** He does this ''again'' in Episode 4; if the player chooses to swear at Ludd during the meeting at Highpoint, Ludd will get angry at using foul language at his table, while throughout the game, Ludd himself is rather liberal in his use of the "s" and "f" words.

He shows some redeeming qualities in Episode 4, so changing the wording on Hate Sink


* HateSink: So far, we've seen absolutely no redeeming qualities to this guy whatsoever and that's in a game with ''Ramsay Snow.''

* MissingMom: It's heavily implied that his mother died during or immediately following Gryff's birth. This likely helped [[FreudianExcuse form Gryff's surly disposition]], because as Tyrion Lannister found out, death in childbirth is often blamed on the child.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Ludd is a despicable man, but he loves his family. [[spoiler:His claim that he doesn't care if Rodrik hurts Gryff because Gryff is only his fourth born son is a bluff.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Ludd is a strong believer in guest right and dislikes Walder Frey for the Red Wedding, even though the Whitehills have profited from it. [[spoiler:While he does threaten the Forresters during their visit to Highpoint, he only does so after Rodrik threatens Gryff and Whitehill's men will only attack if [[NonstandardGameOver Rodrik orders his allies to kill Ludd.]]]]

!!House Whitehill of Highpoint
House Whitehill is a noble house from the North. According to semi-canon sources they blazon their arms with a white pile inverted on indigo, an arch of 4-pointed stars above. The Whitehills are one of the few northern families to follow the Faith of the Seven instead of the old gods.

The Whitehills have been traditional vassals of House Bolton for centuries.

!!Britt
->'''Played By:''' Alistair James

One of Whitehill's men, he was the leader of the soldiers who killed Gared Tuttle's family.
----

* BlatantLies: When Lord Whitehill brings him to explain the attack, he feigns innocence and claims that Gared attacked them without provocation.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Has a dirty blond bowl cut.
* DirtyCoward: Flees from the sight of his massacre after Gared kills one (or more) of his men.
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Gared can kill him by throwing him off the Wall.]]
* EvilBrit: Played with in regards to the name, but not so much with the accent.
* JustFollowingOrders: Played with. He doesn't even try to defend himself with this excuse and doesn't hide that killing Gared's family brought him sadistic joy. What does piss him off, however, is that following orders [[spoiler: got him sent to the Wall.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Sent to the Wall for his crimes, where he wastes no time and tries to kill Gared [[EpicFail with little success.]]]]
* SmugSnake: Has this attitude about murdering a bunch of defenseless pig-farmers, including an eight-year-old girl. He's significantly less effective against a trained warrior like Gared.
* SociopathicSoldier: He's a sociopath, who gleefully tortures defenseless pig farmers - including a little girl.
* SuicideByCop: [[spoiler: One interpretation of his motives for ambushing Gared at the Wall. Even after Gared hands him his ass on a platter, he refuses to back down, and he makes it clear that he'd rather be anywhere-- even dead-- than serving in the Night's Watch.]]
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Even if it's fairly reasonable of him to assume that he could have taken Gared, he clearly didn't think about the very likely possibility of being caught red handed by the Night's Watch if he did manage to win the fight.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: While an unrepentant asshole with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, the fact that [[spoiler: he was sent to the Wall for carrying out the orders he was given by his Liege Lord means that his open displeasure, while wholly karmic, is also justified. [[JerkAss Attacking Gared on his first day]]... less so.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: ''Sought out'' Gared's sister despite the fact she was a child hiding from them and they'd already stabbed his father.
* WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied: He tells Gared how he made sure his family suffered to provoke the former squire into a fight.

* Hypocrite: During his first visit to House Forrester after the Red Wedding, Ludd Whitehill is rude, abrasive, and constantly taunting and insulting both Ethan and the House in general with the foulest language a man can muster. But if Ethan calls him an "old man" or shows any snark or disrespect whatsoever in return, he seems barely able to restrain himself from flipping his shit, clearly giving the impression that he should be the exception to the rule he's clearly displaying for all to see. Which would make sense if Forrester was a vassal of Whitehill, which, despite the Red Wedding, they very much are not.
