. Portrayed by an unidentified extra so far.
!!Tropes:
* [[AllThereInTheManual All There In The Books]]: Her name.
* BadassGrandma
* DemotedToExtra: And suffering from ChuckCunninghamSyndrome in Season 2.
* TheLadette: Wearing mail and fighting along men and leading men.
* LadyOfWar
* KneelBeforeFrodo
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ser Wendel Manderly]]
->'''Played By''': Oddie Braddell
A son of Lord Wyman Manderly, who accompanies Robb to the war.
!!Tropes:
* DemotedToExtra: He only appears in one episode and has no lines. The only way the audience would know he was an important Northerner without knowing his backstory in the books would be because he's positioned very close to Robb Stark and Roose Bolton during Edmure's wedding, the camera kind of lingers on him whenever he's onscreen and that he's wearing a big House Manderly trident-armed merman sigil brooch.

* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: On the receiving end of one from Robb when his boisterousness led him to do something he'd regret. It instills quite a bit of respect in him towards Robb for it.
-->'''Robb''': My lord father taught me it was death to bare steel against your liege lord. Doubtless, the Greatjon only meant to cut my meat for me.
-->'''Greatjon''': Your MEAT... is [[LargeHam BLOODY TOUGH]]! (round of laughter from all the lords as he [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction holds his direwolf-chewed hand]])
* GenreSavvy: Despite his propension for LargeHam boistering.
-->'''Greatjon''': Expect nothing of Walder Frey and you'll never be surprised.
** And when Catelyn says that Lord Walder would never harm her:
---> '''Greatjon''': Unless there was a profit in it.
* InSeriesNickname: "The Greatjon." In the books, we learn that his son (also Jon) is called "The Smalljon."
* KneelBeforeFrodo: When he proclaims Robb '''"THE KING IN THE NORTH!"'''
* LargeHam
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He reacts with good cheer after a direwolf eats two of his fingers.
* ModestRoyalty: A nice touch of it in Season 1. After Catelyn Stark reunites with the Northern army and the other nobles are dismissed to give her and Robb a few moments alone, he throws an arm around Ser Rodrik Cassel and leads him away with a "Rodrik, you old dog!", and Rodrik responds in kind. As was said, it's a nice touch to see one of the greatest lords in the North on a first name basis with a lowly knight, making him come across as far less formal and more approachable than, say, Lord Eddard.
* PutOnABus: Doesn't appear in Season 2. He won't appear in Season 3 either.
** Justified via a Season 2 DVD extra: Robb sent him to liberate the Riverlands while he pushed into the Westerlands.
* [[spoiler: SparedByAdaptation: Non-fatal variation. In the books he was at the Red Wedding and is eventually captured by Frey's men and held captive, but in the series, he's ([[PutOnABus presumably]]) still at the Riverlands waging war.]]
* SpitefulSpit: His reaction to the proposals of supporting either Stannis' or Renly's claim to the Iron Throne.

[[folder:Ser Wendel Manderly]]
->'''Played By''': Oddie Braddell
A son of Lord Wyman Manderly, who accompanies Robb to the war.
!!Tropes:
* DemotedToExtra: He only appears in one episode and has no lines. The only way the audience would know he was an important Northerner without knowing his backstory in the books would be because he's positioned very close to Robb Stark and Roose Bolton during Edmure's wedding, the camera kind of lingers on him whenever he's onscreen and that he's wearing a big House Manderly trident-armed merman sigil brooch.
* SpearCarrier
* RedShirt
