Howland Reed
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
Howland Reed is the Lord of Greywater Watch and holds dominion over the crannogmen of the Neck. He is one of Eddard Stark's closest friends.
[edit] History
Howland Reed first met the Starks during the tournament at Harrenhall, when he was beset by rowdy squires and protected by Lyanna Stark. Later, a mystery challenger dubbed the Knight of the Laughing Tree entered the joust to defend his honor, though the knight's true identity remains unknown. Howland fought alongside Eddard during Robert's Rebellion, and accompanied Eddard's group to the Tower of Joy to reclaim Eddard's abducted sister Lyanna. Only he and Eddard survived, and Eddard once claimed that Howland Reed saved his life from Ser Arthur Dayne. With Eddard's death, Howland is the only remaining person to have witnessed the mysterious events that took place in the tower that day.
At the onset of the War of the Five Kings, Howland sent his teenaged children, Jojen and Meera, to pledge the Reeds to Robb Stark as King of the North. His crannogmen have defended the Neck against invaders, from House Lannisters to Ironmen. His children now guard the Stark heir.
