Mental characteristics
Personal history
He came into rule of House Mormont when he was 17 and tried to make the citizens as happy as they could sacrificing his own wellness and giving part of the budget for the lords’ family to the people of The Bear Isles. His mother was a pure Ahtroni woman who was forced to marry his father, she taught him about the Ahtroni culture while his father sucked up to the others in Pentos rather than focusing on his own dwindling house.
He is taking part in the rebellion against House Renly and the current monarch. He was born to a dying house, The Bear Isles were dwindling and being superseded by other houses - specifically House Hardrada.
He grew up in a palace watching citizens die and starve as wealthy merchants passed on through. He knew that when he was going to be in charge he wanted to change things. And that he did: reviving the sacred bear population, the navies numbers, the warriors' strength, and the people's faith.
When he had his first child, Catlynn Mormont he knew he wanted his heir to be as great a leader as he could muster so when his first son came along, DJ Mormont, he set him to work as soon as possible. He wanted him to do the absolute best and therefore expected the best. However, as DJ grew he noticed how he was becoming violent and impatient, so he grew colder, ignoring his son until he showed an acceptable manner and work. It then appeared as if DJ was growing more and more rebellious so he distanced himself more and took away some of DJ's privileges. After that the only times he heard of DJ were from his tutor's reports only making him more disappointed. When his second son came along Eddard Mormont he decided to treat him like a proper son, to bond with him. Almost immediately Eddard became his favourite, excelling at everything important and showing the values that he wanted. Cameron Mormont he payed a little attention too but just let him have fun, going around and doing whatever. He spent a little time with his daughters mostly when they were younger, Meera Mormont having a lot of her time with him taken by the war.
He hates DJ, when the Asda situation happened he lashed out and locked DJ away only allowed out to work to see if he can actually do anything of use. He was going to revoke DJ's heirship but he decided to leave it for a few years to see if DJ can change at all. He has shown a slight amount of hope to this outcome as DJ is running to be King after the death of King Jon Reed. He is not sure DJ will be ready for this role though and is waiting for the campaigns to be ran in order to decide. If DJ wins his heirship to House Mormont will be revoked in order for Eddard Mormont to take over and DJ to just focus on the country as a whole.
