** Ser Mors Westford is a noble [[BeastMaster skinchanger]] more concerned with upholding his duties as a Sworn Brother than others are. However, Mors is a much more brutal character than Jon Snow ever was, and has lived a much fuller life. Personality-wise, he has much more in common with Ned Stark, whose sense of honor regularly causes suffering for himself [[spoiler: and his family.]]

** BeastMaster: Mors [[TheMasquerade insists]] he's just very good with dogs, but it's obvious to the player he's actually possessing his hound. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as skinchanging is considered to be primarily a wildling ability InUniverse and he does work for [[WitchHunt the Night's Watch]]. This doesn't make people fear him any less.

** Varys, amusingly enough, has much in common with [[spoiler: Lemony Snickett. He narrates the story, despite being a major character. At one point, he breaks the fourth wall to ask the player to make a choice. In the last scene, he refers to the game's plot as a sad tale.]] He's still [[MagnificentBastard Varys]] though.

* {{Badass}}: Many characters, especially Mors, who regularly fights off small armies singlehandely. Alester is equally badass, but is more likely to sneak through and rely on armed support.

** Valarr should probably have been smothered at birh, but there's no denying he's a force of nature on the battlefield.



* TheButcher: A rare heroic version. Mors's Ax-Crazy tendencies and overall BadAss reputation have earned him this title.

Both even become heavily involved in pro-Targaryen conspiracies. Connington's armor can even be bought from Alester's personal steward.
