  === Varamyr Sixskins ===
  Varamyr is an infamous Wildling skinchanger, nicknamed due to his controlling of five other animals (three wolves, a shadowcat and a snow bear).  He is the POV character of the prologue chapter of ''A Dance With Dragons''.  Due to his skinchanging power, he maintains control over multiple Wildling villages via terror, and even aspired to be King-Beyond-the-Wall before joining Mance Rayder.  After another skinchanger, Orell, is killed, he also assumes control of the eagle Orell leaves behind.  When Stannis attacks the Wildlings army, Melisandre uses her magic to burn Varamyr's eagle, causing him to lose control of his remaining animals.  When the Wildling army is routed, Varamyr flees north together with a small group, hiding his real identity from them.  The group eventually deserts until only the spearwife named Thistle stays.  Varamyr is stabbed by a boy when he attempts to take a squirrel-skin cloak off the dead body of the boy's mother.  While Thistle treats his wound, knowing himself is dying, he attempts to take over her body.  However, her mind fights back hard against him, and subsequent hysteria inflicted on Thistle's body attracts wights to their position to kill them both.  Before Varamyr dies, his mind wargs into his wolf One Eye.
