Lord Commander Jon Snow decides to re-garrison Greyguard with thirty men - ten from Castle Black, ten from the Shadow Tower and ten from King Stannis Baratheon - under the command of Janos Slynt. Slynt refuses to follow Jon's orders, the second time publicly, which leads Jon to execute him.[6]

Jon later considers Ser Alliser Thorne as Janos Slynt's replacement, but he instead orders Greyguard to be re-garrisoned with a grizzled steward from the Shadow Tower in command.[7]
