Tell your uncle... tell him 'the North Grove must never be lost'. Tell only him, do you understand?
— Gregor's last request to Gared Tuttle.

Lord Gregor Forrester is the first head of House Forrester seen in Game Of Thrones. He was married to Elissa Forrester and had eight children—Rodrik, Asher, Mira, Talia, Ethan and Ryon with his wife, and two bastards, Elsera and Josera Snow, with an unnamed woman.

Personality[]

Gregor Forrester liked to interact with and respected even those below his station, for example joking with his men and rewarding Gared Tuttle's hard work as his squire by promoting him. Gregor also intensely cares for those under his command, as shown by him repeatedly saving Gared during the Red Wedding and ordering him to leave him behind when he was gravely wounded.

History[]

As a youth, Gregor famously arm-wrestled Galbert Glover for the privilege of becoming the man's squire. Glover later joked that it was the luckiest defeat of his life, for Gregor was a talented warrior. After Gregor's father died at the Trident, Gregor ascended to the lordship, marrying Lady Elissa Branfield, a daughter of Southron Targaryen loyalists, at the behest of King Robert Baratheon. She bore him six healthy children: Rodrik, Asher, Mira, Talia, Ethan and Ryon, though Gregor was forced to send his second son, Asher, into exile after he fell in love with Gwyn Whitehill, the eldest daughter of Gregor's bitter rival. Gregor privately named that event as his life's only true regret.

He agreed to make Gared Tuttle his personal squire after the boy was recommended to him by is uncle Duncan Tuttle, and was left impressed by his years of loyal service. Gregor answered King Robb Stark's call for joining the war against House Lannister and took part in the Battle of the Whispering Wood where the Kingslayer Jaime Lannister was captured.

Game Of Thrones[]

"Iron From Ice"[]

Gregor is first seen in the camp of House Forrester at the Twins, the stronghold of House Frey, during the celebration of the wedding of Robb Stark's uncle Edmure Tully and Roselyn Frey. After coming out of his tent, he takes part in mocking Norren's boasting about him helping in the capture of Jaime Lannister.

When his squire Gared Tuttle tries to pour him some wine, Gregor states that he will do it himself and pours it for everyone around him before they celebrate their victory. He also announces that House Forrester had been given the honor to ride as the vanguard of House Stark's army in the planned assault on Casterly Rock. Soon Gregor tells Gared to come walk with him and asks him to find Rodrik so he doesn't get hurt in case he is drunk. He also decides to reward Gared by promoting him to a soldier of House Forrester and letting him accompany Rodrick in the vanguard.

The soldiers of House Frey however soon start attacking the Stark army. Gregor along with Norren manages to kill many of the attackers but gets speared in his side. After dealing with attackers around them, Gregor talks to Gared and assumes that Rodrik has died. He then tells Gared to arm himself and saves him from being killed by a Frey soldier. After Gregor gets shot in the shoulder with an arrow, Norren tells him to run away along with Gared.

Gregor however fails to make it far while trying to flee and orders Gared to leave without him, handing him his greatsword so he takes it back to Ironrath. He also tells him to inform his uncle Duncan that the "North Grove must never be lost". Thw pursuing Frey soldiers however soon spots them and Gregor tells Gared to leave while he fights him. Although he is slain, this allows Gared to escape.

"The Lost Lords"[]

Gregor's corpse appears in this episode. Gregor is cremated from an Ironwood pyre during a funeral ceremony that he shares with his son Ethan.

"The Sword in the Darkness"[]

When Duncan visits the Wall, he tells Gared that Gregor's journals speak of the North Grove as if the old Lord had been there himself. He says that it was a borderline obsession.

"Sons of Winter"[]

Gregor is mentioned by Ludd Whitehill, who says that Gregor, admiring its architecture, once named Highpoint "a keep for the Gods". This suggests that Gregor was on good terms with Ludd when he visited.

"The Ice Dragon"[]

Gregor is mentioned numerous times in this episode by both Gared and Gregor's twin bastards, Josera and Elsera.

Killed Victims[]

  • Numerous Lannister soldiers
  • Numerous Frey soldiers

Death[]

Killed By[]

After escaping from the battle with Gared. Gregor falls to his knees from exhaustion, after realising that he is going to bleed out and that he won't make it very far. He gives Gared Ironrath lord sword and his message to Duncan and tells him to get to Ironrath. Two Frey soldiers begin to follow Gared and Gregor and so Gregor decides to hold them off in his last dying breath so Gared can escape. He grabs one of his enemy's swords and is about to swing his axe at him, but the second Frey soldier plunges his sword through Lord Forrester's back, killing him instantly.

Relationships[]

It is assumed that Gregor has strong positive relationships with all of his family and house members.

Gared Tuttle[]

Gregor had a positive relationship with Gared. He trusted Gared when he gave him the mission to tell Duncan Tuttle the phrase "The North Grove must never be lost", phrase that nobody except him and Duncan knew.

Lady Elissa Forrester[]

Lord Gregor was always kind to his wife. Although Lady Elissa didn't trust Gregor at first, after some time, she realized that he was always kind and respectful, and they began to have a positive and closer relationship.

Rodrik Forrester[]

Rodrik and Gregor are assumed to have had a good relationship. As Rodrik was the firstborn, he was to be trained by Gregor for the position of lordship. It may be possible that Rodrik was the child with which Gregor spent the most time.

Asher Forrester[]

Asher and Gregor had a good but rocky relationship, especially leading up to Asher's exile. Asher and Gregor would often fight, which gradually strained their relationship over time.

Mira Forrester[]

Mira and Gregor had a good relationship, though Mira may have had spent more time with her mother, according to the Forrester family portrait.

Ethan Forrester[]

Ethan and Gregor had a good relationship, though Gregor did not teach Ethan much about being Lord of the House, since he most likely assumed that Ethan would never have to take up the mantle.

Talia Forrester[]

Gregor and Talia likely had a strong bond, but little is known of their relationship. Depending on your choices in Episode 1, Talia could focus her funeral song more on Gregor, showing respect for her father.

Ryon Forrester[]

Ryon and Gregor had a good relationship. However, they may not have seen much of each other, as Gregor was likely focused on raising Rodrik to be a good lord and then went off to war.
