==Recent Events== ===''A Game of Thrones''=== [[File:Brittmartin Jorah Mormont.jpg|thumb|Jorah, by Britt Martin © Green Ronin Publishing]] Jorah is present at the feast held in [[Drogo's manse]] in [[Pentos]], where Princess [[Daenerys Targaryen]] is presented to the [[Dothraki]] ''[[khal]]''.{{Ref|AGOT|3}} Jorah enters the service of the Beggar King, [[Viserys Targaryen]], and he becomes a constant companion to the two Targaryens. During [[wedding of Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen|the wedding]] of Daenerys to [[Drogo]], Jorah gifts her a small stack of old histories and songs of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] written in the [[Common Tongue]].{{Ref|AGOT|11}} When the ''[[khalasar]]'' leaves Pentos the next day, both he and Viserys accompany them.{{Ref|AGOT|23}} Despite having sworn his sword to Viserys, Jorah's regard for Viserys is low. During the ''khalasar'''s march to [[Vaes Dothrak]], he displays more loyalty towards Daenerys.{{Ref|AGOT|23}} Jorah is secretly in the employment of [[Varys]], the [[master of whisperers]] for King [[Robert I Baratheon]]. Hoping to earn a royal pardon and return to [[Westeros]] from his exile, Jorah reports on the Targaryens' movements to [[King's Landing]]. He is quick to inform Robert about Daenerys's marriage to Drogo.{{Ref|AGOT|12}} When Daenerys becomes pregnant, Jorah informs Varys as well, resulting in Robert's decision to have Daenerys, her child, and Viserys assassinated.{{Ref|AGOT|33}} Jorah counsels Daenerys on the Dothraki way of thinking and living.{{Ref|AGOT|36}} At Vaes Dothrak, he threatens Viserys when the latter attempts to steal [[dragon egg]]s, Magister [[Illyrio Mopatis]]'s gifts to Daenerys. Jorah is given a place of respect at the feast after Daenerys eats the [[stallion heart]]. Jorah is unable to calm Viserys when the would-be king enters the hall drunk, and the knight watches as Drogo has Viserys killed with molten gold.{{Ref|AGOT|46}} Jorah accompanies Daenerys and her escort to the western market, where he insists on visiting a caravan captain alone. Illyrio has sent a letter warning that King Robert has promised a [[lord]]ship to whomever slays Viserys, Daenerys, or her child. Jorah returns to Daenerys's side just in time to confront a merchant about attempting to sell her poisoned [[wine]].{{Ref|AGOT|54}} For his role in saving Daenerys and her unborn son, Drogo allows Jorah to choose any horse from his herds, with the exception of [[Drogo's stallion|his own stallion]], and [[the silver|Daenerys's silver]]. After Jorah warns Drogo that there will be more attempts, Drogo declares he will invade the Seven Kingdoms.{{Ref|AGOT|54}} Jorah remains with the ''khalasar'' as they travel south towards [[Lhazar]]. He participates in battle when Drogo falls upon the ''khalasar'' of Khal [[Ogo]], who had just sacked a town of the [[Lhazareen]]. Daenerys orders Jorah to stop Drogo's men from raping the Lhazareen women, and although Jorah admires Daenerys’s intent, he tries to explain that she cannot save all the women.{{Ref|AGOT|61}} [[File:Dany Jorah Kneeling.jpg|thumb|350px|Jorah pledges to [[Daenerys Targaryen]], by Amok ©]] Drogo is wounded in the battle, and although [[Mirri Maz Duur]] has seen to his wound, the ''khal'' ignores the ''[[maegi]]'''s instructions, and his wound begins to fester.{{Ref|AGOT|61}}{{Ref|AGOT|64}} When Drogo falls off his horse, Jorah urges Daenerys to flee to [[Asshai]] before Drogo dies, as her child will otherwise be killed and she will be forced to join the ''[[dosh khaleen]]'' at Vaes Dothrak.{{Ref|AGOT|64}} Daenerys has Mirri perform [[blood magic]] on Drogo, which causes chaos in the ''khalasar''. Jorah duels [[Qotho]] when Drogo's [[bloodrider]] wishes to stop the ritual. Although Qotho's ''[[arakh]]'' cuts off half Jorah's ear and wounds his hip, the knight is able to kill his opponent. When Daenerys goes into labor and the midwives refuse to come, Jorah takes her into the tent, unaware that Mirri has forbidden anyone from entering.