Prince Rickon Stark
Prince Rickon Stark / Ecthelion Telcontar
Rickon Stark is Eddard and Catelyn's youngest child, only twelve years old, Rickon is a naturally aggressive and strong-willed child, much like his uncle Bran was and is regarded as a wild wolf by his father, King Eddard.
As a small child, Young Rickon was playful but temperamental and stubborn. He has a breathless laughter and fiercely tries to be like his older brothers, perceverantly training in martial practices with Rodrick Cassel, the master-at-arms of Kaer Invaerne. Like his siblings before him, when Rickon was eight, he went into the wolfswood that surrounded the woodland realm of the elven lord Thranduil and found an orphaned Direwolf pup in the forest which he brought back and adopted as his own, calling the pup Shaggydog rather than something more inspired like other direwolves, most thought he'd change it when he got older, but shaggydog seemed to stick.
