He commanded the men from the Shadow Tower.[2]

Recent Events

A Storm of Swords

The men of the Night's Watch made their stand at the Fist of the First Men but they were attacked by Others. They retreated to Craster's Keep. Many were wounded. Among them was Ser Byam, who had a wound at the shoulder.[3]

The men were hungry and accused Craster of keeping food from them. Craster reached for his dagger but was killed by Dirk. Dying he fell on Ser Byam Flint. When Lord Mormont wanted to have the murderer killed he was murdered himself and a fight erupted between the murderers and men loyal to Mormont.

It is not known what happened to Ser Byam afterwards but Sam noticed that he did not moan anymore.[4]

  1. Most nobles in the North follow the old gods and thus don't seek knighthood, which is connected with the worship of the Faith of the Seven
