==Notable Free Folk== ===Known Kings-Beyond-the-Wall=== :{{main|King-Beyond-the-Wall}} * the legendary [[Joramun]], who according to myth lived not long after the Wall was first built * the brothers [[Gendel]] and [[Gorne]] * the [[Horned King]] * [[Bael the Bard]] * [[Raymun Redbeard]] *[[Mance Rayder]], king at the time of the [[War of the Five Kings]] in the Seven Kingdoms to the south. United the various tribes of the free folk to attempt to force a passage south of the Wall, to flee the return of the White Walkers in the distant north. Captured after the [[battle beneath the Wall]] and allegedly burned at the stake by [[Stannis Baratheon]]. ===Chieftains and war-band leaders in Mance's army=== [[File:Grzegorz Rutkowski Crow Killers.JPG|thumb|350px|Crow Killers, by Grzegorz Rutkowski Β© Fantasy Flight Games]] *[[Tormund]], known as "Giantsbane", among many other things, a raider prone to tall tales. *[[Harma]], called "Harma Dogshead", an infamous female raider and [[w:cynophobia|cynophobe]].{{Ref|ASOS|15}} Commanded the vanguard of Mance's army as it marched south. Killed during the battle beneath the Wall.{{Ref|ASOS|73}} **[[Halleck]], Harma's brother, who apparently took over leadership of her surviving followers. *The Lord of Bones, mocked by rangers (and some free folk) as "[[Rattleshirt]]", a sadistic raider who wears armor made of bone. Captured after the [[attack on Castle Black]], secretly burned alive in place of Mance Rayder. *[[Styr]], the Magnar of Thenn, chieftain of the [[Thenns]], a warlike and well-organized free folk tribe. Killed during the battle beneath the Wall. **[[Sigorn]], son of Styr, who succeeded his father as the new Magnar of the Thenns *[[Varamyr|Varamyr "Sixskins"]], a diminutive skinchanger who is accompanied by three wolves, a shadowcat, and a large snow bear that he rides. Father of several sons. Mortally wounded while fleeing the battle beneath the wall, his consciousness survived by skin-changing into the body of his wolf [[One Eye]]. *The [[Weeper]], an infamous wildling raider with watery eyes who carries a great steel scythe in battle, known for carving out the eyes of his fallen enemies. Unlike the other wildlings chieftains he rejected Jon Snow's call for a truce in exchange for safe passage south of the Wall, and his followers are still killing scouts from the Night's Watch who venture beyond the Wall. *[[Alfyn Crowkiller]], an infamous wildling chieftain, killed by Qhoren Half-hand during his scouting expedition. He left several sons behind but it is unclear who is now leading his remaining war-band. *[[Gerrick Kingsblood]], a somewhat more respectable but pretentious wildling chieftain, who claims he has "king's blood" because he descends from [[Raymun Redbeard]]. In truth he descends from Raymun's brother, and even if he did descend from Raymun it would be of little importance because status as King-Beyond-the-Wall is not hereditary. *[[Soren Shieldbreaker]], one of the major wildling chieftains, he carries a great axe in battle. *[[Morna White Mask]], one of the major wildling chieftains, a warrior-witch. So-called because she wears a mask made of white weirwood. *[[Devyn Sealskinner]], a major wildling chieftain, apparently from near the coast. *The [[Great Walrus]], one of the major wildling chieftains, leader of the tribes from the [[Frozen Shore]] with their great sleds made of walrus-bone. *[[Ygon Oldfather]], a wildling chieftain with eighteen wives, he commands a war-band largely composed of his numerous sons and grandsons. *[[Val]], Mance's sister-in-law. Aided Mance's wife [[Dalla]] when she went into labor but died in childbirth during the battle beneath the Wall, and then imprisoned.{{Ref|ASOS|75}}{{Ref|ASOS|76}} While not a chieftain as such, she continues to command much respect from the other wildlings who surrendered after the battle. Called the "wildling princess" by the brothers of the Night's Watch and the southern [[knight]]s of Stannis Baratheon due to her relation to the King-beyond-the-Wall.{{Ref|ADWD|44}} *Other chiefs and leaders of lesser note: **[[Brogg]] **[[Gavin the Trader]] **[[Harle the Huntsman]] and his brother [[Harle the Handsome]], who hate each other **[[Howd Wanderer]], who "walks alone" **[[Blind Doss]] **[[Kyleg of the Wooden Ear]] ===Other wildlings=== *[[Craster]], who lived in a [[Craster's Keep|keep]] near the Wall and gave begrudging aid to [[ranger]]s of the [[Night's Watch]]. Murdered by some of his guests during the [[mutiny at Craster's Keep]].{{Ref|ASOS|33}} *[[Borroq]], a skinchanger who can inhabit the body of his massive boar, twice the size of a direwolf. *[[Dalla]], wife of [[Mance Rayder]]. Died in childbirth during the [[battle beneath the Wall]].{{Ref|ASOS|73}}{{Ref|ASOS|76}} *[[Mother Mole]], a woods-witch, who after the defeat of the wildlings at Castle Black insisted that she received visions that the survivors should flee to [[Hardhome]]. Thousands followed her, but became trapped by increasing attacks from the White Walkers. *[[Orell]], a raider and [[skinchanger]]. He was killed by [[Jon Snow]] while his mind inhabited an eagle. A part of his consciousness became permanently trapped in the eagle, causing it to hate Jon Snow. [[Melisandre]] killed the eagle while Varamyr inhabited it, causing him to go mad. *[[Osha]], free folk woman taken captive by forces of [[House Stark]] south of the Wall. Spared execution in exchange for service, she became a guardian and companion to [[Rickon Stark]]. *[[Ygritte]], red-haired lover to Jon Snow. Killed in the attack on Castle Black.
