Character

Robb Stark

Robb Stark in Game of Thrones (2011), played by Richard Madden.

The eldest Stark son, Robb is barely into adulthood when his father is taken and the North calls its banners. He's declared King in the North by lords who trust his name more than his experience, and he leads with an earnest, unpolished honor that hasn't yet been tested by real cost.

Madden plays him as a boy thrust into command who is trying to be as good a man as his father, which makes his early victories feel earned rather than inevitable. The show lets you watch competence and decency coexist uneasily with youth, so every choice he makes carries the weight of someone learning to be a king in real time.
