== Books ==
=== A Game of Thrones ===
Ser Jaremy is present for dinner when Tyrion Lannister is entertained by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont. Jaremy and Qhorin Halfhand make sweeps north of the Wall after the disappearance of Benjen Stark. They don't find any evidence, except a couple of blazes that Benjen left to mark his way. 
Jaremy is named First Ranger during the absence of Benjen. He is present for the swearing in of the new recruits in the sept, and then when Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly and others are sworn in at the weirwood grove beyond the Wall. He is present when Ghost finds the bodies of two dead rangers, and identifies them as Othor and Jafer Flowers. Jaremy is ordered to place the bodies in the storerooms, until Maester Aemon can examine them. 
At Castle Black, the bodies reanimate, and Jafer Flowers murders five men, including Jaremy, who hacks off the dead man's head, but is stabbed in the bowels by the decapitated body.
=== A Clash of Kings ===
Thoren Smallwood believes that he is the new First Ranger, due to the disappearance of Benjen and the death of Jaremy. Lord Commander Mormont denies this, however. Thoren has taken most of Jaremy's clothes, including a House Rykker crest, as the Night's Watch don't waste anything. Ser Alliser mentions Jaremy's death before the Iron Throne in an attempt to secure support for the Watch.
=== A Storm of Swords ===
When Mance Rayder questions Jon Snow at the Fist of the First Men, He asks him who commanded the ranging, suggesting Jaremy as a possibility. Jon eventually admits that Lord Commander Mormont led the ranging himself.
