―Bran Stark to Tyrion LannisterLord **Brandon Stark**, more commonly known as **Bran**, was the fourth child and second son of Lord Eddard Stark and his wife, Lady Catelyn Tully, the younger brother of Robb, Sansa and Arya Stark, the older brother of Rickon Stark, and the "half-brother" of Jon Snow.

During his youth, he was crippled after being thrown from a tower by Ser Jaime Lannister, setting in motion a chain of events that would lead to the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings. Bran remained at Winterfell as it's acting Lord, all while being subject to cryptic dreams and visions. Bran, along his brother Rickon, later fled north after the castle was occupied by Greyjoy forces and sacked by Bolton forces, where they met Jojen and Meera Reed. Jojen revealed to Bran that he was a greenseer, and that they had to reach the "Three-Eyed Raven" beyond the Wall.

Eventually Bran reached the Three-Eyed Raven and received training, ultimately succeeding him after his death at the hands of the Night King, all of which significantly altered his personality. Bran fled back to Winterfell just prior to the outbreak of the Great War, but failed to prevent the castle from falling to the Night King. Once in King's Landing, Bran finally discovered the method to defeating the Army of the Dead, and used the last remnants of his power to cripple the Night King.

Upon the Night King's death, the "Three-Eyed Raven" ceased to exist and Bran regained much of his old personality. Bran later went on to reconcile with and marry Meera Reed, siring at least two children. As his elder sister Sansa had no children, he eventually succeeded her as Lord of Winterfell.

Following the Great War, Bran was appointed to the Small Council of King Gendry I Baratheon to serve as his new Hand of the King. He went on to hold the office for close to a century (aside from a brief period during the War of the Narrow Sea, when he lead an expedition to the Lands of Always Winter), serving throughout the reigns of King Gendry and King Robert II Baratheon, the Bloodless War, and the early reign of King Robert III Baratheon, before he passed away in 401 AC at the incredible age of 113. Bran's longevity was considered possible due to the residual power he maintained from his time as the Three-Eyed Raven.
