Realizing that this was how Craster protected himself from the White Walkers, Karl orders Rast to take the child out into the forest, leaving it behind. The women call for it to be given to the gods, which Karl realizes must refer to the White Walkers. One of Craster's former wives enters the Keep and presents Karl with Craster's last child, a son. Īt Craster's Keep, Karl drinks wine from the skull of Jeor Mormont, drunkenly bragging about himself and his skill as a hired killer back in King's Landing before ordering Rast to "feed the beast". Jon Snow then points out that they know about the small garrison at Castle Black and proposes that they should be killed so they won't disclose it to the wildlings. They reveal that Karl is the ringleader of the mutineers, and that they are content with staying at the keep, eating Craster's food, and raping his daughter-wives. Grenn and Edd arrive at Castle Black after escaping from their captivity at Craster's Keep. Grenn charges at Karl, who is reluctant to kill his fellow brother and ends up tackled by him.
A brutal fight ensues among the black brothers. Lord Commander Mormont threatens to have Karl executed for this, until Rast stabs Mormont in the back, visibly shocking everyone present. Craster charges against Karl with an axe but the black brother easily kills him by quickly closing the distance between them, blocking Craster's attack by grabbing the wrist of his weapon hand, and stabbing him in the throat with a dagger. įollowing the death and funeral of Bannen, as tensions between Craster and the brothers of the Watch run higher, Karl insults Craster - calling him "a daughter-fucking wildling bastard" - after the wildling demands the Watch to leave his hall and threatens to kill anyone who insults him. Along with Rast, he shows an interest in Craster's daughter-wives. When the Watch arrive at Craster's Keep seeking food and shelter, Karl is openly antagonistic towards Craster, accusing him of giving his pigs better food than them. Karl survives the fight at the Fist, and regroups with his fellow survivors as they attempt to pull back to the Wall. This style reflected his background in Flea Bottom where he fought in tight, confined spaces and had to use small, easily-concealed weapons to avoid being caught by the City Watch. His fighting style favored speed and using small, fast weapons like daggers to quickly stab and deliver killing blows. Karl was eventually arrested, and in exchange for amnesty for his crimes, he became a ranger of the Night's Watch. Karl Tanner hails from Gin Alley in Flea Bottom, King's Landing, where he was apparently revered as a legend, making a name for himself as a highly-capable enforcer, assassin, and cutthroat.
