Howland Reed

Lord Howland Reed is a minor character in the novel series and its television adaptation .
He is the Lord of Greywater Watch, the head of House Reed, and the ruler of the Neck, one of the southernmost regions of the North, making the overlord of the Crannogmen and the northern ruling neighbors of House Frey. Howland is married to a crannogwoman named Jyana and they have one daughter, Meera, and a son, Jojen. Howland is a close friend of Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell. Along with Eddard, he was the only survivor of the combat at the Tower of Joy, in the Red Mountains of Dorne, and believed to be the only living man to know about Jon Snow's exact parentage.
During the second novel, Howland sends his children Meera and Jojen to Winterfell for the Harvest Feast, where they will stay so that Jojen can eventually guide Brandon Stark beyond the Wall as demanded by the two boys' green dreams sent by the Three-Eyed Crow and through the heart trees. In the same novel, both Howland and his children face the Ironborn occupation by House Greyjoy, and Howland's crannogmen face Victarion Greyjoy and the Iron Fleet in war.
In the television adaptation Game of Thrones, a young Howland is played by Leo Woodruff during flashbacks in Season 6.
