Mikken

Mikken was the blacksmith at Winterfell. At Jon's request, he forged the sword Needle for Arya.
==Biography==
===Game of Thrones: Season 1===
Mikken is seen in the background when Bran is practicing archery while his brothers watch (particularly in the close-up shot of Rickon's laugh). Later, Mikken assembles with the Winterfell household to receive King Robert Baratheon. He stands behind Maester Luwin. Mikken forges the sword, Needle, for Arya. Eddard Stark finds Arya with the sword and recognizes Mikken's maker's mark on it.
===Game of Thrones: Season 2===
It is unclear what happened to Mikken after the Sack of Winterfell; it is likely he was killed by Ramsay Bolton's men, as he is never seen again.
==Behind the scenes==
Mikken was played by Boyd Rankin, who was an armorer and weapon smith for the series.
==In the books==
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Mikken is the blacksmith at Winterfell.
Mikken is one of three people (alongside Alebelly the guard and Septon Chayle) whose deaths are foreseen by Jojen Reed.
Following the capture of Winterfell, it is not Farlen but Mikken who talks defiantly to Theon Greyjoy, although Bran tries to hush him. One of the ironborn beats and kills Mikken for his defiance.
