Ethan Glover was a member of House Glover during the reign of King Aerys II Targaryen. He was the squire for Brandon Stark, the heir of Winterfell.[2]
History
When Brandon Stark learned of his sister Lyanna's abduction at the hands of Rhaegar Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone, he took off for King's Landing with Jeffory Mallister, Kyle Royce, Elbert Arryn, and his squire, Ethan. When Brandon entered the Red Keep and demanded that Rhaegar come out and die, King Aerys II Targaryen had Brandon's party arrested for threatening the life of the crown prince. The fathers of Brandon and his companions were called to King's Landing to answer for the crimes of their sons. The king had the fathers and sons all executed, with only Ethan spared.[3] Aerys then demanded that Jon Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie, execute his wards, Robert Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, and Brandon's younger brother Eddard Stark, now Lord of Winterfell. However, Jon refused the king's command, and Robert's Rebellion started shortly thereafter.[4]
After Aerys's death in the Sack of King's Landing, Eddard lifted the siege of Storm's End.[2] Lord Stark then rode to the Red Mountains with Ethan, Martyn Cassel, Theo Wull, Howland Reed, Ser Mark Ryswell, and Willam Dustin, Lord of Barrowton. At the tower of joy, they were confronted by the last three members of Aerys's Kingsguard, Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Oswell Whent, and Lord Commander Gerold Hightower. All but Eddard and Howland were slain in the ensuing fight. Afterwards, Eddard had the tower pulled down, and used its stones for cairns for the fallen.[2]

Quotes
In the dream his friends rode with him, as they had in life. Proud Martyn Cassel, Jory's father; faithful Theo Wull; Ethan Glover, who had been Brandon's squire; Ser Mark Ryswell, soft of speech and gentle of heart; the crannogman, Howland Reed; Lord Dustin on his great red stallion. Ned had known their faces as well as he knew his own once, but the years leech at a man's memories, even those he has vowed never to forget. In the dream they were only shadows, grey wraiths on horses made of mist.[2]
