Brandon the Builder, also known as Bran the Builder, was a legendary figure from the Age of Heroes who is said to have founded House Stark and been the ancestor of the Kings of Winter. Works attributed to Brandon in various tales include the Wall, Winterfell, the Hightower, and Storm's End. Scholars, however, believe an ancient king's actions have been exaggerated into legend, or the reigns of multiple kings have been remembered as one through the passage of time.
