Winterfell shepherd

This unnamed man was a shepherd who owed his lands to House Stark of Winterfell. 
==Biography==
===Background===
He and his family lived in the lands of House Stark of Winterfell. His sons fought in the army of Robb Stark in the War of the Five Kings.
===Game of Thrones: Season 2===
In the great hall of Winterfell, Bran holds court for his people. The shepherd reports being unable to tend to his flock, since his three sons fight in the south. Bran offers to assign two orphans, Billy and Jack, from Winterfell's outlying town to aid him. The shepherd gratefully accepts, saying that his wife always wanted more children.
Winterfell is later seized by Theon Greyjoy. Bran and Rickon escape and pass close by to the shepherd's farm. Theon tracks them there and brutally questions the shepherd who denies having seen them. Dagmer finds nutshells and tells Theon to send Luwin back to Winterfell. Theon later returns to Winterfell with the charred corpses of two boys, pretending that they are the Stark princes.
Theon intends to compensate the shepherd for his trouble, but Dagmer reveals to Theon that he killed the shepherd and his wife to prevent them from revealing that the two corpses were those of the orphans.
==In the books==
In A Clash of Kings, in which most of Season 2 is based, there's no shepherd that adopts two orphans. Instead, there's a miller and his wife from Winterstown, whose two sons are killed at Theon's command to facilitate an identical ruse. The wife, who desperately begs for mercy, is also killed at Theon's command. It is unknown what has become of the miller, who was not at home while his family was murdered.
