Appearance

See also: Images of Big Walder Frey

Walder is a small, fox-faced lad. He is known as "Big Walder" because he is fifty-two days older than his cousin, "Little Walder" Frey, although Little Walder has since grown half a foot taller.[4]

Big Walder's armor is fine silver plate with enameled blue chasings. His crest is shaped like a castle and he rides a dappled grey courser.[3]
