Is Jon Snow a Psychopath?

Jon Snow was gone. Then he wasn't. Mirroring his character's arc, Kit Harington was gone from the Game of Thrones press circuit — and now he's not.

"It's nice to be back," the actor tells The Hollywood Reporter, "and not feel like I'm a walking spoiler."

Indeed, there was absolutely nothing Harington could say about Jon's season six storyline at the time, nor anything anyone else could say in that regard. The character's very existence in the sixth year of the HBO fantasy epic was the spoiler to avoid, which was a difficult prospect given the size and scope of Jon's role in everything.

"I think happiness is a very strange term to associate with Jon," he says. "He has a very odd sense of what 'happy' is. It might not be everybody else's 'happy.' I don't know what happiness is for Jon. I actually think secretly deep down, he's a bit of a psychopath, weirdly. He looks for violence. In a strange way, and I said this to [director Miguel Sapochnik] during 'Battle of the Bastards,' I think that in a weird way this could be Jon's natural home, on this battlefield, where he comes to life. For all of his good, he's a violent man."
