Davos Seaworth!

Okay, so, don't hate me yet. You see, I do see the sense in this theory. Truly, I do. The problem is, it's just not the way I want to see Jon. Jon should be Lord Commander of the Night's Watch for another two books, slowly rebuilding all castle ruins of the Watch and bringing the Night's Watch back to the glory it used to have, all those years ago (else, why hint at the Watch's glorious past so much?). Also, he is a Stark in blood, heritage and everything. His warg powers also make it unlikely that he's a Targaryen. Fun fact: The two greatest and most plausible theories, R+L=J and The Great Northern Conspiracy utterly and completely conflict with each other. Let's see how that one turns out!

Davos II, A Dance with Dragons

Davos I, A Dance with Dragons

I might get a lot of hate on this post. Just let me explain. Ned has a great sense of honor and duty. He values honor above duty, though, unlike our Onion Man who just goes back to walking in rags through taverns and smuggling himself into the city he needs to win over. Eddard's worst case of honorphilia was his stance on Jaime. Jaime saved tens of thousands of innocent lives, the entire realms, by murdering the Mad King. He was called that for a reason. Yet Ned (and unfortunately, many others with him) view Jaime as the ultimate form of dishonor and oathbreaking. Horrible. Really.

Davos II, A Dance with Dragons

<3

King Davos of House Seaworth, the First of His Name, King of the Andals, Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. Lord Jon Stark, Hand of the King and Lord of Winterfell.

And if he does ever die, it'll be while saving the entire world from a great evil, or while saving Stannis from Melisandre (Maester Cressen tried that.)

He is the best ruler they could possibly wish in Westeros. Smart, determined and someone who wants nothing more than to rule a stable kingdom. Sure, he fights this war, but only to secure a peaceful rule. After that, he'll be the best freaking king ever.

As said many times before, both in the books and by fan analysis, he will do whatever it takes to win the Iron Throne, including burning the sept on Dragonstone and keeping Melisandre with him at all times as his second most trusted advisor (DAVOS IS #1).

I just finished watching all currently released seasons and reading all currently released books. And seriously! The actors and casting of the series is SO EXTREMELY ACCURATE to the characters! I can barely name a single character that does not have an excellent displaying actor! Cersei, Tyrion, Davos, Sandor, Jaime, Arya, Robb, Jon, Theon, Stannis, Eddard, Renly, Catelyn, Varys, Daenerys, I have no idea, every single character has a perfect depiction! Just one single complaint: Petyr Baelish. Sorry HBO, you did it wrong. Want to see a true Littlefinger? Check out his page on AWOIAF, the fan-made depiction. Excellent.
