Jory Cassel

Jory Cassel is a character in Game of Thrones. He is played by Jamie Sives and first appeared in the first episode.

Jory Cassel is the captain of Lord Eddard Stark's household guards at Winterfell. He is a loyal and trusted servant of House Stark and a good swordsman in his own right. He is the nephew of Ser Rodrik Cassel. He has a noticeable scar, gained at the Siege of Pyke during the Greyjoy Rebellion.

The Kingsroad
Jory accompanies Eddard south to King's Landing. During the dispute between Prince Joffrey Baratheon and Arya Stark, Eddard asks Jory to look after Arya and Sansa whilst he attends to the execution of the direwolf Lady.

Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things
Jory assists Eddard's investigation into Jon Arryn's final days, asking for the assistance of Ser Hugh of the Vale (unsuccessfully), accompanying Eddard to Tobho Mott's smithy and later reminiscing over fighting in the Greyjoy Rebellion with Ser Jaime Lannister.

The Wolf and the Lion
He accompanies Eddard to Petyr Baelish's brothel again to learn about other illegitimate children that the king may have. On leaving, Jory, Eddard and two of his guards are confronted by Jaime Lannister, who has heard of his brother Tyrion's arrest and demands his release, and a fight ensues. Jory kills several of Jaime's men before engaging Jaime himself. They engage several blows until Jaime traps his sword and stabs him through the eye-socket with a dagger.

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels Jory is the son of Martyn Cassel, one of Eddard's companions who was killed in a duel with three members of the Kingsguard at the 'tower of joy' whilst they were searching for Lyanna during the closing days of Robert's Rebellion. Jory is a skilled warrior and a stalwart servant of the house.
