Stannis may be gone, but I feel like a part of him lives on in Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryen). Great and powerful men have been an influence on Jon: Ned Stark, Benjen Stark, Maester Aemon, Mance Rayder, Lord Commander Mormont, Stannis Baratheon, etc. While Jon has a natural sense of duty, I think Stannis’ sense of duty and conviction rubbed off on Jon, making his stronger in the process. In season 5, Stannis frequently kept observing Jon and asked him to join him, offering to officially make him Lord Jon Stark of Winterfell. Davos informed Jon that Stannis saw something in him. Melisandre affirmed the observation. Even Shireen noticed it, feeling like a disappointment when she saw how her father looked proudly at Jon (glad Stannis assured her he loved her). I got the vibe that Stannis viewed Jon as the son he wished he had. Stannis noticed almost immediately that Jon was special. I’d like to think that his stay at Castle Black had some influence on Jon and a little bit of his legacy will live on in Jon, especially with Davos as his right hand man after Stannis fell. What do you guys think? Did the books also portray the same relationship between Jon and Stannis. Would like to read your opinions.
