Editing Alliser Thorne (section)

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Alliser serves as the new master-at-arms of Eastwatch.{{Ref|ASOS|Appendix}} He falls in with [[Janos Slynt]],{{Ref|AWOIAF|Alliser Thorne}} who has been exiled to the Watch by Tyrion.{{Ref|ACOK|8}}

Alliser, Janos, Ser [[Glendon Hewett]], and other men from Eastwatch travel to Castle Black during the [[battle beneath the Wall]]. They accuse Jon, who has been leading the defense against the [[wildlings]] of [[Mance Rayder]], of being a turncloak and an oathbreaker, and the captive [[Rattleshirt]] verifies that Jon had killed [[Qhorin Halfhand]].{{Ref|ASOS|69}} To prove he is not a traitor, Jon is sent by Alliser to assassinate Mance in a meeting north of the Wall. The meeting is interrupted by the arrival of [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s host, however.{{Ref|ASOS|73}}

During the [[choosing]] for a new Lord Commander after [[mutiny at Craster's Keep|Jeor's death]], Alliser comes in sixth in voting on the first day and loses votes on the second day, as many black brothers resent having been trained by him. He withdraws his name and decides to support Janos.{{Ref|ASOS|75}} Alliser expects [[Othell Yarwyck]], the [[First Builder]], to support Janos as well, but a reluctant Othell shocks Alliser by instead mentioning Jon Snow, who is soon after elected as the new Lord Commander.{{Ref|ASOS|79}}
