Janos the Manos - The Janos Slynt Appreciation Thread

[Victarion]

In this thread we discuss the unsung hero at the wall, Janos Slynt. One of the best implicit lines in the entire series pertains to Slynt: They (the Night's Watch) had found a southerner and kingsguard that still cared about the realms of men. This in reference to Slynt taking it upon himself to taste the food during the battle of Castle Black, knowing full well that the crows would be descending on the open position of Lord Commander and that some would take it through poison rather than an honest election.
