Appearance and Character
Ebben is a squat, heavily-muscled, bald man.[3] He has served the Night's Watch as a boy and man.[4] He is regarded by Qhorin Halfhand as the ranger to go to when he needs a wildling interrogated or killed.[4]
Recent Events
A Clash of Kings
Ebben is part of the one-hundred men reinforcements from the Shadow Tower to arrive at the Fist of the First Men.[5] Before reaching the Fist, the Shadow Tower group was attacked by wildlings. Ebben questions the survivor and learns that the wildlings have gathered in search of a great power in the Frostfangs, though his interrogation was too harsh and the prisoner dies.[5]
Ebben is later chosen by Qhorin Halfhand alongside Stonesnake, Dalbridge and Jon Snow to scout the Skirling Pass to search for the wildlings.[5]
After the death of Squire Dalbridge, Ebben is sent on with the remaining horses to ride as fast as he can to Lord Commander Jeor Mormont.
He is killed by a wildling scouting party commanded by Rattleshirt, his head kept as a prize and shown to Jon later. Rattleshirt notes he died bravely.[6]
