Jon oversees Iron Emmett's training sessions with the new recruits Horse and Hop-Robin, noting that although Cotter Pyke was upset at losing Eastwatch's best swordsman, Emmett is a natural teacher who knows how to train men how to fight and loves doing it.[3]
Emmett is one of the men brought by Jon to escort Janos Slynt out of Castle Black to carry out his duties as garrison commander of Greyguard. Jon orders Janos to be hanged when he refuses to obey, however, Emmett chokes Janos into submission when he attempts to escape. Emmett kicks Janos to his knees and places his head on the chopping block when Jon orders Janos be beheaded instead.[4]
Emmett's best trainees are Arron, Emrick, and Jace.[5] The three, along with Jax, Leathers, and Satin, are later admitted to the Watch.[6]
Jon eventually names Emmett commander of Long Barrow, where Jon sends the free folk spearwives.[6] Jon names Leathers as Emmett's replacement as master-at-arms.[7] Dolorous Edd mentions to Jon that Emmett has begun bedding Black Maris, one of the spearwives.[8]