{{Ref|AGOT|64}} Daenerys's child, [[Rhaego]], is a stillborn monstrosity. When Daenerys wakes up from her fevered sleep, a weakened Jorah is unable to tell her the truth about the child, so Mirri tells her. Daenerys and Jorah believe that by carrying her into the tent during the ritual, Jorah inadvertently caused her son's death. Jorah escorts Daenerys to Drogo, revealing that his ''khalasar'' is gone and Drogo is now catatonic.{{Ref|AGOT|68}} Daenerys euthanizes her husband.{{Ref|AGOT|68}} Preparations are made for Drogo's funeral pyre, but Jorah fears that Daenerys plans to commit suicide by entering the pyre. He begs her to come with him to [[Yi Ti]], [[Qarth]], the [[Jade Sea]], and [[Asshai]]. Daenerys promises she does not intend to die with Drogo, and when she later asks the men from her ''[[khas]]'' and Jorah to swear their service to her, Jorah is the only one to do so. Daenerys promises him a dragon-forged [[Valyrian steel]] longsword and names him the first of her [[Queensguard]]. Jorah suggests selling the dragon eggs, but Daenerys has them placed upon Drogo's pyre. She has Jorah and [[Rakharo]] bind Mirri to the pyre. Jorah shouts at Daenerys when she walks into the burning pyre, which kills Mirri. When the flames have gone and the ground has cooled off the next morning, Daenerys is amidst the ashes, unhurt, with three living [[dragon]]s. Jorah wordlessly falls to his knees, while the remaining Dothraki swear Daenerys their loyalty.{{Ref|AGOT|72}} ===''A Clash of Kings''=== [[File:Vt.jpg|350px|thumb|Jorah gifts Daenerys with a peach at [[Vaes Tolorro]], by Dorota Pijewska ©]] Jorah's hip has not yet fully healed. When they arrive at [[Vaes Tolorro]], he finds a peach for Daenerys and counsels her to remain in the city for a while, until her ''khalasar'' has recovered its strength. Jorah tells Daenerys about his marriages to [[Lady Glover (wife of Jorah Mormont)|a Glover]], who died, and [[Lynesse Hightower]], who abandoned him. When Jorah mentions that she resembles Lynesse, Daenerys realizes that Jorah is in love with her.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} Daenerys tends to Jorah's wound, and it begins to heal.{{Ref|ACOK|12}} Jorah accompanies the ''khalasar'' to [[Qarth]]. He is mistrustful of the Qartheen, especially the merchant prince [[Xaro Xhoan Daxos]], the warlock [[Pyat Pree]], and the shadowbinder [[Quaithe]], and he counsels Daenerys to not linger in the city for long. Daenerys sends Jorah to the [[port of Qarth]] to learn about tidings from the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. He returns with [[Quhuru Mo]], captain of the ''[[Cinnamon Wind]]'', who tells them that King [[Robert I Baratheon]] is dead, [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]] has ascended the [[Iron Throne]], and it is rumored that Robert's brothers, [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] and [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], are going to claim the [[Iron Throne]]. A skeptical Jorah disagrees with Daenerys openly declaring her intent to take the throne herself, as she lacks an army, gold, and ships.{{Ref|ACOK|27}} Unlike Xaro, Jorah is intrigued when Daenerys dresses in the Qartheen fashion, baring a breast.{{Ref|ACOK|40}} Although Jorah warns Daenerys that she will not receive any help from the [[Pureborn]] of Qarth, she visits them anyway, taking [[Rhaegal]] with her. Jorah remains behind at Xaro's palace to guard the other two dragons, [[Drogon]] and [[Viserion]]. Upon her return, Jorah guesses that Xaro hopes to obtain a dragon by marrying Daenerys. Advising her to travel [[further east]] for safety, but not to [[Asshai]] as suggested by Quaithe, Jorah explains that [[Illyrio Mopatis]] lacks the power to seat her upon the Iron Throne. He also explains Daenerys must gain the support of some of the [[Great Houses|high lords]] of Westeros, but admits he does not know how to accomplish that.{{Ref|ACOK|40}} Daenerys sends Jorah to Pyat Pree to arrange a meeting with the [[Undying Ones]].{{Ref|ACOK|40}} Skeptical of the [[House of the Undying]], Jorah urges Daenerys to take him with her but Pyat insists she enter alone. Jorah warns Daenerys to remember [[Mirri Maz Duur]] before she enters, and remains outside of the House of the Undying until Daenerys emerges again. He kneels besides Daenerys while her [[bloodriders]] keep the warlock from attacking her.