Gregor Forrester

**Lord Gregor Forrester** He was married to Lady Elissa Forrester and had eight children—Rodrik, Asher, Mira, Talia, Ethan and Ryon with his wife, and two bastards, Elsera and Josera, with an unnamed woman.

## Character

Gregor was a nice man who joked with his men and rewarded Gared Tuttle's hard work as his squire by promoting him. He was confident that Robb Stark will win the following battles. When Gregor is about to die, he reveals his stern side when he urges Gared to flee.

As a youth, Gregor Forrester famously arm-wrestled Galbert Glover for the privilege of becoming the man's squire. Glover later joked that it was the luckiest defeat of his life, for Gregor was a talented warrior. After Gregor's father died at the Trident, Gregor ascended to the lordship, marrying Lady Elissa Branfield, a daughter of Southron Targaryen loyalists, at the behest of King Robert. She bore him six healthy children: Rodrik, Asher, Mira, Ethan, Talia and Ryon, though Gregor was forced to send his second son, Asher, into exile after he fell in love Gwyn Whitehill, the eldest daughter of Gregor's bitter rival. Gregor privately named that event as his life's only true regret.

He attempts to flee with Gared, but finds that he cannot move anymore. He trusts Gared to bring the great sword of House Forrester back to Ironrath, and also asks Gared to relay a mysterious message to and only to Gared's uncle Duncan Tuttle, which is as follows: "The North Grove must never be lost." He then urges Gared to flee and is killed by two Frey soldiers soon afterward.
