Theo Wull, also known as Buckets because of his clan's sigil, was a member of the Wulls.[1] His relation to Hugo Wull, the clan chief of the Wulls, is unknown.

Character

Lord Eddard Stark considers Theo to have been faithful.[2]

History

Theo was one of Lord Eddard Stark's companions, fighting alongside him during Robert's Rebellion. He was slain at the tower of joy in the Red Mountains of Dorne during a fight with three of Aerys II Targaryen's Kingsguard. Afterwards, Eddard had the tower pulled down, and used its stones for cairns for the fallen.[2]

Recent Events

During a fever dream, Lord Eddard Stark recalls Theo and his other former companions at the tower of joy.[2]

A Storm of Swords

Bran Stark and his companions travel through the northern mountains. They see almost no-one on their journey, and Meera Reed asks if anyone lives there. Bran mentions the northern mountain clans, including the Wulls, and Meera asks her brother Jojen if she recalls correctly that a Wull rode with their father during Robert's Rebellion. Jojen replies that it was Theo Wull, called Buckets, and Bran adds that buckets are on House Wull's sigil.[1]

Quotes

In the dream his friends rode with him, as they had in life. Proud Martyn Cassel, Jory's father; faithful Theo Wull; Ethan Glover, who had been Brandon's squire; Ser Mark Ryswell, soft of speech and gentle of heart; the crannogman, Howland Reed; Lord Dustin on his great red stallion. Ned had known their faces as well as he knew his own once, but the years leech at a man's memories, even those he has vowed never to forget. In the dream they were only shadows, grey wraiths on horses made of mist.[2]
