The
Under-Father is one of the free folk and the clan chieftain of the Cave Dwellers. He’s the father of countless children, all of whom were conceived
through inbreeding. He is greatly revered by his children who view him as the
unrivalled ruler of their world beneath the surface.

## Appearance & Character

The
Under-Father is a tall and grotesquely obese man with the ashen grey skin and
pale eyes of a cave dweller. His teeth are filed into sharp points and he wears
a chain of rings, armbands, coins and other knick-knacks taken from rangers of
the Night’s Watch. He is a man consumed by greed and malice, always wanting
more of whatever his fickle mind sets his eyes on. He speaks with a fervour and
passion that enraptures those of his own kind, being able to easily rouse them
into a bloodthirsty rage with naught but a passionate speech.

## Grott

The man
known today as the Under-Father was given the name Grott by his own father at
the age of 3 once it became clear that he was not likely to die by the cold. His
childhood was not an easy one. Grott’s father, a brute named Halvard was a
cruel man who regularly beat his children as well as their mother. Yet Halvard
was a big and strong man and was therefore viewed as a mighty warrior by those
of the clan, and owed his moments of cruelty. Grott’s bitter loathing of his
father only grew over the years, and when he was finally a man grown he decided to act.
Grott hid above one of the cave entrances to their underground home and shouted
mocking insults to his father whom he knew would be close. When his father came
storming out of the cave Grott dropped a boulder onto his father’s head. He
then dragged the body back into the caves, claiming to have turned his father’s
head to mush with his bare hands. With his father gone Grott claimed his mother
as well as his two sisters as his bed-mates, all of whom would bear him
children.

## The Father Below

Grott’s
influence over the cave dwellers would only grow over the years. He was now
regarded as a mighty warrior, and would join his people on raids against their
neighbours and the crows of Castle Black. It wasn’t long before he was able to
manipulate his clansmen into rebelling against their current chieftain. He had
them rip the man’s entrails out and then ordered that the man’s body be
prepared for a feast to celebrate his ascension as clan chieftain. By this time
he’d fathered over a dozen children, and he began to refer to all the cave
dwellers as his children, and it wasn’t long before he became known exclusively
as the Under-Father.

## Ruler of the Depths

The Under-Father
was soon known even amongst other clans and he would at times invite their
chieftains to feast with him in his home underground. Their realm was uncontested
and so he made few enemies amongst the other clans, choosing instead to placate
them with flattery and promises. Yet he bore an unending loathing for the
rangers of the Night’s Watch. The wall was a nuisance in all their lives, and
who were these southerners to try and tell them that they may not pass into
their lands? He dreamed of rediscovering Gorne’s Way and leading his people
underneath the wall to take the lands of the south unawares. Yet half a
life-time spent searching with no results left such hopes waning, his dream
slowly dying in the darkness below.

Yet his
ambitions to smash the Night’s Watch and seize the lands of Winterfell lingered
in his ravenous mind. The free folk would never do so fractured as they were,
but united they could overwhelm the Watch and flood the north. The free folk
would need a King to bring them all together, a King to bring their people to a
new age of glory. He fancied the idea of seizing such an honour himself, but
even if that was not to be, a King would need a strong right-hand-man to sway
the Free Folk to his side.
