Gilly Tarly

Lady Gilly Tarly was one of the many daughter-wives of Craster. Shortly before the Mutiny at Craster's Keep, she gave birth to a son sired by her own father. The subsequent mutiny allowed her and her newborn son to escape south with Samwell Tarly, a brother of the Night's Watch, indirectly sparing her son of being handed over to the White Walkers. After arriving at Castle Black, Gilly worked for the Night's Watch (and briefly sent to Mole's Town) and cultivated a romantic relationship with Samwell. Gilly accompanied Samwell south to Oldtown to train to be Castle Black's new Maester following the death of Aemon Targaryen, and inadvertently discovered evidence of Rhaegar Targaryen's annulment to Elia Martell and later marriage to Lyanna Stark. She went on to accompany Samwell north back to Winterfell, before being forced to flee south from the Army of the Dead. Following the Great War, Samwell was legally released from his Night's Watch vows by King Gendry I Baratheon and gained his family's seat of Horn Hill. She went on to marry Samwell shortly before giving birth to a son by him, which they named Jon Tarly.