{{Ref|ACOK|48}} Jorah accompanies Daenerys to the docks of Qarth, seeking a ship to take them from Qarth following the destruction of the House of the Undying. Daenerys discusses her visions from the building and the claims of the Undying Ones. Two men, [[Belwas|Strong Belwas]] and his squire, [[Barristan Selmy|Arstan Whitebeard]], save Daenerys from a [[Sorrowful Man]]. They claim to have been sent by Illyrio to bring Daenerys back to [[Pentos]]. When Jorah remarks that Arstan is rather old to be a squire, Arstan admits to knowing Jorah, having seen him fight at [[Siege of Pyke|Pyke]] and participate in the subsequent [[tourney at Lannisport]]. Although Jorah admits Arstan looks familiar, he does not recall having met him.{{Ref|ACOK|63}} ===''A Storm of Swords''=== [[File:Beguiled Bodyguard VeronicaV Jones.png|thumb|350px|Jorah makes unwanted advances on [[Daenerys Targaryen]], by Veronica V. Jones © Fantasy Flight Games]] While ''[[Balerion (ship)|Balerion]]'' sails toward [[Pentos]], Jorah reacts with hostility when Arstan provides Daenerys with more accurate information about the [[dragon]]s once held by [[House Targaryen]] and Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]]'s fighting abilities. Jorah is also bothered by Arstan insinuating knowledge of [[Lynesse Hightower]] and the [[tourney at Lannisport]].{{ref|ASOS|8}} That night, Jorah visits Daenerys in her cabin, where he again speaks of his distrust for Arstan, Belwas, and [[Illyrio Mopatis]], claiming that Arstan does not act like a squire. Suggesting that Daenerys go to Pentos with an army, Jorah proposes they sail for [[Astapor]] in [[Slaver's Bay]], where [[Unsullied]] are trained and sold, telling her the story about the [[Three Thousand of Qohor]]. Excited by the idea of acquiring the beginnings of her own army, Daenerys agrees on the approach. However, Jorah kisses her and offers himself in marriage.{{Ref|ASOS|8}} An uncomfortable Daenerys ensures she is no longer alone with the knight,{{Ref|ASOS|23}} and she does not dream of him.{{ref|ASOS|23}} When she visits the [[Plaza of Pride]] to view the Unsullied of Astapor, Daenerys leaves Jorah on ''Balerion'', taking Arstan with her instead. Arstan is against Jorah's plan to have Daenerys buy the eunuch soldiers, and he reminds her that Jorah had been a slaver himself. When she returns to the ship, Jorah informs Daenerys that three slavers inspected her ships' trading goods. When Jorah supports purchasing the Unsullied, an angry Daenerys slaps him. When Daenerys later tells him that she refuses to shed the blood of innocents, Jorah tells her about [[Aegon's Conquest]] and the [[Sack of King's Landing]], where many women were raped. He states that the Unsullied do not rape, sack, or plunder. Regardless, Daenerys wishes to lead free men into battle who believe in her cause.{{Ref|ASOS|23}} Jorah accompanies Daenerys to the Plaza of Pride, where she strikes a deal with the [[Good Masters]]. Later, Daenerys confides in Jorah and her [[bloodriders]]. The next day, Jorah goes with Daenerys and her people to buy the Unsullied.{{Ref|ASOS|27}} She frees the eunuchs during the [[fall of Astapor]], asking them to join her by their own choice, and ordering those who do so to chose officers from among themselves. [[Grey Worm]], who is chosen for the highest rank, is trained by Jorah, who finds him promising.{{Ref|ASOS|42}} Jorah urges Daenerys to abandon the freedmen who have followed her from Astapor, but Daenerys finds herself unable to do so.{{Ref|ASOS|42}} At [[Yunkai]], Jorah states his belief that the army of the Yellow City can easily be defeated by Daenerys's forces. He is present for each of the three meetings with the captains of the [[free company|free companies]] and the [[Wise Masters]], and for once agrees with Arstan when the latter argues [[Mero]], the captain of the [[Second Sons]], is not to be trusted. When Daenerys tells her council of her plans, Jorah approves. He later brings [[Daario Naharis]] of the [[Stormcrows]], who was caught sneaking into the camp, to Daenerys, and counsels against using the Stormcrows in battle against Yunkai after Daario declares the loyalty of the company. Jorah leaves hurt when his queen insists she does not desire him.