Biography

Season 3

Willem, and his brother Martyn are captured by the forces of House Tully led by Edmure Tully following the Battle of Stone Mill. The two are kept as hostages at Riverrun, the seat of the Tullys.

After Robb Stark visits Riverrun to attend the funerals of Lord Hoster Tully, Willem and Martyn are visited in their cell by Queen Talisa Stark, who tends to Martyn's wounded hand. Willem looks on in silence while Martyn asks if the tales told among the Lannisters about Robb turning into a wolf at night or devouring his enemies are true.^[1] Earlier, Robb criticized Edmure Tully for the Battle of the Stone Mill and concludes that Willem and Martyn are not valuable enough to exchange for Sansa or Arya Stark.

Martyn and Willem are later murdered inside their cells by Lord Rickard Karstark and five other men in retribution for his son being killed by Jaime Lannister, and in defiance of Robb Stark's orders. The men involved are subsequently hanged and Rickard is later beheaded for his treason by Robb, causing the Karstarks to desert Robb's cause.^[2]
