Billy was a young Northern boy orphaned during the War of the Five Kings and fostered by a shepherd near Winterfell, alongside another boy named Jack. Bran Stark placed the pair in the shepherd's care to help tend his flock.
When Bran and Rickon Stark escaped the Ironborn occupation of Winterfell, Theon Greyjoy had Billy and Jack killed and their charred bodies displayed as those of the Stark boys to cover their flight. Theon's guilt over the murders followed him for years. This overview summarizes his depiction in the HBO series; see the Timeline for chronology.
