Jojen Reed is Howland Reed's only son and Meera Reed's younger brother. Jojen has greensight, the power of prophetic dreams. He is thirteen.[1]
Characteristics
Jojen is barely an adolescent when he arrives at Winterfell, but his gravity and mature personality make him seem older.[1] He is short and slim with unusually deep green eyes, wearing green colored clothing.[2] He knows a number of arcane things that he gleans from his dreams, including the day of his death.[3]
History
In his childhood Jojen nearly died of greywater fever. While he was near death, he was visited by a Three-eyed crow that gave him the gift of greensight, causing him to experience prophetic dreams. One such dream involved a chained wolf that the three-eyed crow was trying to free from a chain. When Jojen told his father about the dream, Lord Howland sent him and his sister Meera to Winterfell.[3]
A Clash of Kings
In the middle of a Harvest Feast Jojen and his sister Meera arrive to pledge the Reeds' support to Winterfell and Robb after Eddard Stark's death.[2]. Maester Luwin tells Bran that he should meet these two warmly because Howland Reed was a great friend of his father and these are his children. Jojen asks about the Direwolves, wanting to see them and is told they are in the godswood. While at Winterfell, Jojen recognizes Bran Stark's skinchanging ability. After Meera manages to defeat Summer using a net and frog spear, Jojen tells Bran that everyone in the Castle hears him scream when he sleeps, and asks about what frightens him[3]. Bran tells them about the wolf dreams and the three-eyed crow. Jojen tells Bran that he is the Winged Wolf, that Crow sent them to free him, and that he has to open his third eye. Bran says that he has only two, and that he does not need a third eye. Later Bran attempts unsuccessfully to open the third eye. Though he never demonstrates the ability himself, Jojen helps Bran gain more discipline to use the power properly. When he learns of Bran's vision of a three-eyed crow, Jojen begins urging Bran to travel north of the Wall to find the crow[4].
Jojen dreams that sea would come to Winterfell, drowning many people. Bran tries to warn his household, but no one seems to believe him. When Theon Greyjoy takes Winterfell, Bran is lead out of his room where he meets Meera and Jojen, who have also been taken captive[5]. Later, Bran, Meera, Jojen, Rickon, Osha and Hodor fake an escape from Winterfell, returning to hide in the crypts until after the castle is sacked by Ramsay Snow. Hodor has to force the crypts' door open with his massive strength and they find the castle destroyed. They discover many of the bodies of the people Jojen saw dead in his dream. In the godswood they find Maester Luwin unconscious. They waken him and he tells them of all the enemies in all directions. Luwin advises Osha to split the Stark children. Osha decides to take Rickon with her and Jojen says that they will take Bran. After they separate, Jojen tells the others that their road is north, so he, Meera, Hodor and Bran travel north[6].
A Storm of Swords
Jojen flees with Bran, Meera, and Hodor north towards the Wall. They eventually reach the Wall at the Nightfort and meet Samwell Tarly of the Night's Watch. He leads them through a secret door at the bottom of a well that takes them through to the north side of the Wall. There they meet Coldhands, an enigmatic figure of uncertain allegiance.[7]
A Dance with Dragons
Jojen, Bran, Meera, Hodor, and Coldhands travel north of the Wall in search of the three-eyed crow.[8] They reach the cave of the three-eyed crow, but are ambushed by wights just outside the cave’s entrance. Because Jojen is too weak to continue, Meera carries him on her back. Inside the cave, the group meet the remaining Children of the Forest and the three-eyed crow.[9] Jojen falls into a resigned depression. He wants to go home to Greywater Watch. Meera implies while speaking with Bran that Jojen has had a greendream of his fate when he goes to Greywater Watch, and that the outcome is not good.[10]
