| ~ Tormund to Jon Snow. |
Tormund, also known as Tormund Giantsbane is a major charcater in the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series and its television adaptation Game of Thrones. Tormund is a wildling leader and second in command to King-Beyond-the-Wall, Mance Rayder. Tormund is initially a sworn enemy of the Night's Watch and acts as a major antagonist to the Night's Watch storyline in seasons 3 and 4. In season 5, however, Tormund becomes somewhat redeemed and acts as an anti-hero and ally to Jon Snow.
He has four sons, Toregg, Torwynd, Dryn, and Dormund, and one daughter, Munda. He lost two sons during the Battle of Castle Black: Dormund was killed by Stannis Baratheon's general, Ser Richard Horpe, while Torwynd died of his wounds a few days later beyond the Wall, raising again as a wight and being slain personally by Tormund.
Tormund is portrayed by Norwegian actor Kristofer Hivju, who also played Kenge in The Lion Guard and Connor Rhodes in The Fate of Furious.
Biography[]
In Season 3, Tormund is one of the leading wildings who climbs the Wall. He then leads the wildings in trying to kill a horse breeder for the Night's Watch in order to steal his horses. When Jon Snow refuses to kill the man, Tormund deems him an enemy. In Season 4, Tormund, along with Styr and Ygritte, leads the assault on the Wall, during which he engages Alliser Thorne in a sword fight. After the battle ends, Tormund is wounded and taken prisoner. He is last seen telling Jon to cremate Ygritte's body in the forest, saying it's what she would have wanted.

Trivia[]
- There is a theory among fans of the novels, which argues that Tormund's title "Husband of Bears" is not entirely false, but that the bear with whom Tormund slept, was not a literal bear, but a woman of House Mormont, like Maege Mormont, the so-called She-Bear and Lady of Bear Island.
