"Bran"

  "Blood for blood," not even at the peak of the chapter, (page: 400), Robb, feeling as if responsibility is held on him, Bran fears that if "the banners,"are called upon by Robb death may be eminent. Bran, enjoying the drifting snow fall, landing upon his cheeks, happy with the simplicity of life, has no mother present, and potentially a father who will die.  Robb wanting to take charge. Becoming mature, to me, it seems that he is ready for kingdom control.  Next in line; "...Lord of 'Winterfell,'..." (Page: 400), dire wolves ordered to be killed, a metaphor for the band between these siblings severed. Robb killing, (fighting), for mastery.
