"I'll send Hal with a squad of guardsmen to escort you."
―Ser Rodrik Cassel[src]

Hallis Mollen[b] was the new captain of the guard at Winterfell after the departure of Jory Cassel.

Biography[]

Game of Thrones: Season 1[]

Ser Rodrik Cassel suggests to Catelyn that if she is heading south to capture Tyrion, she should take "Hal" and a squad of guardsmen with her. Catelyn declines, pointing out that too large of a traveling party will attract unwanted attention. Instead, Catelyn only allows Rodrik himself to accompany her.[1]

Game of Thrones: Season 2[]

After hearing about an attack on Torrhen's Square, the seat of House Tallhart, Ser Rodrik leads a force of 200 men away from Winterfell to defend the Tallharts, leaving Winterfell highly undefended;[2] an Ironborn force led by Theon easily seizes the castle.[3] It is likely that Hallis Mollen died defending Winterfell, as he is never seen again.[4]

In the books[]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Hallis Mollen is Jory Cassel's replacement as captain of the guard at Winterfell, after Jory travels with Ned Stark to King's Landing. He is muscular and has a square brown beard. He has a loose tongue and tendency to state the obvious.

In the books, following Ned's arrest, Hallis goes south with Robb Stark's army and takes part in the battle in the Whispering Wood. Later he accompanies Catelyn south when she goes to treat with Renly Baratheon at Storm's End. After Catelyn receives Ned's bones at Riverrun, she orders Hallis to escort them back to Winterfell for proper burial in the crypts. What happened to Hallis's party is unknown, except that they never reached their destination.

In the TV series, Ned's bones are delivered instead by Littlefinger, at Tyrion's request, at Renly's camp in the Stormlands. In "Battle of the Bastards", Jon says "We're going to bury my brother in the crypt next to my father" - indicating that Ned's bones have been brought to Winterfell and buried in the crypts.

Notes[]

  1. In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 2 in 299 AC.
