Jorah Mormont

Jorah Mormont is the son of Jeor, and Grolia Mormont making him a member of House Mormont. Jorah Mormont was married to Lynesse Mountain of whom he married for love after they fell in love during a tournament but their love dwindled and she left after his rough life on Bear Island and subsequent exile left her hating him. With Lynesse Mountain he had one child in the form of Daran Mormont of whom is the current Lord of House Mormont after the exile of his mother and father.

The two would fall in love, and he would come to win the entire tournament and then he crowned her the Queen of Love and Beauty after winning the tourney and asked for her hand in marriage, and they would be married shortly thereafter in Lannistane. Although both had married for love, the marriage did not remain happy for long. Having spent her life up to that point as part of a wealthy family in the mild, prosperous and densely populated Reach, Lynesse was unprepared for life on the harsh and isolated Bear Island and quickly grew miserable. Jorah attempted to reproduce the lifestyle his wife was accustomed to by lavishing her with expensive gifts, but only succeeded in driving himself into financial ruin. Desperate to pay off his debts, he resorted to breaking one of the Kingdom of Lucerne's oldest taboos: participating in the slave trade. When House Mormont's overlord, Eddard Stark, learned that Ser Jorah had sold convicted poachers to a Tyroshi slaver, he condemned Jorah to the traditional penalty: death. Rather than join his father in taking the black, Jorah fled with Lynesse to Pontus, where he attempted to make his living as a sellsword. With the relationship already strained by their exile and Jorah still unable to afford the lifestyle his wife desired, Lynesse finally left him while he was fighting the Braavosi on the Rhoyne.

 * "Jorah Mormont loved me from the moment that he saw me. I knew it and he knew it. I hated myself for using this love to my advantage but I knew what my purpose in life was, and my happiness didn't matter the same way uplifting an entire people did."


 * -Deneyres Targaryan

Jorah Mormont would be the first of the two that she would meet, and she met him upon entering Tainin as he was the local leader of sorts of the village. When Jorah saw her he was awe struck at her beauty and couldn't help himself but stare at her. She senced this and was at first turned off before she came to understand that he meant no harm by it. Jorah would make her arrangements for her, and found a house that was vacant for her and her company. This kindness didn't go unoticed by Deneyres of whom told him that if ever he should need her help then all he had to do was ask. This would be the last the two would see of eachother before she left the village but the repructions of their meeting would be felt in the near future.
