Jon Snow

Jon Snow is a major character in Game of Thrones. He is played by Kit Harington and debuts in the first episode of the series.

Jon Snow is the bastard son of Lord Eddard Stark. The identity of his mother is unknown and the subject of much speculation amongst the people of Winterfell. He was brought home to Winterfell by Eddard Stark and raised as his son, trained with weapons and armour. Eddard's wife, Catelyn, was deeply unhappy with this arrangement and it remains the largest source of dissent between them. Amongst his half-siblings Jon is closest to Robb and Arya.
