Gandric Direson

Background
Gandric is the son of the Direwolf Chieftan, Halfnar Direson. When he was a young child, his father had united the other clans and started a war against the Starks. As the war raged on, Gandric's elder sons died, eventually leaving Gandric as the eldest remaining son. When the Stark victory arrived, they followed their tradition of adopting the enemy's eldest son to prevent more war and try to bring the two sides closer. As Gandric was adjusting to his new life, Lady Stark decided his real name was too barbaric and rebranded him as Gandric (Only the Stark family and a select other few know Gandric's true name). The Stark family grew to like Gandric, especially Ayden. The only Stark to dislike Gandric was Lady Stark, who still viewed him as a barbaric lad. The two became close friends in their early years, being nearly inseparable later on. Gandric began acting as an envoy to the Direwolf clan, negotiating as a middle man for them and the Starks. Gandric learned cultures from both the Starks and Direwolf Clan. Now he follows and advises Ayden during their journeys.
