At Castle Black
Jon Executes Janos Slynt
Jon Snow orders Janos Slynt to take command of the ruined fort of Greyguard. Slynt openly defies the order, insulting Jon and refusing to obey. In a decisive and brutal act to assert his authority, Jon sentences Slynt to death. He personally beheads Slynt with Longclaw in front of the assembled men of the Night's Watch and Stannis's court, shocking many but establishing his rule as one that will not tolerate insubordination.
