Biography

Groundwork

Ser Alliser Thorne is a member of the Night'south Watch. He is from House Thorne, a noble firm of the Crownlands sworn to the Iron Throne. He fought on House Targaryen's side during Robert'southward Rebellion, which ended in their defeat. Like many other Targaryen loyalists, the victorious rebels subsequently gave him a choice between execution or joining the Night'southward Lookout man. He chose the latter.

During the final winter, Thorne and his ranger companions were trapped in a massive winter tempest and had to resort to cannibalism to survive.[1] Through seventeen years of able service, Thorne rose through the ranks of the officers in the Nighttime's Watch to go the master-of-arms at Castle Blackness, responsible for training new recruits - a job he takes no joy in, as most recruits in recent generations tend to be footling criminals sent to the Wall every bit punishment.

Season ane

Alliser mocks Jon.

Thorne sets Jon Snow confronting his fellow recruits Rast, Pypar and Grenn, and mockingly refers to Jon equally "Lord Snow". Jon beats the other recruits easily, due to his previous training at Winterfell, but is unaware that Thorne, who despises Eddard Stark for the part he played in Robert's Rebellion, is making him unpopular by emphasizing his superiority. Tyrion Lannister advises Jon to accept into account the less privileged upbringing of the other recruits and suggests that Jon could befriend them by sharing his skills.[2]

Thorne instructs Rast.

Later, Thorne is disgusted by the obesity and softness of new recruit Samwell Tarly, nicknaming him "Lord Piggy". He has Rast shell Sam when he will non fight dorsum. Jon convinces the others to refuse to hurt Sam, but when they practice, Thorne sees through the ruse and berates Jon. Thorne after confronts Jon and Sam, revealing that he once had to cannibalize the frozen remains of his comrades to avoid starvation during a ranging beyond the Wall in a specially cold wintertime. He berates Jon and Sam for their softness, and warns Jon that his "protection" of Sam from the harsh training that he needs volition eventually become him killed.[1]

Thorne is pleased when Jon is fabricated a steward, since Jon had hoped to become a ranger like his uncle Benjen Stark. Lord Commander Jeor Mormont takes Jon as his personal steward. Jon believes that Thorne played a mitt in him becoming a steward as revenge for defying him, but Sam convinces Jon that this ways that Jon will exist privy to the inner workings of the Dark'south Watch command structure, and that the Lord Commander may actually want to groom Jon for a high position inside the Spotter.[iii]

Afterward Eddard is (falsely) arrested equally a traitor, Thorne taunts Jon and calls him "not but a bounder, but a traitor'southward bounder". Jon draws a pocketknife and attempts to strike Thorne just is restrained and punished by being restricted to his quarters.[4] Later, the Lord Commander sends Thorne to King'due south Landing with the frozen paw of one of the wights to warn Male monarch Joffrey Baratheon and the royal court of the render of the White Walkers. He notes that function of his decision was to keep Jon and Thorne separated for a time.[5]

Season 4

Alliser questions Jon following his return to Castle Blackness.

Upon his render to the Wall, Thorne has been declared the Acting Lord Commander of the Nighttime'due south Watch. He is ane of the five black brothers to "judge" Jon for his deportment during his fourth dimension with the wildlings. Jon hides aught of his actions, neither his murder of Qhorin nor his affair with Ygritte. Thorne disbelieves Jon's claim that the Halfhand wanted to die, but Jon counters that if Thorne was as close to Qhorin as he claims, he would know the fallen brother would have done anything to protect the Wall. Maester Aemon defends Jon on the other charge, pointing out that he isn't the commencement to have broken his vow of celibacy. Thorne points out that Jon hasn't simply visited the whorehouse in Mole's Town: he has quite literally slept with the enemy.

Jon counters with all the information that he had learned while among the wildlings, such equally Mance Rayder'southward strategy of attacking the Wall from the North and the Due south, and demands that they either impale him or let him go. Aemon tells him that they have no intention of executing him and Jon leaves. Thorne reprimands Aemon for having overruled him but Aemon wryly replies that he can tell who is lying to him, since he grew up in King's Landing.[half-dozen]

Alliser and Jon discuss the wildlings.

