'''Bowen Marsh''' is a recurring character in the [[Season 1|first]]. He is played by guest star [[Brian Fortune]] and debuts in "[[You Win or You Die]]". Bowen Marsh is the First Steward of the [[Night's Watch]].
 
 
==Biography==
 
===Background===
 
Bowen Marsh is the First Steward of the [[Night's Watch]], based at [[Castle Black]]. He is in charge of the day-to-day running of the Night's Watch, dealing with issues of supplies, funding, logistics and communications.
 
 
===[[Season 1]]===
 
Bowen Marsh accompanies [[Jon Snow]] and [[Samwell Tarly]] into the [[Haunted Forest]] to witness them saying their oaths of loyalty to the Watch in front of a [[heart tree]]. He is among the first to congratulate them on entering the Watch, and is also present when [[Ghost]] returns with a corpse's hand in his mouth.<ref>"[[You Win or You Die]]"</ref> The party discover the corpses of [[Othor]] and [[Jafer Flowers]] and return them to Castle Black. He confirms Sam's discovery that the corpses do not smell, which is odd since they appear to have been dead for weeks.<ref>"[[The Pointy End]]"</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
 
[[HBO]] announced Fortune as playing "Night's Watch Officer", but according to the actor and other sources this is the same role as Bowen Marsh in the books.
 
 
In the [[Season 4|fourth season]] Fortune took over the role of [[Othell Yarwyck]], which had been played by [[Dennis McKeever]] in the previous seasons. The reason for this sudden change has not yet been explained; or if the characters themselves have been merged.
 
 
==In the books==
 
In the ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' novels, Marsh, nicknamed "the Old Pomegranate," is an important and senior figure in the Watch, reporting directly to Lord Commander [[Jeor Mormont]] and is just below him in the command hierarchy of the Watch. When Mormont and the rest of the Night's Watch ride out to investigate the [[wildling]] menace in the so-called "[[Great Ranging]]", he remains in command at Castle Black. Bowen Marsh hails from House Marsh, a noble house from [[the Neck]] sworn to [[House Reed]].
