How Many Starks Are Still Alive?
Game of Thrones: Here's Exactly How Many Starks Are Actually Still Alive
4
Jon Snow may only be half Stark, but he's Stark enough to have a direwolf and be crowned King in the North, so he counts!
Jon starts off the series as a surly bastard of Winterfell who decides to take the Black with the Night's Watch to make a name for himself. What he expects to be a long, lonely existence on the Wall turns into a series of escalating trials and tribulations, that result in him making peace with the Wildlings and becoming the 998th Lord Commander of the Night Watch. Of course, this also leads to his death by mutiny from his brothers at the Wall.
But if there's anything to be said, Jon certainly doesn't let anything keep him down for long! He's resurrected by Melisandre in season six and promptly leaves the Night Watch behind (understandably). His planned holiday to Essos is interrupted when Sansa arrives at Castle Black and convinces him to take Winterfell with her. The subsequent battle inspires the lords and ladies of the North to crown him King. He doesn't get to enjoy his crown for long, as soon after he's summoned by Daenerys Targaryen to bend the knee at Dragonstone.
Instead of doing that, Jon convinces her to join his cause and their adventures take them from Dragonstone to beyond the Wall, to Kings Landing. Dany loses a dragon, gains an "alliance" with Cersei, and then a Warden of the North when Jon decides to bend the knee to her. And then they do some other things. Which will definitely make things a little awkward when they arrive in Winterfell in season eight . . .
