Clarkson, Charles Tempest; Richardson, J. Hall (1889). Police!. pp.1–2. ISBN 9780824062163. OCLC 60726408. We Used to Be Friends: He, Pyp, and Grenn were seen hanging around together at their introduction and all resented Jon in the beginning. Pyp and Grenn later became True Companions with Jon, along with Sam, while Rast himself remained antagonistic. Sounds pretty intense, but if you want to know a bit more about what goes down in "The Watchers," we can look to Shine's book for a little more light. For example, the forest where Mina finds herself isn't your typical woodland clime. You can't find this place on any map, and anytime a car gets near the tree line, it breaks down. Clearly, there's something eerie happening in these woods, a fact Mina learns the hard way when she hears a woman screaming, telling her to take shelter in a nearby bunker.

Griffiths, Paul (2010). Lost Londons Change, Crime and Control in the Capital City, 1550–1660. Cambridge University Press. p.335. ISBN 978-0-521-17411-4. The Only One I Trust: Jon sends Grenn to hold the gate because if the gate is taken, everyone dies. Kit Harington suggested in an interview that Jon sends Grenn down to hold the gate against Mag the Mighty, despite knowing he was probably sending one of his closest buddies to his death, because Grenn was the only one who Jon trusted could actually do it. He was probably right. Hilariously Abusive Childhood: "I was born in a place like this (Craster's Keep). Then I fell on hard times." Only spoilers from the current season will be hidden, so beware spoilers if you're not up to date on the episodes.

In most stories, they're ghostly warriors who stride through jungles and towns alike, adorned in the brilliant costumes of ages past. In their former lives, they protected high-ranking chiefs who were so sacred that no mortal man or woman was allowed to look at them.

Gory Discretion Shot: Surprisingly, and definitely not setting the tone for the rest of the series (especially when his comrade is gorily beheaded a moment later), the scene cuts away when Waymar turns around and is slain.Watchmen were organised groups of men, usually authorised by a state, government, city, or society, to deter criminal activity and provide law enforcement as well as traditionally perform the services of public safety, fire watch, crime prevention, crime detection, and recovery of stolen goods. Watchmen have existed since earliest recorded times in various guises throughout the world and were generally succeeded by the emergence of formally organised professional policing. Put on a Bus: Though a more apt metaphor would be that he's the only one who didn't get on the bus. Pypar isn't among the party Mormont leads north of the Wall at the end of Season 1, so he's offscreen for nearly all of the next two seasons. Dual Wielding: Shown holding a sword in one hand and a double-bitted axe in the other while facing down Mag the Mighty Night watchmen patrolled the streets from 9 or 10 pm until sunrise, and were expected to examine all suspicious characters. [18] These controls continued in the late 17th century. Guarding the streets to prevent crime, to watch out for fires, and – despite the absence of a formal curfew – to ensure that suspicious and unauthorised people did not prowl around under cover of darkness was still the duty of night watch and the constables who were supposed to command them. [19]

A Fate Worse Than Death: Toyed with. Criminals may choose the Wall to keep from being executed, castrated, or mutilated. Most choose the knife. Rank Up: Appointed by Lord Commander Jon Snow to serve as First Ranger, in recognition of his valor and bravery. Pre-Mortem One-Liner: "I never liked crossbows. Take too long to load!" Sure he's quipping about his own death, but it still counts.

Lost Londons Change, Crime, and Control in the Capital City, 1550–1660. New York: Cambridge University Press. p.359. ISBN 978-0-521-17411-4. Psycho for Hire: Before becoming a member of the Night's Watch, he was a psychopath who murdered people for money; and he seems to have fond memories of that time, if his boasting about it is any indication. Odd Friendship: Considering how the other Night's Watch members view Tyrion, it's a little surprising that he and Yoren become fast friends who greatly enjoy each other's company. La'ie on Oahu was a city of refuge in ancient Hawaii, where criminals and offenders of the culture's strict aikapu religious practices were held. Even today, spirits of soldiers are said to roam the outskirts of La'ie in search of possible escapees. At Kualoa Ranch on Oahu's windward coast, Night Marchers have been spotted around an area that is said to house the remains of hundreds of Hawaiian chiefs and are said to be responsible for a good many nighttime car accidents.

Fatal Flaw: Janos relied too much on his ties with powerful friends rather than his fighting ability or office competence. Fantastic Racism: The men of the Watch, as a rule, have a low regard for the wildlings north of the Wall, and regard them as their main enemy. Even with the appearance of a southward-marching army of supernatural, undead ice-zombies, many simply cannot lay their hatred for the wildlings aside. This results in mutinies and the deaths of Lord Commanders on two separate occasions. The Dreaded: Has this reputation during his reign in Craster's Keep. He is constantly pressuring his own men to rape and brutalize Craster's wives/daughters and throwing vulgar insults at them, knowing that nobody else there matches him in combat. Screw This, I'm Outta Here: His motivation to mutiny. He doesn't stay to fight the Watch's punishment party against the mutineers, either.Action Survivor: While he is a competent fighter, his skill with a sword doesn't compare to the likes of Jon. That being said, he has managed to survive almost every major battle in the Night's Watch storyline, including the massacre at Hardhome. He is killed by wights in "The Long Night", but only because he was distracted protecting Sam. Seach[ sic] for Outstanding Barangay Tanod".
