bullet::::- walder frey (seasons 1, 3, 6–7) portrayed by david bradley. lord walder frey, nicknamed the "late lord frey", is the head of house frey, lord of the crossing and bannerman to house tully. he is known for outliving his many wives (now on his 8th) and siring over 100 children (both bastard and trueborn). because the use of the twins became a strategic necessity for robb's host, walder was able to negotiate marriage contracts for his children to robb and arya stark. but during season 2 robb broke his word and married lady talisa. for this slight, and willing to take advantage of the war's changing fortunes, he conspires with tywin lannister and roose bolton to betray robb stark at the wedding of his liege edmure tully, which he insists in return for support of his men. frey hosts the infamous "red wedding" at which robb stark, his wife and mother are all murdered, refusing to spare robb even as catelyn holds lady frey hostage and threatens to slit her throat, which she does. he is subsequently granted riverrun and its lands (though the title lord paramount of the riverlands passes to harrenhal and house baelish) and expresses delight to take another young wife, but his house is irredeemably tarnished by the betrayal and house tully's vassals refuse to submit to his rule. in season 6, he is outraged when he hears of the blackfish recapture' of riverrun and blames his sons lothar and black walder for allowing him to escape. he then orders them to retake the castle using edmure tully as a hostage. though they successfully retake riverrun with the help of a lannister host led by jaime lannister, walder is ambushed shortly afterwards by arya stark, who slits his throat in revenge for the red wedding. in season 7, arya uses walder's face to deceive and poison the rest of his family.
