Stranger (the Seven)
The Stranger is one of the seven aspects of a single deity. Believers of the Faith of the Seven consider that God is one with seven aspects, as the sept is a single building, with seven walls. [1]
About
An exception to the other aspects, the Stranger represents death and the unknown. His face is half-human, concealed beneath a hooded mantle.
Worshipers rarely seek favor from the Stranger, but outcasts sometimes associate themselves with this aspect of God.
Sandor Clegane may have named his horse after the Stranger. [2]
Recent Events

Quotes
I thought I was the Warrior and Cersei was the Maid, but all the time she was the Stranger, hiding her true face from my gaze.[3]
