In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Tormund Giantsbane is a senior wildling chieftain, serving under the command of Mance Rayder, the King-beyond-the-Wall. He serves alongside the Lord of Bones, the Magnar of Thenn and several other chieftains as an advisor to Rayder. He is a charismatic, good-humored man with a sense of humor and, by wildling standards, a rough sense of honor. He styles himself Tall-talker, Horn-blower, Breaker of Ice, Husband to Bears, the Mead-king of Ruddy Hall, Speaker to Gods and Father of Hosts. He has four sons (Toregg, Torwynd, Dryn and Dormund) and a daughter (Munda).
