At the [[Wall]], [[Jon Snow]] often notices Melisandre's ruby gleaming at her throat.{{Ref|ADWD|3}}{{Ref|ADWD|10}} 

[[Rattleshirt]] wears an iron wrist cuff set with a large square-cut ruby, which Melisandre had given him. Jon sees the ruby pulse in time with Melisandre's ruby, and she tells Jon that as long as Rattleshirt wears the ruby, he is bound to her, blood and soul.{{Ref|ADWD|28}} In truth, Rattleshirt is actually [[Mance Rayder]], [[magic|glamored]] to appear as Rattleshirt via the ruby in his wrist cuff, magically enslaved to Melisandre's own. To remove the glamor and show Jon Mance's true appearance, Melisandre touches the ruby at her neck and speaks a word. The ruby in the [[wildling]]'s wrist cuff darkens, and the glamor dissipates.{{Ref|ADWD|31}} 

Melisandre remembers that when the flames were burning Rattleshirt glamoured as Mance,{{Ref|ADWD|10}} the ruby at her throat had grown so hot that she feared her own flesh might start to smoke and blacken. She is thankful that Jon delivered her from that agony when he ordered "Mance" to be shot with arrows, Rattleshirt's death causing her to shudder with relief.{{ref|ADWD|31}}
