History
Jeor, previously Lord of Bear Island, joined the Night's Watch to allow his son Jorah to take his place.[5]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Lord Commander Jeor has Jon Snow named his steward to groom him for command. When he informs Jon of his father's supposed treachery, he has him watched.
After the discovery of two missing rangers near the Wall, Lord Commander Mormont has them brought back to Castle Black for further inspection. During the night, the corpses which are actually reanimated wights, attack the men of the Night's Watch, killing several men, including Ser Jaremy Rykker. Only the timely intervention of Jon Snow and his direwolf Ghost prevent one of the wights from killing Lord Commander Mormont.
A Clash of Kings
After informing Jon of his half-brother Robb kingship, he has Jon watched again, just in case he heads south to join his brother. Deciding that it is of the utmost importance to discover where the wildlings had gone and to search for Benjen Stark, Lord Commander Mormont orders a massive ranging, taking three hundred men from the Wall and marching north. He sets his base camp on the Fist of the First Men and sends out scouting parties.
A Storm of Swords
While awaiting the return of the final scouting the Night's Watch is assaulted on the Fist of the First Men by wights. The Night's Watch is broken and Mormont orders a general retreat. They fall back to Craster's Keep where Mormont was killed by his own men during a mutiny.[6]

Lord Jeor is balding and wears a shaggy grey beard down to his chest.[7]
