The Stranger

"Finally there is the Stranger, rarely prayed to, who represents death."

- Catelyn Stark The Stranger ​is an aspect of The Seven. It represents death and the unknown. It is rarely prayed to.

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Stranger represents death and the unknown. The Stranger is neither male nor female, yet both, ever the outcast, the wanderer from far places, less and more than human, unknown and unknowable. The Stranger's face has also been described as half-human, concealed beneath a hooded mantle.

Worshipers rarely seek favor from the Stranger, but outcasts sometimes associate themselves with this aspect of God.

Silent Sisters are sometimes referred to as 'Wives of the Stranger'. They clothe themselves in grey and keep their faces cowled except for their eyes.

The House of Black and White, which is the domain of the Faceless Men in Braavos and a temple dedicated to the Many-Faced God contains a public shrine with idols of many death gods, including the Stranger.

Sandor Clegane may have named his horse after the Stranger.

While in a nameless village, Catelyn Stark prays in a sept is modest and has no statues of the Seven, only rough charcoal drawings to represent them. Here the Stranger's face is a black oval, a shadow with stars for eyes. It makes Catelyn uneasy. She thinks to herself that she would get scant comfort there.

Upon entering the sept of Maegor's Holdfast, on the eve of battle Sansa Stark sees that there are even a few candle flames dancing below the Stranger’s half-human face. Sansa visits each of the Seven in turn, lighting a candle at each altar.