{{Ref|ASOS|42}} Jorah leads Daenerys's Unsullied in the [[battle near Yunkai]], and later brings her word of their victory. He sends men to hunt Mero, who has escaped captivity.{{ref|ASOS|42}} Jorah follows Daenerys to [[Meereen]], unhappy with the large number of freed slaves that follow Daenerys, calling them "mouths with feet". He does not believe they have to fight the "hero of Meereen", and calls the victory "hollow". He advises Daenerys to leave Meereen be, as they see no way to enter the city or starve the city out, and march for Pentos instead. He admits that in that scenario, Daenerys will be unable to feed the freed slaves who have decided to follow her, and Daenerys refuses to let that happen.{{Ref|ASOS|57}} [[File:Darek Zabrocki Ser Jorah Mormont.JPG|thumb|350px|Jorah, by Darek Zabrocki © Fantasy Flight Games]] When Arstan Whitebeard saves Daenerys from Mero, Daenerys angrily accuses Jorah of not informing her of Mero's escape. Upon learning that Arstan, an old man with a wooden staff, managed to kill Mero, Jorah becomes suspicious once again. Arstan reveals he is actually Ser [[Barristan Selmy]], formerly [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]] for [[Robert I Baratheon]], and he tells Daenerys that someone has been informing on her since the day she married [[Drogo]]. Jorah admits that he had spied on her and [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]], but had stopped when he fell in love with her. Angrily, Daenerys sends them with Belwas and twenty men into the sewers of Meereen to take the city for her.{{Ref|ASOS|57}} Jorah kills a great pale lizard during the mission.{{ref|ASOS|71}} Although Daenerys half hopes that Jorah and Arstan will die, they are successful in freeing Meereen's slaves, granting her victory in the [[siege of Meereen]]. The thought of Jorah makes Daenerys feel angry, agitated, and sick, but she summons him and Arstan nonetheless. Although shamed, Jorah refuses to beg for forgiveness and instead insists Daenerys forgive him on account of his loyal service and love to her. Although Daenerys had planned to forgive him, she finds herself unable to, realizing it had been Jorah who had informed King Robert of her pregnancy. Instead, she banishes Jorah from Meereen, swearing to kill him if she ever sees him again.{{Ref|ASOS|71}} When he lies dying during the [[mutiny at Craster's Keep]], [[Jeor Mormont]], [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch]], asks [[Samwell Tarly]] to tell his son that his dying wish is for Jorah to [[Night's Watch|take the black]].{{Ref|ASOS|33}} ===''A Dance with Dragons''=== Recalling the prophecies of the [[Undying Ones]], [[Daenerys Targaryen]], Queen of [[Meereen]], thinks of Jorah as one of her three betrayers.{{ref|ADWD|2}} At a brothel in [[Selhorys]], Jorah hires a [[silver-haired whore]]. He recognizes [[Tyrion Lannister]] when the dwarf comes down the stairs of the brothel cartwheeling, and takes him prisoner, planning to deliver him to Daenerys.{{Ref|ADWD|22}} Jorah travels with his captive on horseback to [[Volantis]], where they overhear the [[red priest]] [[Benerro]] preach that Daenerys will come and free them. Jorah sells his horse and saddle, and buys manacles for his captive, to make him seem like a slave. He rents a room in the [[Merchant's House]], where he chains Tyrion to the wall. Although Jorah had not given Tyrion his name, the dwarf figures it out for himself, and reveals [[Varys]] had sent him on his journey from [[Pentos]]. Jorah, admitting he accepted gold from Varys once, insists his loyalties lie elsewhere now. Jorah takes Tyrion with him when he visits the [[widow of the waterfront]] in search for a passage to Meereen, but the widow declares she does not trust Jorah, and tells him to go elsewhere. When he is about to leave, Tyrion is attacked by [[Penny]], a female dwarf who blames him for the death of her brother, [[Oppo]]. Jorah intervenes, disarming Penny, but this earns him more scorn from the widow, as [[knight]]s are supposed to defend the weak. However, Penny's attack changes the widow's mind on giving aid. She tells Tyrion to be on the ''[[Selaesori Qhoran]]'' when it sets sail for [[Qarth]]. While Tyrion respectfully expresses gratitude, Jorah expresses doubt, but the widow insists Benerro has foreseen that the ship will never reach its intended destination.