Eddard Ned Stark (Sean Bean)Ned Stark is the Lord of Winterfell, Lord Paramount of the North, and Warden of the North.Ned is the middle son of Lord Rickard Stark of Winterfell, was fostered by Lord Jon Arryn at the Eyrie from the age of eight, where he became good friends with fellow ward Robert Baratheon, the child lord of Storm's End and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands.After Aerys II Targaryen killed his father and older brother, Brandon Stark, he also demanded the heads of both Ned and Robert. Instead of handing the two boys over, Jon Arryn rose up in rebellion. Ned, now Lord of Winterfell with his father's and brother's deaths, rallied the North and Lord Robert rallied the Stormlands and joined the rebellion. Because Lord Robert had the best claim to the throne, it eventually became known as Robert's Rebellion.Ned married Catelyn Tully shortly before participating in the decisive Battle of the Trident.When Ned returned to Winterfell at the end of Robert's Rebellion, he had a bastard son, Jon Snow, by an unknown woman he had met in the South. He raised Jon alongside his five trueborn children Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon.Eventually Ned and King Robert would be reunited when Ned went to King's Landing to become the Hand of the King.Ned is one of the most staunchly ethical men in Westeros who tries to follow either the letter or the spirit of the law. He is even-tempered, intelligent, warm, and loving and liked by all.
