The mountain clansmen were led by Hugo Wull, Morgan Liddle, and Torghen Flint. There were a couple of other smaller chieftains with them, but those three commanded the largest forces. All of them were staunchly loyal to House Stark and hated the Boltons with a burning passion. They even called him "The Jon" as a sign of respect. The three chieftains were old and grey, and Jon could infer from their words that they had come here to fight and die for the children of "The Ned" . Nobody mentioned anything about his former vows to the Night's Watch. The clansmen were tough, prickly, and, most importantly, still loyal to House Stark, even though all that was left of the Starks were a girl twice married to the enemies and a bastard oathbreaker.
