In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Torrhen Karstark is the second son of Lord Rickard, and also joins his father and brothers, Harrion, the eldest, and Eddard, the youngest, as part of the Northern forces in the War of the Five Kings. He is named after Torrhen Stark, the King in the North at the time of the Wars of Conquest and his ancestor.
However, he's killed by Jaime during the Battle of the Whispering Wood alongside his brother Eddard as the Kingslayer attempted to cut his way through Robb Stark's personal guard (which included both brothers, among others of the Northern houses) in order to slay the young king himself.
