Catelyn Stark thinks Jason is still handsome[2] and rides like a man who fears nothing.[4]
History
Lord Jason is a renowned tourney knight, participating in several tourneys over the years. He was defeated in the tourney at Storm's End by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Ser Barristan Selmy.[5][6] As a bannerman to House Tully, he attended the wedding of Catelyn Tully to Eddard Stark where his gifts were lavish.[4]
During Robert's Rebellion, Jason fought bravely at the Battle of the Trident, slaying three of Rhaegar's bannermen,[7] according to semi-canon sources to avenge the death of his brother.[8] During the Greyjoy's Rebellion in 289 AC, he killed Rodrik Greyjoy beneath the walls of Seagard, throwing the ironmen reavers back into the sea.[9]
After the conclusion of Greyjoy's Rebellion, King Robert I Baratheon ordered a tourney at Lannisport to celebrate his victory. There, Lord Jason was defeated by the eventual champion, Lord Jorah Mormont.[10]
