Would this be one of the cowbirds, like, for example, the cuckoo, that lays its eggs in the nests of other birds?

I brought the lady's horse unto to my lord,
Then went with him through greatest horror,
I bore a crown and seven stars,
Until at last I fell, my body marred.
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

Halbarad?
When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. Winter is almost upon us, it will be long and hard, but the North remembers and the wolves will come again.

Oft I must strive with wind and wave, Battle them both when under the sea
I feel out the bottom, a foreign land. In lying still I am strong in the strife;
If I fail in that they are stronger than I, And wrenching me loose, soon put me to rout.
They wish to capture what I must keep. I can master them both if my grip holds out,
If the rocks bring succor and lend support, Strength in the struggle. Ask me my name!

I come from lands quite near the sea,
A silver swan flies oft with me,
I was at hand when darkness died,
And when my lord was crowned.
Who am I?
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

Prince Imrahil?
Many evil things there are that your strong walls and bright swords do not stay.
You know little of the lands beyond your bounds.
Peace and freedom, do you say?
The North would have known them little but for us.

I gnaw at the tree
chips fly upwards
thegn passing by
gets one in the eye
but in war I am feirce
one stroke from me .....and you die
The frontier moves with the sun and pushes the Red Man of these wilderness forests in front of it... until one day there will be nowhere left. Then our race will be no more, or be not us.
