Jensur was born into the House of Mormont 25 years ago. Over his three decades, he's witnessed four significant wars for the Mormonts (namely assaults on large bands of wildlings) and has represented his household in two; now renowned as his, and the famous Mormont valyrian steel blade: "Longclaw".During his adolescence, he insisted on training to be a woodsman, as many of the Bear Island men are, but was instead forced into becoming an armiger by his now late Father. He squired for Ser Reismar, a Mormont conscript, who fell during a wildling raid on Bear Island when Jensur was just 14. Taking his place, Jensur became a warrior for his house, building his strength, dexterity and stamina. He's now well versed in sword combat and is well known for using his environment to his advantage. His father fell during a raid on the island, leaving Jensur as his rightful heir. Jensur has ruled over Bear Island since, working with the townsfolk to repair and improve the island's, what was, dire financial situation. After consecutive wildling raids on the island, the Mormonts turned to their southern brethren for assistance. Only one house acknowledged their situation and travelled North for a final barrage of attacks on wildling encampments: the Cleganes. Jensur fought alongside the Clegane head of household, Baynard Clegane and has since become long-standing friends, despite their political allegiance and geographical strains.
Personality
Jensur is known to be brutal and ruthless on the battlefield, slaying his opponents without mercy or a second thought. He's notorious for being a force not to be reckoned with and in fact works to imbue this mentality into his warriors so that, in turn, they also lack compassion on the theater of war. In the privacy of his holdfast, Jensur is tender and caring, both to his own family and the townsfolk he rules over. He strongly believes in charity for his people and often gives up his own privileges and luxuries so that his people can live comfortably.
