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}}

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}}
