Jon Snow

Jon Snow is the bastard son of the late Lord Eddard Stark of Stormwind and is currently serving in the Night's Watch. The identity of his mother is the source of much speculation. Eddard once told Robert Baratheon that Jon's mother is a serving girl named Wylla, but refused to elaborate any further. Jon himself has no knowledge of his mother.

Jon's presence at Stormwind was the source of dissent between Eddard and his wife, Catelyn. However, Jon got on well with his half-siblings, particularly Robb and Arya.

Early History
At an early age Jon lived with his mother in a village to the north of Stormwind. The two lived a somewhat happy life, and eaked out a life in the small farming village. At the age of six his mother was injured in a work accident, and the doctors told her, and Jon that she would die soon. This knowledge was horrifying to Jon who believed he would be sent into the cold, which is the custom of such bastard children.
