History
Ulmer was once an outlaw and member of the Kingswood Brotherhood. Ulmer claims he once put an arrow through the hand of Lord Commander Gerold Hightower, the White Bull, in order to steal a kiss from a Dornish princess - most likely Elia Martell. He also stole her jewels and a chest of coins.[1] Ulmer helped Wenda the White Fawn burn her mark in the buttocks of her highborn captives, such as Merrett Frey.[2] After the destruction of the Brotherhood, he was sent to the Wall, and is presumably the last survivor of the disbanded organization.
