If things get too byzantine, it's so confusing that none of it adds up, and you're spending three minutes with characters per episode, and the whole thing becomes a wash."[1]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Jojen Reed is the only son and heir of Lord Howland Reed of Greywater Watch, the southern-most of the vassal houses sworn to Winterfell. Disparagingly called "frog-eaters" due their lands lying in the swamps of the Neck, the Reeds and their followers (the crannogmen) keep themselves to themselves and rarely travel beyond their borders. However, Howland Reed was an exception to this, becoming a noted friend and ally of Lord Eddard Stark and fighting at his side at many key engagements during Robert's Rebellion.
Jojen and Meera were guests at Winterfell when it was taken by Theon Greyjoy. When the Stark boys escaped with their wolves, Hodor and Osha, the Reeds joined them.
Jojen foresaw the attack of the Ironborn, as well as the killing of Alebelly, septon Chayle and Mikken.
In the books Jojen is thirteen. He is noted as being serious and solemn for his age.
