Background: Wilhelm Stark came to be Lord of Winterfell at the beginning of the War of the Gods. When the Red Priests burned Winterfell Wilhelm carried his fathers burned body from the fire out to his family, the men gave his the title of Unburned when he himself seemed unaffected by the flames. This gave inspiration to the men of the north and Wilhelm was able to push the forces from Winterfell and the north, having to come to the aid of Seagard when the Grayjoys attacked he fought on their high walls holding back the Ironmen and their ships. Wilhelm lost his Wife, one of the daughters of Lord Arryn, in the fire of Winterfell, and because of that is how the men thing he was able to fight the fire, with a heart of pure Ice. When the war was over Wilhelm laid to rest his family in the Stark Crypt that was untouched by the fire, and he personally returned the body of his beloved back to the Vale so that she could be buried with her family. Upon return to the North he had made it clear that he did not want the north partaking in a war that did no concern them and put the North in Isolation until the ceasefire was called dealing with the Greyjoy threat.

For years Wilhelm went on as an angry cold shell of his former self he had done a lot for the north and was considered their savior however it never changed him. However upon going to one of the Dragons he met one of his friends whom he was at a wedding at, he had herd of her becoming a widow however never gave it much thought however he noticed she looked sand so he felt he could help her. That moment was the first of many of them growing into a tight relationship and for nearly a year later they are sitting on the banks of marriage soon to come. Interesting tales have occurs between the two, even the small fact that once hunting Lorraine once shot Wilhelm in the back with her arrow and she was upset with herself for weeks until he was able to calm her down.
