Fan Casting Eddard Stark in A Song of Ice and Fire: My Fancast

36 years old; Eddard has a long face and long brown hair. His closely-trimmed beard is beginning to grey, making him look older than his thirty-five years. His dark grey eyes reflect his moods, turning soft as fog or hard as stone. Eddard is shorter and less handsome than his older brother Brandon had been, according to Catelyn Stark; however, she also states that Ned has a "good sweet heart beneath his solemn face". He keeps faith with the old gods.[1] He is fiercely protective of his wife and children, whom he loves deeply.
