Gared was a ranger of the Night's Watch. He is described in the prologue of A Game of Thrones as being "old, past fifty." He joined the Night's Watch as a boy and had spent 40 years in it by the beginning of A Song of Ice and Fire.

Physical Description

Gared lost his two ears, three toes, and the little finger of his left hand to the cold.

Death

After his commander Ser Waymar Royce had been killed by the Others, turned into a wight and killed Will, Gared became a deserter of the Night's Watch. He was arrested south of the Wall outside a small holdfast and later questioned and sentenced to death by Eddard Stark. Also present on the day of his death were Bran, Robb, Jon, Theon Greyjoy, and Jory Cassel. The latter laughed and kicked his head after Gared was beheaded by Ned with the greatsword Ice.
