When Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly go to the haunted forest to swear their vows, Dywen is among the rangers who escort them. He is the first to notice the human hand that Ghost found.[3] Dywen accompanies Lord Commander Jeor Mormont when he goes to look at the corpses of Othor and Jafer Flowers in the haunted forest.[4]

A Clash of Kings

According to Dywen, giant bears can be found beyond the Wall. The Lord Commander Mormont doubts this.[5]

Dywen is among the great ranging, the two hundred brothers of the Night's Watch that leave Castle Black to search for the wildlings.[6] While camped out on the Fist of the First Men, Dywen senses the smell of cold, to the disbelief of his brothers with the exception of Jon, who also understands the cold as a sign of wights and the Others.[2]

A Storm of Swords

Dywen is one of those selected to die by Chett's conspirators on account of his excellent tracking abilities.[1] Before the plot can begin, however, the Fist of the First Men is attacked by wights. Dywen is among the survivors of the attack.

Once at Craster's Keep, Dywen is one of the few men that takes Samwell Tarly seriously when he tells the men he slew an Other with his dragonglass dagger. Dywen joins Dolorous Edd in making Sam and Grenn tell the Lord Commander the tale. [7]

Dywen stays loyal to the Watch during the mutiny at Craster's Keep, in which Lord Commander Mormont is slain. He is one of the few survivors of the ranging to make it all the way back to Castle Black.[8]

Dywen is one of the most outspoken rangers against the proposal to seal off the gates and other entrances of the Wall to prevent the Others and more wildlings from passing. He argues threats like Tormund Giantsbane and the Weeper would either cross the Bridge of Skulls or pass through an unseen gate, trapping the Night's Watch unnecessarily.

Quotes

No man in Castle Black knew the woods as well as Dywen did, the trees and streams, the plants that could be eaten, the ways of predator and prey.[11]
