Character: Jon Snow (northerndragon) Group: 3, otherwise 1 (Most of his CR is leaning towards 3, and it seems like people with superhuman powers are heading towards 1, which would make him less useful there.) Contribution:
House Stark and the Night's Watch were the scourge of the Wildlings for thousands of years. As Lord Commander of the Watch (and a Stark bastard), Jon brought the Wildlings south of the Wall and got them to fight for House Stark, something that would previously have been unthinkable. He's spent some time dealing with the Northern lords as king. He also got Daenerys to volunteer her armies and dragons to fight the White Walkers without him bending the knee as she had previously insisted. All of this happened in response to existential threats. On the other hand, sometimes his integrity gets in the way: he has completelyboned at least one important attempt at diplomacy (admittedly, diplomacy with a 100% dishonest and malicious actor), his first meeting with Dany didn't go well, and short-sighted enemies in the Watch assassinated him for letting the Wildlings go south of the Wall (note that the leader of this group had had it in for him since the beginning for political reasons that had more to do with hating Jon's "father"). Jon would be useful in getting Group 3 where it wants to go (he has been a ranger in the past, has been hunting successfully since childhood, and seems pretty all right at stealth in canon), and he might be able to develop some kind of rapport or understanding with Ataturk.
OTOH, if he went to group 1, he has several years of military experience and a strength of 15, but his experience with firearms is limited to the training he did at BASE.
