Description of Eddard Stark ("Ned"):

Eddard Stark is the head of House Stark, Lord of Winterfell, and Warden of the North. Eddard has a long face and long brown hair. His closely-trimmed beard is beginning to grey, making him look older than his thirty-five years. His dark grey eyes reflect his moods, turning soft as fog or hard as stone. Eddard is shorter and less handsome than his older brother Brandon had been, according to Catelyn Stark; however, she also states that Ned has a "good sweet heart beneath his solemn face".
