Game of Thrones has always been a show where minor characters randomly turn up when you least expect it. Lyanna Mormont never seems to go away, even Hot Pie came back for an episode. But it’s the tiny parts that come in towards the later seasons fans usually forget. But in this case, one character went out in such a manner that fans will always remember who he was. Who is the Umber Boy? Warning: Spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8 follow.
The Umber kid is named Ned, he’s the head of his house now that Great Jon Umber died in the Battle of the Bastards. As fans may remember, in Season 7, Jon raised him up to be the head of his house and took the Umbers back into the fold.
At the beginning of the Season 8 premiere, Ned reports he needs more wagons to bring his men, and Sansa promises he will have them, and sends him home to his keep of Last Hearth, not far from where the Wall fell.