Thorne is present when a young boy, Olly, tells the Night's Lookout how a wildling raiding political party massacred his village. Most black brothers want to seek revenge and ship the wildlings a message, simply Jon and Thorne know better: that is exactly what the wildlings want, to draw them out of Castle Black and fight them in the open. The black brothers are interrupted by two rangers returning, Grenn and Eddison Tollett, who have escaped the mutineers holed up at Craster's Continue. Upon learning that the mutineers are all the same at Craster's Go on, Jon claims that they must be captured or killed. Thorne initially refuses, but Jon claims that it is to end the mutineers from revealing the truth of the Nighttime's Lookout's defenses to Mance Rayder'southward army if they are attacked, since Jon has previously exaggerated to Mance. Thorne has also given Sam a new derogatory nickname: "Sam the Slayer", disbelieving his claim that he killed a White Walker with a dragonglass dagger.[vii]

Thorne later berates Jon when he sees him helping Grenn train recruits because he is a steward, and non a ranger. Janos Slynt warns Thorne that since Jon is popular amongst the Dark'southward Watch, this will give him an edge over him when a new Lord Commander is elected. Slynt suggests sanctioning Jon's expedition to Craster's Go along and then the mutineers may kill Jon, although Thorne merely walks off after Slynt'southward proffer. Later on, Thorne sanctions Jon'south mission to Craster's Keep, but tells him that he can only take volunteers with him. However, after an impassioned oral communication by Jon, a number of blackness brothers volunteer to go and bargain with the mutineers.[viii]

Jon survives the mission and returns to Castle Black unharmed, to Thorne and Slynt's disappointment. When Thorne catches sight of Jon's direwolf, Ghost, he orders Jon to lock up his 'wild beast' or Ghost will become food for the Watch. Later at the meeting, Jon warns the Night'south Watch about the impending attack of Mance's army and suggests the tunnel to be sealed to prevent giants from bringing it downwardly and exposing the wall. However, Thorne rubbishes the claim and asks the First Builder, Othell Yarwyck, for his opinion. Yarwyck agrees with Thorne, though he has obviously been intimidated by Thorne'south tone of phonation. He also sends Jon and Sam to keep a sentry in the night to look out for Mance's army.[ix]

Thorne surmises his opinions on Jon.

When the wildling army arrives, Thorne watches from atop the Wall with Jon, noting "the biggest burn down the North has e'er seen" and the presence of giants and mammoths. He ruefully admits they should have sealed the tunnel as Jon advised. In a moment of compassion, Thorne goes on to explain the pressures and responsibilities of leadership to Jon, simply promises him that if they fight as hard every bit they tin can, they will survive the night.

Thorne commands the defense force atop the Wall.

After ordering the showtime volley of arrow attacks against the main wildling regular army, Thorne is called to bring reinforcements below to Castle Black, where the smaller wildling strength south of the Wall is attacking the lightly-defended fortress. Thorne leaves control atop the Wall to the inexperienced Slynt (who is promptly tricked into going below besides, leaving command on the Wall to Jon) and returns to the castle. As the wildlings brainstorm to alienation Castle Black'southward walls, Thorne gives an inspiring oral communication, promising that Castle Black and the Night's Watch volition still stand at daybreak, and rallies his men, personally leading the counter-charge. Thorne manages to kill several wildlings before he confronts Tormund Giantsbane on the catwalks. They duel evenly for a time, just Tormund finally manages to wound Thorne, who escapes by rolling off the catwalk and falling onto a hay-bale below. The wounded Thorne is then carried to safety past 2 members of the Night's Lookout, while screaming at the remaining men fighting to agree the gate at whatsoever cost.[x]

Flavour 5

Alliser Thorne has recovered from the wounds he sustained during the Battle of Castle Black and continues to discover the new recruits. As Thorne walks through the courtyard, he gives Gilly a wait of antipathy due to his hatred of the wildlings. Later, Thorne is present when Mance Rayder is executed by Stannis Baratheon for refusing to bend the knee.[eleven]

With the choosing of a new official Lord Commander impending, Alliser seems to be the favorite to succeed Jeor Mormont due to his efforts during the Battle at Castle Black. Stannis Baratheon and Davos Seaworth attempt to use this to sway Jon to their side, implying that Alliser will make Jon's life in the Sentinel miserable solely to undermine him. During the choosing, Alliser runs confronting Denys Mallister and Jon. While Thorne acknowledges Jon'southward accomplishments, he also reminds the blackness brothers of Jon'due south sympathy towards the wildlings. However, Thorne loses by a single vote - that of Maester Aemon - and Jon is chosen equally the new Lord Commander.[12]

