Ned then accepted his climbing, but told him to try to not let his lady mother see him. When Bran, wracked with guilt, confessed this to Eddard, he ordered his son to the Winterfell godswood to cleanse himself, where Bran was eventually found asleep in the tallest sentinel tree. Once, she pleaded for him to stop, and extracted a promise for him to do so, which he kept for barely a fortnight. Since he was a babe, Bran often climbed the walls of Winterfell, scaring Catelyn to death.

īran enjoys exploring the castle, as he believes it allows him to know its secrets. Although Robb and Theon became close after Greyjoy's Rebellion, Bran never warmed to his father's ward. A year before Bran's birth, in 289 AC, Eddard brought to Winterfell a hostage, Theon Greyjoy, the last surviving son of Balon Greyjoy, Lord of the Iron Islands.

As a child, Bran was educated by Maester Luwin and trained with weapons by the master-at-arms, Ser Rodrik Cassel. He also has a bastard half-brother, Jon Snow. īran has three older siblings ( Robb, Sansa, and Arya) and one younger ( Rickon). He is named after his late uncle, Eddard's elder brother Brandon, whose death was one of the major events that led to Robert's Rebellion in 282 AC.

Historyīorn at Winterfell in 290 AC at the height of summer, Bran is the second son and fourth child of Catelyn Tully and Eddard Stark, head of House Stark. Bran clasps his fur-trimmed cloak with a heavy silver pin, but the boy's favorite clasp is a wolf's-head brooch of silver and polished jet which makes him look lordly. When riding, he wears a dark grey woolen surcoat with silver buttons, as well as fur-lined boots and gloves. īran owns grey breeches and a white doublet, the sleeves and collar of which are trimmed with vair. His half-brother Jon Snow fondly thinks to himself that Bran was always 'stubborn and curious', and in like manner constantly wanted to join in the play of the older boys, believing himself an adult at seven. Like his siblings, Bran is also dutiful and tough-minded, but also possesses a propensity for adventure and excitement he yearns to see far off places one day and dreams of becoming a knight. Catelyn once jested that Bran could climb before he could walk, however, his climbing often distresses her. He has a fascination with climbing and exploring along the walls and ramparts of the castle. īran is a sweet and thoughtful boy, well-loved by everyone at Winterfell.
