Lord Walder Frey was the head of House Frey and Lord of the Crossing, ruling the Twins and its strategically vital bridge over the Green Fork of the Riverlands. A vassal of House Tully, he was famed for his enormous brood of descendants, his repeated marriages, and his willingness to trade his allegiance for advantage — a reputation that earned him the mocking title "the Late Lord Frey."
In the HBO series Game of Thrones he is best known as the architect of the Red Wedding, at which he betrayed guest right to have Robb Stark, his mother Catelyn, and their bannermen slaughtered, receiving Riverrun from House Lannister as his reward. His dominion over the Riverlands later crumbled, and he was ultimately killed by Arya Stark in revenge for the Red Wedding.
