Gared Tuttle

Lord Commander Gared Tuttle was a former squire to House Forrester who served as the Commander of the Shadow Tower, and later the 1000th and final Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Born into a family of pig farmers, Gared was appointed as Lord Gregor Forrester's squire during the War of the Five Kings, serving him until his death during the Red Wedding. Shortly after his return to Ironrath, Gared was forced to join the Night's Watch, but after he killed fellow ranger Britt Warrick, Gared fled Castle Black beyond the Wall. He went on to lead the successfuly Search for the North Grove, for which Gared was pardoned for his crimes and reaccepted back into the Night's Watch, and stationed at the Shadow Tower. In 303 AC, Commander of the Shadow Tower Denys Mallister passed away, and Gared was elected to succeed him. Following the breaching of the Wall, he led the men of the now-encircled Shadow Tower to escape the Wall and the North, eventually meeting up with the Army of the Living in the Riverlands. In light of Eddison Tollett's death during the Fall of Winterfell, the remnants of the Night's Watch elected Gared as the 1000th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Following the Great War, Gared was released from his oath by King Gendry I Baratheon, making him the final Lord Commander before the Night Watch's dissolution. He eventually started a relationship with Sylvi, who he met during the Search for the North Grove.
