He idolizes his father, Eddard, but is wounded by his refusal to discuss or name his mother. He has a perceptive and observant outlook, a man who can sit quiet in a room and understand everyone else in seconds. He often displays bravery, resourcefulness and quick thinking during his time as an officer, eventually becoming a natural leader and mentor in the Night's Watch despite his youthful age. While he was close to the Stark children, Jon once stated that, as a bastard, he "grew up quicker" than them, and he is shown to be a great deal more solemn than his siblings; the experience of maturing with an illegitimate status made him bitter and with a desire to prove himself, thus, he chooses a life of hard duty in the Night's Watch to earn his own honour. Despite his sombre demeanour, however, he is compassionate towards those he views as fellow outcasts and rejects. [b]Family:[/b] Mother – Unknown - Deceased Father – Ned Stark Sister(s) – Sansa and Arya – Half Sisters Brother(s) – Robb, Bran and Rickon – Half Brothers Child(ren) – N/A [b]Short History:[/b] Life was never going to be easy for the boy that would come to be known as Jon Snow. A bastard born during a time of great upheaval, Jon arrived on the doorsteps of Winterfell nestled in the arms of Ned Stark. No mention of his mother ever made to him, his parentage has often been the talk of the Winterfell estate. With some believing that he is the son of a whore, whilst others believe him to be the son of Eddard’s sister Lyanna and a member of a rival family. The truth however has never been revealed. Jon was given the name Snow as he was not, nor ever could be a true Stark. Raised alongside, Eddard and Catelyn’s true children, Jon although never wanting for anything felt very much like an outsider. The way Catelyn would look at her children would always break his heart because he knew that no one would ever look at him like that. As he matured, it became obvious to many that Jon was desperate to strike out on his own and make his own path in the world. Leaving home at seventeen, he joined the police force as both a dedication to his father but also as a way to prove something to himself. Jon was not a Stark by name but he was one by blood and the ideals of justice ran deep within him. Upon completing his training, he started off as a beat cop patrolling the streets of Las Vegas before eventually, finding his way onto an elite squad of detectives that were nicknamed the Night’s Watch and based in an old run down building called The Wall.
