Rickon Stark

Maester Rickon, or Rickon Stark, is Lord Torrhen Stark’s youngest son and Lady Alysanne Stark’s only surviving brother. He is a maester of the Citdael, where he currently studies and resides.

Appearance & Character
Rickon is noticeably thin, with sharp and bony features. He has short brown hair, inquisitive brown eyes, and a pointed chin.

An erudite since childhood, he is among the youngest men in history to join the ranks of the Citadel. He has a love for books and a fondness for the outdoors, and can often be found reading in the nearby countryside.

History
Rickon was born in 392 AC to Lord Torrhen Stark and Lady Dawn Reed. From the day he could walk, he was an aloof and explorative child. He often explored the Dreadfort and the surrounding countryside unaccompanied, prompting hundreds of searches for him over the course of his entire childhood.

He was instrumental in the discovery of his lost brother, Eddard, during the Scarlet Winter. Unfortunately, neitheir Rickon nor the Maester could save Eddard from his severe frostbite. His passing motivated Rickon to delve deep into the mysteries of medicine and illness.

After his older brother, Cregard, inherited the Dreadfort in the wake of their father’s passing, Rickon was sent to the Citadel to one day become a Maester. It had been his dream to study at the Citdael, and so he went without complaint despite being disinherited. The same day of his departure, Cregard was slain by Lord Jakob Mormont. The news only reached Rickon after he had arrived at Oldtown.

Though he had the choice to return home and claim the Dreadfort, he decided to remain at the Citadel and move on from his home’s tragic past. He studied for six years at the Citadel and excelled beyond his peers and even his superiors. In 416 AC, at the age of 22, he became among the youngest maesters in history to join the ranks of the Citadel. Of the many fields he mastered, medicine was the foremost, as evidence by his two silver chain links.
