Luwin

Luwin is a Maester of the Citadel and serves as the Maester of Winterfell, serving the lords of House Stark. He is mercy killed by Osha after the Sack of Winterfell.
== Appearances and Character ==
Luwin is described as grey by Catelyn, with grey robes, hair and eyes. He uses his sleeves to keep hidden pockets full of items that he may find useful. 
== History ==
Luwin delivered all of the offspring of the marriage of Catelyn Tully and Eddard Stark. He was tasked with educating the Stark children, as well as Ned's bastard, Jon Snow, and his ward, Theon Greyjoy. Luwin taught the stars to Jon, the history of the Night's Watch to Bran Stark and the history of the Lords of Winterfell to Theon.
It is unclear how he delivered Robb Stark, as he was born in Riverrun. It is possible, therefore, that he came south with Eddard when he joined in Robert's Rebellion.
