AI-generated Jorah Mormont.
Literary portrayal; staging imagined.
Overview
Jorah Mormont inherits Bear Island after his father joins the Night’s Watch and wins knighthood during the Greyjoy rebellion. Maintaining Lynesse Hightower’s costly lifestyle drives him into debt. He sells poachers into slavery, then flees before Eddard Stark can execute him, leaving the ancestral sword Longclaw behind.
In exile he becomes a sellsword and enters the Targaryens’ service. He reports their movements to Varys in hope of a pardon, yet saves Daenerys from poisoned wine and becomes her counsellor and first Queensguard. Barristan Selmy exposes his spying; after helping seize Meereen, he is banished when Daenerys refuses to forgive the betrayal.
