Biography
Background
Jojen is the younger brother of Meera Reed and is the eldest son and heir of Lord Howland Reed of Greywater Watch.
Season 3
Jojen first appears to Bran Stark in a dream. Later he walks up to him while he alone in the forest. Bran warns Jojen that Summer will protect Bran, but Summer sniffs Jojen's hand and walks on. Osha surprises Jojen by putting a spear to the back of his neck, but Osha releases him when Meera suddenly appears with a knife to Osha's neck. Bran bond as they discuss their fathers and Jojen tells him about his powers. Osha grows increasing resentful of Jojen.[1]
Jojen and Bran share a greensight dream where Brand climbs a tree to follow a three-eyed raven, although Bran falls after Catelyn Stark appears repeating her warning in which she made him promise never to climb again - a promise Bran broke. Bran and Jojen wake in their camp in the woods, disappointed that he could not follow the three-eyed raven.[2]

Behind the scenes
Jojen Reed and his sister first appeared in the second book A Clash of Kings before the Fall of Winterfell while the roles were not cast for the show's second season. David Benioff says, "We just felt [the Reeds] would make more of an impact coming in later... 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."[3]
Thomas Brodie-Sangster's casting was first announced at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con International.[4]
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 southernmost of the vassal houses sworn to Winterfell. Jojen is thirteen and is noted as being serious and solemn for his age. It is Jojen and not Bran who dreams of the attack of the Ironborn, as well as the deaths of Alebelly, Septon Chayle and Mikken. When the Stark boys escape Winterfell with their wolves, Hodor, and Osha, the Reeds join them.
