Yoren

Yoren
Yoren is a member of the Night's Watch. He is a recruiter who travels the Kingsroad bringing back criminals and those who chose the life in exchange for regular meals (the poor, orphans, outcasts, and those running from dishonor). He is first seen traveling to the Wall with two rapers by Jon Snow. Yoren is described as having lice in his black beard.

Yoren makes friends with Tyrion Lannister who appreciates his sense of humor. They are travelling together when Tyrion is taken prisoner by Catelyn Stark at the Inn at the Crossroads Being close with Benjen Stark, Yoren quickly gets to King's Landing to advise Eddard Stark of these events. There he is introduced to Arya Stark. Lord Eddard then takes responsibility for his wife's actions which leads to confrontations with King Robert and Jaime Lannister.



Lord Eddard announces in open court that The Black Watch is recruiting members and asks the knights present if any will do honor to their House and volunteer, no one does. Yoren is then given permission to go to the dungeons of the Red Keep to find recruits. In the black cells, he finds Jaqen H'ghar, Rorge, and Biter.



Yoren is approached by Varys who tells him to be at the Sept of Baelor as Lord Eddard Stark is to be given mercy and allowed to take the Black. He is to travel back to the Wall with Yoren, but King Joffrey Baratheon supersedes this plan to order Eddard killed. Yoren sees Arya in the crowd and drags her away, cuts her hair, and offers to take her back to Winterfell.



After Arya beats up Hot Pie an orphan recruit who tries to take her sword, Yoren gives Arya a spanking. She can't sit for several days, but still comes out better than Hot pie.
