Lord Medger Cerwyn
Lord Medger Cerwyn
Head of House Cerwyn and Lord of Castle Cerwyn.
- Bit Character: He appears only a couple of times in a minor role before his death.
- Distressed Dude: After being badly wounded at the Battle of the Green Fork, Medger is taken captive by the Lannister army and held prisoner at Harrenhal.
- Due to the Dead: After he passes, the Lannisters allow his body to be taken by the Silent Sisters and returned to the North.

Jonelle Cerwyn
Lady Jonelle Cerwyn
First child and only daughter of Medger Cerwyn. Becomes the head of House Cerwyn when her father and brother are killed.
- Big Eater: During the feast at Winterfell before the Northern army marched south, Bran Stark notices that she never lifted her eyes from her plate even though she was supposed to be courting Robb.
- Les Collaborateurs: She is one of the supporters of the Bolton regime, although Roose harbors serious doubts about her loyalty, believing she is likely only loyal due to the weakened state of her house and Castle Cerwyn's close proximity to Winterfell. Given that Cerwyn soldiers who survived Ramsey's massacre at Winterfell joined Stannis' army, those doubts are likely to prove correct.
- Old Maid: Unmarried and still a maid despite being thirty years old at the start of the series.
- You Are in Command Now: Lady Cerwyn unexpectedly becomes head of House Cerwyn after her father and younger brother are killed.

- Eye Scream: Gets shot in the eye by an arrow when the Bolton forces turned on the Northerners besieging the Ironmen holding Winterfell.
- Nice Guy: Unlike most other Northern nobles who pity or have disdain for Bran after he became crippled, Cley treats him as he always has.