{{Ref|ADWD|27}} [[File:Ser jorah the sellsword by mike hallstein-dajeg2i.png|thumb|350px|Jorah, branded with a demon's mask after being enslaved, by Mike Hallstein ©]] Jorah and Tyrion share a small cabin on the ''Selaesori Qhoran''. Because Tyrion insists they cannot leave Penny in Volantis, they bring her with them on the ship. However, Jorah makes it clear to Tyrion that Penny is Tyrion's responsibility. During the first storm, a drunken Jorah ends up in a pool of his own vomit.{{ref|ADWD|33}} After the ship is stranded due to a lack of wind for twelve days, Jorah warns Tyrion to tell Penny to keep the door of her cabin locked, as he suspects that some crew members might soon attempt to steal [[Pretty Pig|her pig]] to eat. Jorah mocks Tyrion for mock jousting with Penny for entertainment, but grows angry when Tyrion guesses that Jorah was sent away by Daenerys. Jorah punches Tyrion and tells him to find another place to sleep. The ship encounters another, fiercer storm, during which several crew members are lost or mortally wounded. Jorah claims to Tyrion that he slept through it, which Tyrion doubts. Following the storm, they are stranded once more for nineteen days, until a distant ship appears which Jorah identifies as a slaver.{{ref|ADWD|40}} Jorah kills three slavers with his sword, but is eventually overwhelmed.{{Ref|ADWD|47}} He is chained to an oar, beaten, whipped, starved, and branded with a demon's mask on his right cheek to mark him as a dangerous and disobedient slave.{{Ref|ADWD|47}}{{ref|ADWD|66}} Jorah remains defiant of his captors until he learns of Daenerys's marriage to [[Hizdahr zo Loraq]], then all the fight goes out of him.{{Ref|ADWD|47}} The slaver takes the captives taken on the ''Selaesori Qhoran'' to the slave market the [[Yunkai'i]] have created during the [[second siege of Meereen]]. Jorah is placed on the auction block after Tyrion and Penny have been sold to [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]]. Not knowing why, Tyrion lies and convinces his overseer, [[Nurse]], that Jorah is part of their act, playing the bear who attacks Penny, "[[The Bear and the Maiden Fair|the maiden fair]]", while Tyrion is the knight who saves her. Jorah is bought by Yezzan as well,{{Ref|ADWD|47}} but he does not adapt well in Yezzan's ownership either.{{Ref|ADWD|57}} He is sullen and uncooperative in the mummery acts with Tyrion and Penny, and mostly ignores any commands given by Nurse or replies with curses. As a result, Jorah is confined in a cage and frequently beaten.{{Ref|ADWD|57}} When Yezzan is stricken with the [[pale mare]], Jorah, Tyrion, and Penny are send to fetch water for their master. However, Tyrion leads them into the camp of the [[Second Sons]] to [[Ben Plumm]], the company's captain. As Jorah's face has become unrecognizable, Plumm and his serjeants recognize him by his voice.{{Ref|ADWD|57}} Although they are surprised that Jorah has returned to Meereen despite his exile,{{Ref|ADWD|57}} they allow him to sign a contract with the company, removing his chains.{{Ref|ADWD|66}} Having fled from [[Daznak's Pit]] atop [[Drogon]],{{ref|ADWD|50}} a hallucinating Daenerys has a vision of Jorah while in the [[Dothraki sea]]. The shadow Jorah reminds her she is the [[House Targaryen|blood of the dragon]].{{ref|ADWD|71}} ===''The Winds of Winter''=== {{Warning/twow}} Jorah and Tyrion agree that the Second Sons need to go over to [[Meereen]]'s side, before [[Daenerys Targaryen]] returns to the city. When [[Ben Plumm]] summons his captains, Jorah is called to his tent as well. A Yunkish messenger, sent by [[Morghaz zo Zherzyn]], commands the [[Second Sons]] to attack Daenerys's [[Unsullied]], but Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] leads an attack from the city against the Yunkai'i. When the messenger recognizes Tyrion and demands him to be handed over for punishment, Jorah kills him.{{ref|twow||[[Tyrion II (The Winds of Winter)|Tyrion II]]}}
