Mallador Locke[N 1] is a knight of the Night's Watch from House Locke.[1] Sweet Donnel Hill is his squire.[2]
Character and Appearance
[edit]Loyal to the Night's Watch,[2] Mallador has a longsword[2] and helm and rides a horse.[3]
Recent Events
[edit]A Clash of Kings
[edit]Ser Mallador is part of the great ranging that leaves Castle Black in search of the wildlings. He commands the baggage train in the column.[4]
When Qhorin Halfhand is delayed in reaching the Fist of the First Men, Mallador suggests that the Watch head toward the Shadow Tower.[5]
A Storm of Swords
[edit]Mallador agrees with Ser Ottyn Wythers and counsels a retreat to the Wall after the discovery of the massive wildling force descending on the Fist of the First Men. However, Thoren Smallwood convinces him to change his mind and he then sides with Thoren for a swift attack.[2]
As the fight at the Fist begins, Samwell Tarly sees Mallador ride past on his horse with a snow-speckled helm. Later in the battle, Sam thinks that Mallador might be the officer who gives a command to use spears.[3] Mallador presumably dies at the Fist, the ensuing retreat, or the mutiny at Craster's Keep, since he is not mentioned among the few survivors who return to Castle Black.[6]
Quotes
[edit]Jarman: A year ago Robert was king, and the realm was at peace. Much can change in a year's time.
Mallador: One thing hasn't changed. Fewer wildlings means fewer worries. I won't mourn, whatever's become of them. Raiders and murderers, the lot of them.[4]—Jarman Buckwell and Mallador
Jeor: Remember your words, brothers. For we are the swords in the darkness, the watchers on the walls ...
Mallador: The fire that burns against the cold.[2]—Jeor Mormont and Mallador