Stannis later advises Jon to transport Alliser away to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, only Jon prefers to continue him around in order to learn if he is plotting confronting him. At a meeting, Jon prepares to assign a black brother to oversee the digging of a new latrine pit. Alliser believes that Jon will use this every bit an opportunity to humiliate him, merely is surprised and somewhat elated when Jon acknowledges his skills and names him First Ranger. When Janos Slynt subsequently defies Jon'southward order of reassignment to Greyguard tower, Ser Alliser initially blocks the blackness brothers coming to seize Janos, but ultimately steps aside out of his newfound respect for Jon. He watches with the residual of the Watch as Janos is beheaded by Jon for refusing to follow orders.[13]

Every bit First Ranger, Thorne becomes a part of Jon'southward inner quango. When Jon proposes that they let the remaining wildlings to pass through the Wall in society to escape the coming White Walkers, Thorne is against the plan, reminding Jon that they accept been enemies for thousands of years and caused the deaths of numerous sworn brothers.[xiv]

Thorne is later present when Jon departs Castle Black with Tormund for Hardhome to persuade the remaining wildlings to surrender, denouncing the mission as reckless and an insult to all the blackness brothers who were killed by the wildlings. He too quips to Sam that he is losing his friends, and by extension, his protection. Information technology is possible that Thorne was in fact alarm Sam nigh potential attacks on him and Gilly in his own, gruff fashion.[xv]

When Jon returns with the wildlings he managed to rescue from Hardhome, Thorne is visibly angered by the presence of wildlings exterior the Wall, but gives the gild to let them inside after Jon shows himself. Every bit the wildlings are immune through Castle Black, Thorne coldly quips to Jon that while he may have a good center, information technology will get them all killed.[16]

Alliser watches as Jon bleeds to death.

A while later, on Thorne's orders, Olly lures Jon into the courtyard, where Thorne claims they have captured a wildling who may know where Benjen Stark is. Thorne, however, leads Jon to a mail service with a sign marked "Traitor" every bit a group of mutineers surroundings him, and he is the showtime to stab Jon and say "For the Sentinel". Jon manages to button Thorne away, but for Othell Yarwyck, Bowen Marsh, two more than officers and Olly to each accept turns in stabbing Jon. He and the mutineers walk away and exit Jon for dead. [17]

Season six

Thorne does not hide his role in the wildcat and manages to win over the bulk of the Watch past reasoning that Jon was willing to hazard the Watch's future through his allegiance with the wildlings. Effectively acting Lord Commander of the Night'southward Watch once again, Thorne speaks with Davos Seaworth, who is guarding Jon's body in a locked room with Eddison Tollett and other Black Brothers loyal to Jon, and offers him safe passage to the South with a horse and supplies, but Davos'due south mocking asking for mutton convinces Thorne that they have no intention of backing down, but will fight to the death. Thorne promises Davos that if he and Jon'southward friends do non surrender, they volition die.[18]

Thorne is taken to the water ice cells.

Davos sends Edd to the wildlings for help, and they breach the gate of Castle Blackness with the aid of the giant Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun. Thorne attempts to rally the Night'southward Watch to fight them off, but they are severely outnumbered and terrified of the behemothic, and the remainder of Thorne's brothers surrender. Just a handful resist, two of whom are killed. Thorne and the other brothers who helped in Jon Snow'south execution are later taken every bit prisoners.[19]

Thorne is hanged as a mutineer.

Afterward Jon has been resurrected by Melisandre, he issues the mutineers' execution. When Jon asks for his last words, Thorne disheartens Jon, stating that while he will residual, Jon will keep fighting. He expresses no regret for leading the wildcat, saying he prays he would have done the aforementioned thing over once more fifty-fifty if he knew the outcome. Jon then gain to cut the rope to hang all of the mutineers, and orders Edd to burn down their bodies.[20]

Personality

Though Alliser Thorne is depicted equally a stern, unsympathetic and sometimes barbarous man, he is non inherently malicious or evil. His behavior and animosity towards Jon Snow and the other recruits of the Night'south Watch appear to be due to his noble groundwork and his distaste at how the Lookout man has become nothing more than a glorified penal colony. His resentment towards Jon stems from his dislike for Ned Stark, one of the rebels who brought downward the Targaryen dynasty, which led to Tywin Lannister having him exiled to the Wall. This, coupled with a traumatic mission beyond the Wall, has hardened Thorne into a bitter man who does non tolerate weakness or cowardice, demonstrated when, for entertainment, he humiliates Samwell Tarly in the courtyard, and shows anger at Jon protecting him, telling him that being soft will not help Sam and volition merely go him killed.

