Free Folk Leader Tormund Giantsbane

Tormund, often called Tormund Giantsbane, is a renowned warrior and raider among the Free Folk and one of the key leaders behind Mance Rayder. Tormund respected Mance as the King-Beyond-the-Wall and suspected he was the man to lead them through the Long Night.

Leaders need to be attached to a unit so I will place him with one of my two compulsory Free Folk Raiders when they are painted.

Plenty of little men tried to put their swords through my heart. And there’s plenty of little skeletons buried in the woods.” ―Tormund to Jon Snow

Tormund is a trusted leader in his own right of a large warband of wildlings. He has joined his forces to those of King-Beyond-the-Wall Mance Rayder, and now functions as one of Mance’s most trusted lieutenants. Tormund is not just a capable leader, but also a very dangerous fighter.

This is proven during the Battle of Castle Black, where he killed multiple Night’s Watch brothers and clearly outmatched Ser Alliser Thorne in single combat and Lord Smalljon Umber at the Battle of the Bastards. He boasts of having bedded a she-bear. Ygritte insists that everyone knows he just made this story up.

Tormund makes much of his capacity for drink and sexual encounters, usually as a means of raising his allies’ morale. He is extremely loyal to those who have fought alongside him, even Jon Snow, who once betrayed him and the wildlings. Thanks to Game of Thrones Wiki for the information.
