Best moment: The steamy scene in the cave with Ygritte was a highlight. But we also love his moments with friend Sam Tarley when they both reveal their fears about heading over the wall into the unknown.

Best quote: "Hear my words, and bear witness to my vow: night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realm of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

Vital stats: The illegitimate son of Ned Stark, this makes Jon Sneeeerrrr a particular brooding chap of sorts. Not always great with words, and great at sacrificing his own desires for the greater good. Unfortunately, he knows nothing.