Despite his flaws, however, Thorne appears to be a fundamentally decent man, and well-nigh of his actions are dedicated towards protecting the Wall and the Seven Kingdoms against any threat from the lands beyond, no matter how unethical they may seem. He holds Maester Aemon and Qhorin Halfhand in high regard, outright admitting to Jon that he saw Qhorin equally a blood brother, and valiantly leads the Nighttime's Spotter into boxing against the wildlings and duels Tormund Giantsbane alone. Prior to the battle, he shares a moment with Jon and explains the difficulties of leadership to him, and does his best to encourage Jon to not lose heart, though this is possibly because he believed they were both about to dice before long. Post-obit Maester Aemon's funeral, he warns Sam that he is losing his friends, which could be his ain gruff way of warning Sam of what is coming.

His dedication to his goal and his distrust for Jon are also what atomic number 82 him to spark a mutiny against Jon: in his optics, past letting the wildlings laissez passer through the Wall into the Vii Kingdoms to avoid the coming White Walkers, Thorne believes that Jon has committed the ultimate betrayal towards the Dark'southward Watch, since keeping the wildlings beyond the wall was the very cause that nearly of their sworn brothers bled and died for, which appears to depict him equally somewhat shortsighted, given his hatred for the wildlings blinds him to the true danger approaching Westeros. Thus, he does non stab Jon out of spite or green-eyed, but out of anger and grief for his slain comrades, hence his words, "For the Picket" (although David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have hinted that Thorne's personal vendetta against Jon may have been a factor in his decision to mutiny against him).

In his final moments, Thorne contemplated that it wasn't a option of betraying Jon or betraying his personal interest, but rather the latter meaning betraying the Night's Watch - Jon had brought the Wildlings from Beyond the Wall and broken a crucial chemical element of the vow he took, and in Thorne'southward opinion that justified his execution. Despite this, Thorne admitted that he had ultimately lost the battle he was fighting, and calmly awaited his execution, believing it was finally his chance to residue - however he nevertheless pointed out to Jon that the latter would be fighting their battles forever in Alliser's place.

At the finish, Ser Alliser Thorne proved to be a man stern, with a deep sense of duty and accolade, able to accept defeat and expiry. Sadly, his actions testify how he was too unreasonable and foolish, considering he never truly understood the threat posed by the Nighttime King and couldn't understand how sometimes is necessary to make peace or, at least, truce with those who take always been your enemies, if you lot want to survive. These flaws, combined with his attitude, pushed Ser Alliser to keep believing that opposing to the Free Folk was the main duty for the Night'due south Scout, never understanding how allying with them was the only fashion to save the Vii Kingdoms from the Army of the Dead.

Behind the scenes

  • On the Flavour five Blu-ray, Alliser narrates the Histories & Lore video "The Lord Commanders".

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Alliser Thorne is depicted every bit far more malicious than his television counterpart. He is a respected knight for his service to House Targaryen. During the Sack of King's Landing he fought on the walls of the city against the Lannister forces along the likes of Ser Jaremy Rykker. After the city cruel to the rebellion, he joined the Night'due south Lookout man, beingness given the choice of taking the blackness or being executed by Tywin; this is most likely the cause of Ser Alliser's animosity towards Jon, as Jon'southward male parent was a prominent leader in Robert's Rebellion which forced Thorne into exile at the Wall. In a notable modify, in the Telly series Thorne is an experienced ranger who has been beyond the Wall on several occasions, while in the books he rarely leaves Castle Black. He's described as having eyes as black equally onyx and blackness pilus ridged with white.

Similarly to the evidence, Ser Alliser treats recruits contemptuously, giving them derogatory nicknames and turning them against each other. Equally a result, near all the men he has ever trained during his years as master-at-arms despise him.

