Ser Walder Rivers, also known as Bastard Walder, is a knight and the eldest of Lord Walder Frey's bastards.[1] He is married to a lady of House Charlton and has two children, Walda and Aemon. Walder's personal coat of arms is a silver-grey castle on blue (the colors of House Frey reversed) beneath a red bend sinister.[1][2] Tim Plester portrays "Black Walder Rivers", a combination of Walder Rivers and Black Walder Frey, in the television adaptation Game of Thrones.
Appearance and Character
Walder is gruff, dour, and has grey hair. Though not a trueborn Frey, he is often put in positions of responsibility due to his strong reputation as a warrior.[3] He is resentful of his bastard status.[4]
History
Walder's mother died after falling from a horse.[5]
When Chett was caught for murder near Sevenstreams, Walder was sent from the Twins to judge him. Chett ended up being sent to the Wall.[6]
Recent Events

Walder commands the escort of Lothar Frey on his trip south to Riverrun where Lothar is to treat with Robb Stark.[3] Walder accompanies Lothar on his meeting with Robb outside the gates of the Twins, but is much less friendly than his half-brother.[7] During the Red Wedding, he commands the attack on the soldiers' camp.[8]
A Feast for Crows
Walder is present at the siege of Riverrun, where he has a modest tent. He participates in the heated stalemate that plagues the besieging army's command.[1] Walder informs Ser Jaime Lannister that Ser Ryman Frey was hanged by outlaws near Fairmarket and that Ser Raynald Westerling is presumed dead from the Red Wedding.[9]
