Biography

Background

Ser Waymar Royce was the youngest son of House Royce, a noble family of the Vale of Arryn. Waymar was sent to the Wall to join the Night's Watch, where he was placed amongst the rangers due to his noble birth and skill at arms. He was killed by White Walkers while commanding a ranging north of the Wall.

In the books

Jamie as Waymar

Jamie Campbell Bower as Waymar Royce in the unaired pilot episode.

In the novels, House Royce of Runestone is distantly related to House Stark. Eighteen-year-old Waymar is a skilled warrior, trained by his castle's master-at-arms, but is untested in battle. He is arrogant and has a tendency to underrate the experience of men longer on the Wall due to their lower birth, but is not completely stupid. He is the third and youngest son of "Bronze" Yohn Royce.

Nonetheless, when the Others (as the White Walkers are known in the novels) appear he bravely attempts to fight one in single combat. However, his sword shatters as soon as it touches the crystal sword of the Other, and he is defeated and killed. When Will surveys the damage and retrieves Royce's shattered sword Royce revives as a wight, his eyes now icy blue, and murders Will.
