Jon Stark is the only known man known to return alive from the smouldering ruins of the Freehold, and unlike Princess Aerea Targaryen, he was not mortally wounded. Still, witnesses say that his powerful form had grown haggard and had large, black circles beneath his eyes. Just like Balerion, Winter returned with trophies to show for his feat, three long and brutal jagged scars marring his pristine scales -two across his back and one at his side. Although some claim that those were caused by the black wraiths of Yeen.
