<P> In A Game of Thrones (1996), Ned Stark departs Winterfell with his daughters to serve King Robert Baratheon in King's Landing, while his wife Catelyn remains behind with their sons, grief - stricken over their comatose son Bran . An overwhelmed young Rickon can only follow around his oldest brother Robb, crying . Upset when Robb prepares to leave himself, Rickon hides in the crypts of Winterfell . Shortly after Ned's death in King's Landing, both Bran and Rickon share a vision of their father's spirit in the crypts . </P> <P> Following Ned's death, Rickon is largely unsupervised as Robb and Catelyn leave for war and his sisters are held captive at King's Landing in 1998's A Clash of Kings . Alone with his crippled brother Bran, Rickon develops an unruly, often violent temper . His fear and rage are reflected in Shaggydog, who turns largely feral and attacks several people before being restrained . Several times, Bran's direwolf Summer is forced to fight Shaggydog into submission . Bran and Rickon become Theon Greyjoy's hostages when Theon takes Winterfell by force . He later manages to escape and hide in the crypts below the castle with Bran, Hodor, the Reed siblings Meera and Jojen and the wildling woman Osha . After Winterfell is sacked and burned by Ramsay Bolton, the group emerges to find Winterfell in ruins, and a mortally wounded Maester Luwin tells them that Bran and Rickon need to be separated and taken into hiding . Osha flees with Rickon in her care, and the others accompany Bran . </P> <P> In A Dance with Dragons (2011), most of Westeros believes Rickon dead, but Lord Wyman Manderly hears from a survivor of the sack of Winterfell that Rickon is allegedly alive and has fled with a woman to the island of Skagos . In return for pledging his loyalty to Stannis Baratheon instead of the Lannisters, Manderly tasks Ser Davos Seaworth with retrieving Rickon from Skagos so that they may reveal him to the Northern lords and inspire them to rally against Roose Bolton, Ramsay Bolton and Walder Frey for betraying the Starks . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> (hide) <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> Descendants of
