Lord Howland Reed is the head of House Reed and the ruler of the crannogmen of the Neck, the boggy region that guards the southern approach to the North. A loyal vassal of House Stark and a close friend of Eddard Stark, he is the father of Meera and Jojen Reed. Though he rarely leaves his lands, his bond with Ned dates back to their youth and to the closing days of Robert's Rebellion.
In Game of Thrones he appears chiefly through others' recollections and in a flashback witnessed by Bran Stark, in which Howland rides with Ned to the Tower of Joy and turns the fight against Ser Arthur Dayne. He is portrayed as one of the last living witnesses to the secrets of that day.
