In George R.R. Martin's series, Ser Denys was a member of the Night's Watch and the commander of the Shadow Tower for 33 years, who was up for the position of Lord Commander. And the role of Ser Denys Mallister will not be recast for the TV series after Murphy's death.
Game of Thrones' executive producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff issued a statement on Murphy's passing, saying, "We will not be recasting J.J. Murphy. He was a lovely man, and the best Denys Mallister we could have hoped for. And now his watch is ended."
