Ned’s appearance at eighth place is fairly impressive considering he doesn’t even make it out of the first novel alive. The Stark kids think back on him a lot. Cersei Lannister completes the top ten with 1180 mentions. The rest of the top ten is full of Starks, with Sansa (1524), Bran (1439), Eddard (1367) and Catelyn (1229) taking spots six through nine. True, a few more point-of-view characters eventually do get involved in Dany’s plotline, including Quentyn Martell and Barristan Selmy, but their chapters only start appearing late in the game. But plenty of characters can have reason to mention Jon outside Jon himself, among them Arya, Ned, Catelyn, Sansa, Tyrion, Sam and Bran. How is this possible for such an important character? It may be because, for most of the series, the only point-of-view character involved in Daenerys’ plotline is Daenerys herself. Not many other characters have cause to mention her. For those keeping score, that means Jon Snow has roughly twice as many mentions as Daenerys.
