Jakob Mormont

Jakob Mormont is the current Lord of Bear Island and head of House Mormont. He is the eldest son and firstborn of Medrick Mormont and Jeyne Glover.

Appearance and Character
The Mormonts are renowned for being some of the hardiest people of the North, and Jakob is no exception. He has short black hair and stony jade green eyes, and sports a light beard. He often dresses in simple clothing in contrast to the extravagance most would associate with a lordly figure. Easily the most distinguishable feature, Jakob is a hulking brute of a man and almost always the largest man in the room.

As a child, Jakob was recognized to grow up to be a fine warrior; Often doing his best to avoid lessons with his father or the maester and instead train with the Master-at-Arms in the yards of Mormont Keep. During his practise, the greatsword was always favoured despite being too heavy at first, until eventually swinging it felt almost natural. After his father's death to a wildling attack launched from the Frozen Shore, Jakob became withdrawn from almost everything but his prowess with a sword. Later on in life, Jakob began to become less withdrawn and more outgoing, ready to assume his duties as Lord.
