Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

Summer was found with his litter-mates in the snow near their dead mother by Jon Snow and Robb Stark.[2] Bran had difficulty choosing a name for his new direwolf pup, going through a thousand names without settling on one.[3] After Bran's fall, Summer spent every moment he could howling beneath his window. Even when chased away, Summer would return and continue howling.[4] An intruder entered Bran's room with the intent to kill him. Summer sneaked in behind the man while he was occupied with Catelyn Tully and attacked him, tearing out his throat, ending the attack.[5] When Bran awakes from his coma-like state, he gives a name to his wolf, Summer.[6]

During Tyrion Lannister's return to Winterfell, Rickon arrived with the direwolves, Summer, Grey Wind and Shaggydog in tow. When they caught the scent of the Tyrion, all three direwolves moved in to corner him and Tyrion was only saved when the Starks called off their wolves.[7] During Bran's first ride on a horse since his fall, Robb, Grey Wind and Summer went off in search of deer leaving Bran alone. A small party of wildlings came upon Bran and promptly tried to robb him. Robb, Grey Wind and Summer returned and a fight ensued. Summer killed Hali, taking a knife wound in the process. All of the wildlings were killed except for Osha, who surrendered and was taken captive for further questioning.[8]

A Storm of Swords

Bran opens his third eye and wargs into Summer, where he encounters a pack of wolves eating a fresh kill. Bran inhabited Summer's mind as Summer fought the wolf pack for the carcass. It was only due to the interference of Hodor, acting on Jojen Reed's command, that Bran was forcibly made to vacate Summer's mind.[9]
