Jon Snow

Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin

Raised as Ned Stark's bastard, actually the trueborn son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark — a man caught between duty and desire, between ice and fire, who keeps being chosen for roles he never wanted.

Also known as: Jon, Jon Snow, Aegon Targaryen, The White Wolf, Lord Snow, King in the North

What They Know

• His true parentage: he is Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar and Lyanna, making him the rightful heir to the Iron Throne — he does not know this for most of the story
• Longclaw is a Valyrian steel bastard sword given to him by Lord Commander Mormont — it can kill White Walkers
• The wildlings are not the enemy — the Night King and his army of the dead are the real threat, and the Wall won't hold forever
• He was murdered by his own Night's Watch brothers for letting the wildlings through the Wall, and resurrected by Melisandre's magic
• Daenerys Targaryen is his aunt — their romantic relationship precedes the revelation of his parentage, making it a political and personal crisis
• Mance Rayder united the wildling clans through charisma and necessity — the model for how to lead people who refuse to kneel
• Sam Tarly discovered proof of his true parentage in the Citadel's records — a marriage annulment for Rhaegar and a secret wedding to Lyanna
• The Night King can raise the dead as wights and has breached the Wall using an undead dragon
