Myrtle

Myrtle is the ninth Mistress of the Keep since Craster's death in 299 AC. After rangers in 423 AC killed her mother, Janna, during a raid on Whitetree, Myrtle was confirmed by her immediate sisters as the next mistress of the Keep. She is among the many sworn vassals of the Crippled King, to whom she sends the matured men of her clan as tribute.

Known for her astute pragmatism, she has lead her extended kin to unprecedented influence in the region. Under her purview, the Keep has been partially upgraded to stone and the palisade reinforced with a ditch. Entrusted by the Crippled King to carry out his agenda with Castle Black, she has recently reestablished ties with the Night's Watch, securing a secret arrangement with Cregard Stark, an influential ranger with a powerful name, to guarantee her leverage.

Despite her lack of progeny, for which she is partially to blame, potential heirs appear to be the least of her priorities. Emboldened by her half-sister and likely successor, Dalla, her chiefest concern is seizing her clan's place in the coming order.
