* Lord [[Jeor Mormont]], 997th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, known as "the Old Bear." Towards the end of his tenure, he becomes increasingly worried as more rangers are lost beyond the Wall, including First Ranger Benjen Stark. Also, there are more reports coming in of wildlings either fleeing south or gathering in large numbers to escape or meet some threat. After an attempt to investigate in force, most of the brothers who go with him are killed at the [[fight at the Fist]]. Following this staggering loss, Jeor is murdered by his own rangers during the [[mutiny at Craster's Keep]].
* Lord [[Jon Snow]], 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
