Appearance and Character

See also: Images of Howland Reed

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.
