Daenerys isn't his only master though, as he makes frequent reports back to master schemer and eunuch, Varys, in King's Landing.
Jorah's father is Lord Commander Jeor Mormont of the Night's Watch. Though he is old, his is still a formidable presence, and struggles to keep the ragged Night's Watch as formidable as it once was. As the nobles of Westeros struggle against one another for control of the continent, Jeor Mormont and the Night's Watch prepare for a much more dangerous and crucial fight against the Wildlings of the North and the dreaded, monstrous White Walkers.
