Craster is a wildling, the master of Craster's Keep beyond the Wall. He has nineteen wives, many of whom are his own daughters, including Gilly. He is one of the few wildlings not openly hostile to the Night's Watch; although he showed the Watch no malice and offered sanctuary to those north of the Wall on rangings, he was regarded as a tenuous ally at best, due to his incestuous relationships, and suspicions that he sacrificed his male children to the Others.[1]
In fact as it turns out he is giving them up to become White Walkers, as revealed by one of the older wives when urging Gilly and Sam to flee : “The boy’s brothers,” said the old woman on the left. “Craster’s sons. The white cold’s rising out there, crow. I can feel it in my bones. These poor old bones don’t lie. They’ll be here soon, the sons.”
History
Supposedly his father was a member of the Night's Watch and a woman from Whitetreeand after he returned to the Wall, she went to Castle Black to show him his new son, but was chased away by other members of the Night's Watch. Although the father's name is never mentioned, the name given to his son sounds very like Stark. [2]
Recent Events
A Clash of Kings
Craster begrudgingly allowed the Night's Watch to stay at his keep overnight during their ranging beyond the Wall.[3]
A Storm of Swords
Craster again allowed the men of the Night's Watch who survived the Battle of the Fist of the First Men an overnight stay at his keep. This time, several members of the Watch, already mutinous, believed that Craster was holding out with the meager food he offered them, and insulted him to the point of attacking, whereupon he was killed by Dirk. [4]
Appearance
Once a powerful-looking man, he is nearing the end of his life. His hair is grey turning to white. He has a flat nose and a drooping mouth, which gives him a cruel look and one of his ears is missing, which he has lost to the cold.[5]
