Book Jon is snarky, brooding, cunning, and does not hesitate to use underhanded ways to get to his morally good goals. Case in point: In the books, Mance has a wife that gives birth to a son at the wall. Melisandre wants to feed the boy to her fires because “there’s power in king’s blood,” and Mance is known as “the king beyond the wall.” Jon proceeds to strong arm Gilly into swapping her baby with Mance’s before carting her off with Sam to Oldtown. I’m not kidding. Book analysts have nicknamed Jon’s time as Lord Commander as him being, “Tywin at the Wall.”

And throughout it all, Jon quietly broods and mopes about the shitty things he’s found himself doing in order to be an effective Lord Commander.

He is more the standard hero trope beyond his occasional brooding. But Sandor Clegane? DEFINITELY!
