The Wolves' Shadow (Game Of Thrones X Oc)

Cypress was a man who faithfully served House Stark as their hidden protector, always fighting and moving in their shadows but emerging in the light if needed. It earned him the title The Wolves' Shadow, as no matter where they went or how far they were, their shadow always seemed to be nearby.

His existence was known only to the Starks, for anyone else who caught sight of him would be found brutally butchered shortly after. Cypress is a man clad in heavy, dark, and impenetrable armor whose creation is known to none. He doesn't use a sword or shield; a poleaxe is his weapon of choice.

Although he is intimidating, the Stark children find him gentle and kind, having been familiar with him since their births. Whenever they speak of him openly, all dismiss it as an imaginary friend. Over time, the Stark children dubbed the silent friend they all seemed to share, Winter.

Their friend, their protector, their shadow.
