Mance Rayder
Mance Rayder is the King-beyond-the-Wall in A Song of Ice and Fire, a onetime brother of the Night's Watch now gathering the free folk to a single banner, a rumor in A Game of Thrones before A Storm of Swords brings him on stage.
Beyond the Wall, one name keeps returning in the talk of the Night's Watch: Mance Rayder, the King-beyond-the-Wall. Once a sworn brother of the Watch himself, Mance forsakes his black cloak and disappears into the wild, and in the years since he has done what no chief has managed in living memory, drawing the quarrelsome free folk, the wildlings of the lands beyond the Wall, toward a single banner. To the Watch he is a deserter and a danger growing in the north; to the free folk, a king they chose for themselves. He is rumor on the cold wind, spoken of at Winterfell and Castle Black alike, before he comes on stage at last.
