Ethan Forrester

"The future of this House is in Lord Ethan's hands now. Although he is young. And altogether unprepared to lead."

- Maester Ortengryn

Ethan Forrester is the third-born son of Lord Gregor Forrester and one of the playable characters in Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series. He is drawn to pursuits of the mind, particularly music and books. Ethan and his twin sister Talia both shared a great love for the towering trees of Ironrath. He was young when his house joined the War of the Five Kings, and the end of the war placed him into a role which he was unprepared for.

"Iron From Ice"
After his father and oldest brother Rodrik are killed in the betrayal at the Red Wedding, young Ethan officially becomes the new head of House Forrester, (though it is assumed he was still the acting Lord throughout the course of the war), when House Bolton is enforcing its new Lannister-backed rule of the North. Ethan succeeds despite being the third son because second son Asher Forrester was exiled some years before. The Bolton forces in the North are led by the psychotic Ramsay Snow, but Ethan declares that he does not fear him. Due to the actions of Gared Tuttle, Ramsay is sent to take care of a dispute between the Forresters and the Whitehills. After Ramsay arrives, he is greeted by Ethan and they begin to discuss the fate of the Forrester's Ironwood supply. Things seem to be going well until Ramsay begins to toy with Ethan's siblings; Talia and Ryon. Ethan convinces him to stand down, and Ramsay seems to pull back. However, Ramsay suddenly stabs Ethan in the neck--leaving a fatal wound, and leaving no official heir as Ryon is taken as a Ward by the Whitehills.
