Appearance and Character

Howland is a small man,[4] like all crannogmen, but has been described by his daughter Meera Reed as having been brave, strong, and smart in his youth as well.[5]
History
Howland Reed first met the Starks during the tourney at Harrenhal, 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 identity remains unknown.
Howland fought alongside Eddard during Robert's Rebellion, and accompanied Eddard to the Tower of Joy to reclaim Eddard's abducted sister Lyanna.[4] Only he and Eddard survived, and Eddard once claimed that Howland Reed saved his life from Ser Arthur Dayne.[3] Since the end of that conflict, Lord Reed has not left the Neck. With Eddard's death, Howland is apparently the only remaining person to have witnessed the mysterious events that took place in the tower that day.
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Having called the northern banners to rescue Eddard Stark from King's Landing, Robb Stark sends word to Howland to have the crannogmen bleed the Lannisters if they march up the Neck.[6]
A Clash of Kings
At the onset of the War of the Five Kings, Howland sends his teenaged children, Jojen and Meera, to pledge the Reeds to Robb as King in the North.[3]
A Storm of Swords
At Hag's Mire, King Robb tasks Galbart Glover and Maege Mormont with sailing into the Neck to inform Howland of his plan to recover Moat Cailin from the ironborn.[7] Robb is killed in the Red Wedding before the plan can be put into action, however.
A Dance with Dragons
The ironborn garrison of Moat Cailin is weakened by the guerrilla warfare practiced by Howland's crannogmen.[8]
Quotes about Howland
He will appear eventually.[9]
