Case File 02 / Psychological Report
A disgraced Northern lord exiled for selling poachers into slavery, Jorah Mormont attaches his need for redemption to Daenerys Targaryen. His loyalty is real, but it is tangled with guilt, longing, and the hope of being made honorable again.
Jorah's psychology is penance through service. He begins as informant and exile, then becomes protector because Daenerys offers him a moral horizon beyond shame. His love is tender but unequal, often asking service to stand in for mutual intimacy.
His internal conflict is whether loyalty can redeem betrayal when the wound was created by disloyalty in the first place.
