Eddard Stark, best known as Ned Stark, is a fictional character in George R. R. Martin’s 1996 fantasy novel A Game of Thrones and HBO’s adaptation of Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire trilogy, Game of Thrones.
Stark is the ruler of Winterfell, an old citadel on the mythical continent of Westeros. Though the character is established as the central character in the novel and the first season of the TV adaptation, a plot surprise involving Ned at the conclusion of the novel and the first season startled both book readers and TV viewers.

Stark is introduced in A Game of Thrones as the righteous and honorable patriarch of House Stark and the father of six children. He is the story’s moral compass, satisfied to stay away from courtly intrigues and uncompromising in his concept of loyalty and honor.
His surname, Stark, indicates his aversion to moral compromise, but his boundaries are increasingly pushed throughout the story.
Stark is portrayed by Sean Bean in the first season of Game of Thrones, by Sebastian Croft as a kid in the sixth season, and by Aramayo as a young adult in the sixth and seventh seasons. Aramayo was critically acclaimed for his role.
He talked about his experience in the HBO show with Variety and said, “It was Season 6, and there was so much zeitgeist around the show. So even that I was in it was a big secret. And then, obviously, what it revealed, I could never ever talk about.”
When Aramayo portrayed Stark, he was at the pivotal phase of the show — revealing the birth of Jon Snow. He revealed that it was challenging to keep the secret since many people asked him about it.
He said, “If I remember rightly, I think I had a job in between the first appearance and the second one. I usually just disappear when I work anywhere, so I just managed to avoid it as much as I could.”
Overall, he did a fantastic job portraying Stark and the younger version of Bean.
