Really like this actor. Benjen Stark is the younger brother of Lord Eddard Stark and First Ranger of the Night’s Watch. Benjen attended, with his siblings, the Tourney at Harrenhal. At the tournament his sister rescued their vassal, Howland Reed, from an attack by some squires. Benjen offered Reed a horse and some armor so he could challenge his attackers. During the feast he teased Lyanna when she cried for the song of the dragon prince. He also listened to a black brother, who at the feast tried to convince the gathered people to join the Night’s Watch, a plea that Benjen took to heart. During Robert’s Rebellion, Benjen was the Stark in Winterfell, but once his brother Eddard returned to Winterfell shortly after the end of the Rebellion, with an heir of his own, Benjen joins the Night’s Watch, for reasons unknown.

  1. I think he knew who Jon really was. I just re-watched some early episodes…and Benjen told Jon, they would talk when he returned…..but he did't return….just like when Ned told Jon…we will talk about your Mother when I see you again….So much is revealed when you start re-watching it.

  2. It's so interesting how Jon and Benjen or so the actors have a very similar voice. If watching for the first time without the visual it's so easy to be confused of who is speaking.

  3. Uncle Benjen, The Unsung Hero of the Night's Watch.

    Even after he is "dead", he keeps fighting for the living. No one will remember him nor recognize his deeds, he does it not for glory but because it's the right thing.
