Lord Commander Jeor Mormont, also known as the Old Bear, is the 997th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, [1][2][3] which he commands from his headquarters the fortress of Castle Black. Jeor, previously head of House Mormont and Lord of Bear Island, abdicated his seat in favor of his son, Ser Jorah Mormont, and joined the Night's Watch[4].
Jeor Mormont, was deeply concerned by the declining power of the Watch, and the rising threat of the wildling beyond the Wall. He gave up the regular patrols used by his preprocessor Lord Qorgyle to replace it by a more random system, varying the number of patrols and the days of their departure, to make it more difficult for the wildlings to know their comings and goings. Sometimes sending a larger force to one of the abandoned castles for a fortnight or a moon's turn as well[5]
