[edit] History

Like the other Stark direwolves, Grey Wind formed a special bond with his master. Like Robb, Grey Wind grew bold and faithful. He followed Robb around Winterfell and sat at his feet when he held court. When Greatjon Umber menaced Robb during an audience, Grey Wind bit several of the lord's fingers off, helping Robb gain the respect of Umber and other Stark bannermen. During the War of the Five Kings, Grey Wind followed Robb into battle and added significantly to Robb's fearsome reputation.

Just before the Red Wedding, Grey Wind sensed the Freys' impending betrayal. He growled at Lothar Frey and Bastard Walder Frey upon Robb's arrival at the Twins. Catelyn urged Robb to trust Grey Wind's instincts, but Robb had him tethered in the stables during the wedding. While the butchery of the Stark forces took place, Frey men killed Grey Wind. His head was sewn onto Robb's corpse as a final insult to the Starks.
