Mastering Jon Snow: Your Ultimate Guide to Game of Thrones Cosplay

Transform into the King in the North with Our Expert Tips for Halloween and Conventions

Dark, brooding and seldom speaking, Jon Snow is one of the most beloved characters from HBO’s Game of Thrones. Jon’s tale takes him across a journey of the entirety of Westeros, all the way from the cold desolate wasteland beyond the Wall to the ornate throne rooms of Dragon Stone and Kings Landing.

Jon’s life is shrouded in darkness, and is introduced as the bastard son of the honorable Edvard Stark to us. He was raised alongside his half-siblings in the castle of Winter fell, where he was subjected to constant demeaning by his father’s wife, Lady Catelyn. Despite such thought, he develops a fond adoration for his little sister Arya, gifting her the sword Needle.

Always sticking out as the runt of the litter amongst his family, Jon decides to call it quits and join the Night’s Watch brotherhood to carve out his own destiny, amongst criminals and other fellow bastards, all tasked with the protection of the realm from the wicked that lies ahead.

There he forms a deep friendship with the loyal Samwell Tarly and learns the ways of not just the brotherhood but also the Wildlings. Being an underdog in the truest sense, Jon remains loyal to the watch, with him eventually being crowned the Lord Commander.
