Bran Stark

Bran Stark was a boy built for climbing — Winterfell's walls, its towers, its half-ruined First Keep — before a fall from a height he should never have survived left him unable to walk at all. What might have ended most stories instead began his: the crippled boy began to dream of a three-eyed crow calling him north, dreams too vivid and too accurate to dismiss as a child's fancy. Guided by a wildling woman who remembers the old ways and a companion who claims descent from the First Men's oldest servants, Bran set out from a burning Winterfell on a journey no maester of the Citadel would have sanctioned and few could have survived. A maester records, with the discomfort proper to his order, that some of what Bran has since learned makes a mockery of the distinction between legend and history.
