Cregard Karstark is the Castellan of Karhold. As the only son to Lyanna Karstark and Tytos Ironsmith. Also the older brother to Alys Karstark and Alysana Karstark. He serves House Karstark with honor.

Appearance and Character
Cregard as the rough looks of the north. Showing his first man blood with his dark black hair, blue-grey eyes, and long hair. Though compare to many of his Karstark kinsmen he is the shortest being only 5'9 but no one would dare look down on him for it.

Always finding his way toward books and learning all he could. Cregard is the studious Karstark among his more martial cousins. Kind and loving toward the small folk of Karhold. Many say he was born to be Castellan of Karhold.

History
Born in Karhold in 410 AC he enjoyed a calm life with a loving father and mother. Though his uncle of the same name did spend a lot of time with Cregard because Perceon was sent to be fostered in Winterfell.

During his upbringing being taught about running a keep and maintaining the Karstark fleet. Paying great deals of attention to each lesson. Asher Karstark the current castellan took young Cregard under his wing. Warding the boy in the ways of Karhold and its people.

A New Lord
When the Four Year Winter took Lord Cregard Karstark. His son Perceon became the new lord and as Asher had past away as well. Cregard found himself named Castellan of Karhold. Which bought joy for him but he would learn Perceon was a very different Lord from his father.

During the raids from Skagaos Cregard repaired ships and kept Perceon's armies paid and well supplied. This would be a large put to the relationship between Lord and Castellan. With Cregard's helpful nature and skills to go about aiding his lord-cousin.

A Time of Wolves
Perceon's goals to make a alliance to House Stark of the Dreadfort. Lead to Cregard fearing conflict would come from House Ryswell. it was Cregard who told Perceon to just use a force of arms. Forcing the Ryswells to surrender Lyanna Stark to the Karstarks.

This just brought memories of his own late wife Sarra who past during the Four Year winter. Lesser men never understand what they have until its gone but House Ryswell wanted power from a marriage which made Cregard support Perceon's own rogue actions.

Holding Karhold
While Perceon sits on the small council. Cregard works on restoring stability to Karhold from the recent conflict with the Wildlings. Recruiting new younger men to the Karstark forces as well making plans to grow the fleet.

Having a large list from Perceon to work on. it seems Cregard only has free time to spend with his daughter but none to himself. He fears deeply like many northerners who travel south. His cousin may not return to Karhold.
