History

Jory has served as Lord Eddard's captain of the guard for more than eight years.[10] Jory once brought Robb Stark, Bran Stark, and Jon Snow into the wolfswood to fish for trout in a rushing stream near Winterfell.[10] Robb and Jon have often hunted in the forest with their father and Jory.[11] The captain has also sparred in Winterfell's yard with Robb, Jon, and Theon Greyjoy.[12]