It is Donal Noye the blacksmith that tells Jon not to use his superior fighting skills to embarrass his fellow recruits. Jeor Mormont sends Ser Alliser to Rex's Landing with the severed hand of the animated corpse (it was nonetheless jumping and twitching), and he was ordered to lay it at Joffrey'south anxiety. He thought that as a knight with old political allies in Rex'southward Landing, Ser Alliser would exist more respected and listened to, and they would see the danger the Night Sentinel was in and send aid. However, when Thorne arrives and asks for an audience, it was Tyrion who is in accuse. Tyrion asks if the 1 waiting was Yoren, who has become his friend. Remembering Ser Alliser'due south unfriendly behavior, he tells them to give Thorne a room where the rushes haven't been changed in a while. It is weeks before Thorne gets an audience and past then the mitt has rotted away; Tyrion, who has grown to dislike Ser Alliser during his visit at Castle Blackness, regards his words virtually the wights as nonsense. Afterwards his fruitless return, he is sent to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea rather than back to Castle Black.

Thorne, with his crony Janos Slynt, returns to Castle Blackness much afterwards than in the show, during the Battle of Castle Black. Their presence proves to be a hindrance rather than help: they seize command on the castle and interrogate Jon roughly. They accuse him of oathbreaking, cowardice, and desertion. Maester Aemon assures them that Jon has already explained his deeds to him and Donal Noye, but they either don't believe or don't care. Jon repeats what he told before, that he was acting on Qhorin's orders, simply his explanations are rejected. Thorne, who always loathed Jon, accuses him of murdering Qhorin, suggesting that he is in league with those who murdered Mormont, and that Benjen Stark may have a manus in all of that. When Slynt taunts Jon by challenge that Eddard Stark died a traitor, upon hearing the lies about his father, Jon'south patience runs out. When Thorne grabs his arm, he yanks free and grabs Thorne by the throat with such ferocity that he lifts him off the floor. The Eastwatch men pulls Jon off Thorne and he is locked in an water ice prison cell. Four days afterward, he is released. Unable to but kill Jon out of hand (as Aemon has rallied the brothers of the Night's Watch to back up Jon's innocence), Thorne and Slynt guild Jon to go to the wildling camp to parley with Mance Rayder, but actually his mission is to impale Mance. Jon knows well that the wildlings will probably kill him on the spot, but he has no other choice but to do every bit he is told, knowing that a refusal will confirm the fake accusations against him and give Thorne and Slynt an excuse to kill him.

After the boxing is over, Thorne continues naming Jon a turncloak. He claims that Jon failed to impale Mance Rayder because he was in league with him, but few believe that. Later on, Ser Alliser is non a close contender to the mail of Lord Commander, as many brothers resent his treatment as primary-at-arms. Instead he withdraws his candidacy to support Slynt.

Subsequently Jon is elected Lord Commander, he knows he must bargain with Slynt and Thorne, who have done their best to become him killed, for they will undoubtedly undermine him. Indeed, Stannis warns Jon that Thorne complains most the way of his choosing, pointing out that the count was washed by a blind man with Jon's best friend by his elbow, and Slynt names him a turncloak. Jon decides to send Slynt abroad, and keep Thorne - whom he considers as the more dangerous of the two - close to him.

Like it happens in the bear witness, Alliser doesn't interfere when Jon sentences Slynt to death; he reaches for his sword hilt, only changes his mind at the last moment, much to Jon's disappointment. He becomes more circumspect afterwards his crony lost his head, but the malice is nevertheless in him. He is among those who object to have the wildlings to the Spotter, stating "The realm will curse us all for this".

Jon doesn't give Ser Alliser any promotion. Instead he dispatches him, along with viii other rangers, to scout beyond the Wall. Thorne believes Jon is sending him to his death (it is not truthful; naturally, Thorne cannot perceive that Jon wouldn't corruption his authority for settling personal scores), but reluctantly agrees, stating venomously that he knows Jon would like nothing more than an excuse to kill him the same way as Slynt. Earlier departing, he ominously warns Jon that he will return to Castle Black, i way or another. Subsequently, he is not nowadays in the mutiny that results in Jon's apparent death, although his role in the wildcat in the tv set series suggests that he volition return to Castle Blackness in a later novel.

Iii of the 8 rangers that Jon sent with Thorne (Blackness Jack Bulwer, Garth Greyfeather and Hairy Hal) are killed past the Weeper, their eyeless heads are brought to Castle Blackness, merely it is unknown what has get of Thorne and the remaining v rangers.

Thorne's fate in the books is and then far unknown.
