Olyvar sits as the head of House Bolton, he and his twin sister Bethany the only surviving members. He was the husband of Lyanna Stark.
History
Olyvar Bolton was the second born child of Lord Walton Bolton and Lady Bethany Bolton. His elder brother Eldrick was heir to the Dreadfort and from an early age had proven to be his father's favorite son. Olyvar, born after the two daughters Kyra and Barbrey, is the twin of Bethany Bolton (named after their mother). As the two babies of the family, it was their mother who they spent most of their time with. As the male twin and second born son Olyvar underwent training in how to help his elder brother rule.
At the age of ten and six, Olyvar's father had a spat with King Harys at a feast in King's Landing, and returned home to raise arms against him. MediaWiki:Badtitletext crushed the rebellion, and slew all of the Boltons except for Olyvar and Bethany, who hid in one of the many secret passages within the Dreadfort.
Recent History
First Era
Bethany and Olyvar hid in the Dreadfort's catacombs, hiding from those that stayed behind in the castle after the war. Olyvar would occassionally sneak out to steal from the kitchens, using doors and stairways that no-one but the family knew about. It was on one of these hunts for food when Olyvar overheard two soldiers talking about he and Bethany.
Learning that they were believed to be dead, Olyvar led Bethany away from The Dreadfort and south, on the roads.
Second Era
After moving place to place, never stopping for long for fear of being caught or found out, Olyvar and Bethany found themselves in White Harbour where Olyvar worked as a dock hand.
Third Era
Olyvar continued to work as a dock hand until one day when he saw Lord Jojen Stark and Ser Thaddius Lannister disembarking from their ship. With them was Thaddius' squire, who was sent on an errand. Olyvar eventually rescued the squire from danger of his own orchestration, and delivered him to the Lannister and Lord Stark, who (perhaps out of guilt for his brother's massacre, or perhaps out of fear that Olyvar would reveal the nature of his relationship with Ser Thaddius) returned to him the Dreadfort and all his house's lands and titles.
Fourth Era
After the restoration of his House, Olyvar began to rennovate the Dreadfort (which had sustained significant damage during the Uprising and following years of neglect) and reward the people who stayed loyal to his house. After incurring a slight by MediaWiki:Badtitletext at the Feast of the Purple Lion, the two houses developed a rivalry, each suspecting and seeking to prove the other guilty of the Prince's death.
Bethany Bolton was wed to Jojen Stark and Olyvar returned to the Dreadfort where he began to plot with Lord MediaWiki:Badtitletext to take on House Manderly of White Harbour.
