Neds younger brother who is

King Robert dies as a result of a hunting accident. His son Joffrey Baratheon claims the throne. Eddard challenges his legitimacy and is arrested for treason.

Robb decides to ride against King Joffrey and wants to bid his younger brothers goodbye, but Rickon is nowhere to be found. Afterwards, Bran tries to reassure Rickon that Robb will return along with their parents, but Rickon wistfully replies, "No, they won't. Rickon sees his father in the crypts below Winterfell in a dream.

He goes down to the crypts with Shaggydog to look for him. He meets Bran, who also had a dream about his father being there. When Bran emerges from the crypts, Maester Luwin tells him that their father has been killed for treason against Joffrey Baratheon. As Bran holds court for his people, remaining the the acting Lord of Winterfell, Rickon sits beside his older brother, shelling nuts loudly with a rock.

The shepherd gratefully accepts. When the shepherd leaves, Bran tells Rickon to stop. Having seen everyone, Bran tells Maester Luwin that he is going to go for a ride before dark and calls for Hodor. An attack on Torrhen's Square is used as a feint orchestrated by Theon Greyjoy to lure away the garrison, headed by Rodrik Cassel , from Winterfell.

He seizes the poorly defended castle and forces Bran to surrender to him by threatening the people. Rickon is distraught when Theon publicly executes Rodrik.

Along with Bran, he tries to plead for Rodrik's life but to no avail. Osha manages to free Bran and Rickon and leads them out of the castle. Rickon remembers that Bran sent Billy and Jack there and wants to approach them for food. Bran is cautious about putting them in danger if they are tracked.

Bran's concern proves valid when Theon later reaches the farm but cannot find Bran or Rickon. He brutalizes the shepherd and then returns to Winterfell with the charred corpses of two boys, claiming that they are Bran and Rickon.

Luwin correctly deduces that the bodies must be the orphans from the farm. The Ironborn turn on Theon and accept Robb Stark's offer to spare their lives in return for surrendering.

However, the House Bolton forces flay the Ironborn alive and sacks Winterfell, killing many of its inhabitants in the process. Following the Sack of Winterfell , Rickon and his companions emerge from the crypt to discover Winterfell in ruins. They also find a dying Maester Luwin resting under the willow tree.

While Bran and Rickon offer to bring medicine to treat Luwin's wounds, he declines their offer and tells them to gather all of their warm clothing and travel north to Castle Black , where they would be safe with their half-brother, Jon Snow.

At Luwin's own request, Osha euthanizes the elderly maester after the boys leave with Hodor. Rickon then travels north, accompanied by his older brother, Bran; their guardian, Osha; Hodor; and their two direwolves. Rickon inquires into Bran's welfare following his awakening from a greensight vision. During the journey, the group encounters Jojen Reed and his sister, Meera Reed.

During the first encounter between the two parties, Rickon and Hodor are out hunting, leaving Bran and Osha behind to guard the camp. The siblings are members of House Reed , a vassal house of House Stark , and had been searching for Bran and Rickon so that they can protect them. Bran also experiences strange dreams of seeing the world through the eyes of his wolf, Summer. Bran would later learn from Jojen that he is a Warg and has the ability to enter the minds of animals and control their actions.

Later, Rickon and his companions reach the Gift , a region south of the Wall that is considered to be beyond the borders of the Seven Kingdoms. The Gift had been granted to the Night's Watch thousands of years ago by Brandon the Builder , from which the Watch draws support for its material needs. While the region is fertile, it has become uninhabited due to frequent wildling attacks that forced the smallfolk to migrate south over the centuries.

When his brother, Bran, raises this controversial issue, which troubles Osha due to her Wildling ancestry, Rickon adds that he had heard tales about the Wildlings drinking blood. Rickon and his companions take shelter at an abandoned mill to escape a thunderstorm. Later, the group notices a band of Wildlings chasing down a Northman. During the ensuing incident, Bran uses his Warg powers to Warg through Summer and Shaggydog to fight off the Wildlings.

This party of Wildlings includes Jon Snow , who earlier had been taken captive by them. This arrangement also suited Osha because she was unwilling to travel beyond the Wall with Bran due to the threat of the White Walkers. Rickon becomes upset, being separated from his brother and expresses his desire to accompany him on his journey. Bran tells him that if he or Robb do not return, Rickon needs to stay alive as the heir to Winterfell.

It is around this time that the Red Wedding takes place and several more members of Rickon's family are killed: his mother, Catelyn Stark; his brother, Robb Stark; his pregnant sister-in-law, Talisa ; and her unborn child. His bastard son, Ramsay Snow , has physically and psychologically tortured Theon Greyjoy , the Starks' former ward, turning him into a broken pet called "Reek", who reveals to Roose that he did not in fact kill Bran and Rickon, and that they may be with Jon Snow at the Wall.

Roose sends his best hunter, Locke , to find Bran and Rickon, promising him a acres and a holdfast. After the Bolton army drives the remaining ironborn from the North and takes Winterfell, Roose Bolton asks Ramsay if he has heard anything from Locke. Ramsay informs him that he has not. Roose dismisses Locke's absence as unimportant, speculating that Bran and Rickon may already be dead anyway. Rickon is still largely believed to have died along with Bran at the hands of Theon.

When Sansa Stark returns to Winterfell to be wed to Ramsay at the behest of Petyr Baelish , Ramsay initially forces Theon to keep up the charade and apologize to Sansa. Stunned by this admission, her anger towards Theon cools but when she asks if he knows where they might have gone to, he breaks down and leaves the room, fearful of what Ramsay will do if and when he finds out what he just told her.

