The three-eyed crow appears to Bran Stark in dreams. He is known by the Children of the Forest as the Last Greenseer.[1] He once was a man of the Night's Watch. He is said to have a thousand eyes and one.[2]

Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

The three-eyed crow appears to Bran in his dreams and tells Bran it can teach him to fly. When Bran is in a coma after his fall, the crow guides him out, telling Bran that he is the winged wolf bound in chains.[3]

A Dance with Dragons

Bran, Hodor, Meera and Jojen Reed find the three-eyed crow in a cave north of the Wall. He teaches Bran about greenseeing and skinchanging. He tells Bran that he was once a lord called Brynden.[4] The crow feeds Bran a bowl of weirwood seeds to awaken his green seeing gifts. When Bran sees his father, Eddard, through Winterfell's heart tree, he tells Bran that he is haunted by his own ghosts, a brother that he loved, a brother that he hated, and a woman that he desired, but knows from experience that you cannot change the past.[5]

Appearance

The three-eyed crow has thin, long white hair and one red eye. He is encased in weirwoods, and is more tree than man. He is so skeletal and his clothes are so rotted that Bran takes him for a corpse.[6]

Theories

There is strong evidence to suggest that the three-eyed crow is in fact the Targaryen Great Bastard, Brynden Rivers. See Three-eyed crow/Theories.
