Game of Thrones
Jon Snow
Jon Snow is the series' most conventional fantasy protagonist — the illegitimate son with a secret parentage, sent to guard a wall against a supernatural threat nobody in the capital believes in — and Martin uses that conventionality deliberately. Everyone in the political plot is playing an elaborate game for a chair, and the one character who is actually facing the existential threat cannot get anyone to listen, because his warnings sound like the parochial concerns of a distant garrison.

Who is Jon Snow?
Jon Snow is the series' most conventional fantasy protagonist — the illegitimate son with a secret parentage, sent to guard a wall against a supernatural threat nobody in the capital believes in — and Martin uses that conventionality deliberately. Everyone in the political plot is playing an elaborate game for a chair, and the one character who is actually facing the existential threat cannot get anyone to listen, because his warnings sound like the parochial concerns of a distant garrison. That structural joke is the spine of the whole series. His defining trait is a rigid sense of duty that repeatedly costs him: he is murdered by his own men for a decision that was strategically correct and politically intolerable. The direwolf Ghost, silent and white, is one of the more effective visual devices in the adaptation.

- The structural joke
- The only character facing the real threat is the one nobody in the political plot will listen to

Why Jon Snow endures
The conventional fantasy hero deliberately placed inside a series that has no time for conventional fantasy heroism, and the vehicle for its central argument about political distraction in the face of real danger.
What Jon Snow looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: The Stark direwolf in grey on white; black Night's Watch furs
The Stark direwolf sigil is the graphic and it is superb — a running grey wolf that reads at any size in one colour. Grey, white and black gives this house's apparel a colder, more restrained palette than the rest of the franchise.
The Stark direwolf sigil is an excellent one-colour mark at any size. Grey, white and black is colder and more restrained than the rest of the franchise's heraldry, which makes it read as premium. Adult sizing.