However, Sansa appears to be left with a sense of renewed hope by the revelation that she still has surviving family left. Rickon and Osha, having reached Last Hearth, are betrayed by Smalljon Umber after the Greatjon's passing and brought before Ramsay Bolton in order to form an alliance against Jon Snow and the Wildlings. After seeing Shaggydog's decapitated head as proof of the boy's identity, Ramsay sarcastically welcomes Rickon home, while Rickon shows visible signs of anger at Ramsay and his dead direwolf.

After hearing that Rickon is in danger, Jon and Sansa declare war on Ramsay. Before they commence battle, the three of them have a parley where Ramsay asks Jon and Sansa if they will let Rickon die because they are too proud to surrender. When Sansa asks for proof that he actually has her brother, Smalljon pulls Shaggydog's head out of a sack and tosses it to the ground in front of them. Ramsay begins to repeat his terms if they wish to save Rickon but Sansa, having firsthand experience of Ramsay's "mercy", cuts him off and declares that he is going to die the next day.

As the two armies face each other on the battlefield , Rickon is brought forward. He lowers his head as Ramsay raises a dagger, but his captor simply cuts the ropes and asks if Rickon likes games. He tells the boy to run to his brother. Rickon begins to walk but looks back to see Ramsay taunting him and starts running. Jon, knowing what Ramsay is plotting, begins riding towards Rickon who keeps running and is nearly hit as arrows land dangerously close. Just as Rickon is about to reach his brother, he is struck by an arrow and killed.

This in turn provokes Jon and his army into attacking the Bolton forces while Rickon's body is hit with another volley of arrows. Though the battle proves costly to the Stark forces, they ultimately emerge victorious due to the arrival of a House Arryn cavalry force.

Rickon is avenged when Smalljon is killed in battle by Tormund , and Ramsay is viciously beaten to a bloody pulp by Jon before being fed to his own hounds on Sansa's orders. After the battle, his corpse is brought to Winterfell and Jon orders him to be buried in the crypts next to his father.

After returning to Winterfell, Arya is reunited with Sansa in the crypts, where Sansa tells her that Bran has returned but fails to mention Rickon, leading Arya to the distressing truth of Rickon's murder. He is very young, but fierce and strong for his age. He has the auburn hair and blue eyes of the Tullys. He and Robb are the only ones out of the six children who are not POV characters. Another similarity is that as Rickon gets older, he gradually gets a larger speaking role, as seen in both the second book and Season 2, compared to his small role in the first book and Season 1.

Rickon is deeply affected by the massive losses occurring in his young life, compounded by the fact that he is only three to six old between the first and third novels , thus has difficulty comprehending why these horrible things are even happening.

Within a span of only two years, the Lannisters and their allies killed Rickon's father, burned down his home castle of Winterfell, and killed his mother and oldest brother.

The loss of Maester Luwin was also a heavy blow to him. As a result, Rickon becomes very angry and aggressive, which is reflected in the attitude of his direwolf Shaggydog. Rickon is so upset when his mother leaves home to travel with Robb's army to the south that he refuses to have his hair cut.

As a result, his hair becomes long and very unruly, signifying the mountain of anger and grief the young boy sits on, due to the loss of his slain family members and followers. He is separated from Bran much earlier than in the show, just after leaving Winterfell.

Maester Luwin advises Osha to take him either to the White Harbor or to Last Hearth, since both are inhabited by loyal bannermen of the Starks. Wex , the only survivor of the ironborn who occupied Winterfell, followed them and then went to the White Harbor and told Lord Manderly.

Lord Manderly, one of the Starks' loyal bannermen, seeking to avenge his son Wendel, offers to pledge his allegiance to King Stannis Baratheon if Davos brings Rickon back safely. Lord Manderly plans to overthrow the Boltons and restore House Stark.

Anyways, as you know this site is in homage to Ned, my older brother, who likes others who have died way, too young Sean Taylor, Heath Ledger, that faggot kid in My Girl, etc.

Luckily for you readers, I again am doing absolutely no work and rather than working on my essays for Business school which are due in a couple days, I thought I would focus on something of much more importance.

They give me nightmares, as I know it does to my fellow mankind. As we inaugurate our newly elected leader of the free world, this is my open plea. Why in your right mind would anyone want to intensify that by putting a fucking balloon on down there?

At this point it is all about her pleasure, and everyone can agree there is something seriously wrong with that. Honestly, most nights I would rather just beat off to computer porn than have to go through the effort of picking up some slut. Not only does it feel better, but your hand is not going to want you to give it a ride home or actually have a conversation with it in the morning.

NO, he wants us to pullout. How do I know this? Fucking retard. Fucking expensive Have you seen how expensive condoms are recently? No seriously, I have no clue. Do what I did, just run down to the kitchen, simply find your least full packet of Ritz crackers, and empty that shit out. Add a little bit of tape and Voila: homemade condom! Unnecessary Honestly, condoms should only be used as a last ditch effort in extreme circumstances. Like if the bitch has AIDs. There are so many safeguards these days against pregnancy it is ridiculous.

And even then there is still partial-birth! It really boils down to the laziness of the woman if you ask me. Remember me? I apologize for not writing on this site for nearing 2 months now, and yes Barry Bonds, one might make the case that it has a lot to do with Ned's passing, some 28 years ago.

However the real reason is that sadly, I have sold my soul to corporate America. I'll try to update this more often in the near future. A lot has happend since we last visited. I bagged a 44 year old cougar with kids who were 20 and 18 years old. High point in my life to say the least.

Every day I try to do something which would make my parents proud, and I'm pretty sure this one act covered me for the entire year. The good news is that 21 days from now I'll have another prime opportunity with the official opening of the Summer on Memorial Day at the beach.

However, in the meantime, I would like to discuss something that I feel should be a major concern to all Americans.
