Biography

Background

This giant lives among the Free Folk far North of the Wall and is a member of Mance Rayder's army.

Season 3

The giant in Mance Rayder's camp

While approaching the camp of the Free Folk in Skirling Pass, Jon Snow witnesses this giant building a tent from the bones and tusks of a mammoth. As Jon stares at the giant in disbelief, Ygritte warns him that giants are shy, but quick to anger and tells him how she once witnessed a giant smash a man into the ground like a hammer to a nail. This giant catches Jon gawking at him and grunts in annoyance.

Season 4

During the Battle of Castle Black this giant emerges from the Haunted Forest with the other members of Mance Rayder's army. He escorts his fellow giant Mag Mar Tun Doh Weg, who rides atop a mammoth, to the outer gate of the Wall. While a wildling bowman fails to reach the black brothers on top of the Wall with his arrow, the giant crouches next to him, draws a massive bow and shoots a javelin-sized arrow at the men atop the Wall, destroying one of their defenses. His next arrow hits a brother with such force it causes him to fly off the other side of the wall and land in the courtyard of Castle Black.

The Giant takes aim with a massive bow.

This giant violently pulls the outer gate apart, exposing its inner supports and hooks several large chains to them, which in turn are attached to Mag's mammoth. As the mammoth attempts to pull the gate open, men of the Night's Watch throw down flaming barrels of tar, which explode, burning the mammoth and causing it to run away in fear. The giant chases after it, bringing him within firing range of a large ballista mounted atop the Wall. The ballista fires and a massive bolt impales him from behind, killing him. His sudden death enrages Mag and spurs him to lift the outer gate open with only his bare hands to confront the men within.
