In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Gared is past fifty and has lost both ears, his left little finger and three toes to frostbite. His brother died to the frostbite while he were on duty. He has been on the Wall for over forty years. Gared dosen't like his commander Sir Waymar Royce because he flattens him. Gared has watched many insignificant lords come and go at the Wall in his past forty years as a ranger. Gared is a veteran amongst the rangers. He has over one hundred scouting missions beyond the Wall at the Haunted Forest.
Some of Gared and Will's roles have been switched around from the books; in the book it is Gared who escapes and is executed for desertion.
In the book, Theon kicks Gared's severed head and laughs. Jon disapproves of that.
