Night's Watch (The Lion and the Dragon)

The **Night's Watch**

## Notable members

### Recent Lords Commander

* Lord {Jeor Mormont}, 997th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, known as "the Old Bear." Towards the end of his tenure, he became increasingly worried as more rangers were lost beyond the Wall, including First Ranger Qhorin Halfhand. Also, there are more reports coming in of wildlings either fleeing south or gathering in large numbers to escape or meet some threat. After an attempt to investigate in force, most of the brothers who go with him are killed at the fight at the Fist. Following this staggering loss, Jeor is murdered by his own rangers during the mutiny at Craster's Keep.
* Lord Roose Bolton, 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, known as the "Leech Lord".
