Jon Snow is the bastard son of Eddard Stark. He does not know who his mother is, or was if she is dead, as Eddard has always refused to tell him. Jon has been feeling quite lonely these past few months and has been debating taking the black like his Uncle Benjen did when he was Jon's age. Which, by the way, is sixteen. Catelyn Stark, Eddard's wife, has hated Jon for as long as he can remember, which really makes his life miserable. But he loves his siblings, even if they don't get along all the time. Especially Robb and Arya, who never treat him like he is different than the rest of their siblings. Jon knows that love is never in the cards for him, as it is unheard of for bastards to marry, and he doesn't want to be involved with a woman out of wedlock as any child created through their love would be a bastard too, and that is no life for any child. Therefore, Jon wants to take the Black, and help defend the Seven Kingdoms from the evils that lurk beyond the wall.
