Rules FAQ

Jon Snow must be declared as an attacker (the normal way) in order to use stealth (gained from Master Luwin, etc.). If he participates in a challenge via his ability, then he was not declared as an attacker, and thus cannot use stealth.

Furthermore, if another Night's Watch character you control is attacking, Jon Snow is automatically in the challenge -- whether you want him to be or not.

The defending player cannot attempt to remove a Jon Snow that is participating, via his ability, from the challenge, because the ability will instantly reassert itself. They can, however, remove the other attacking Night's Watch character(s), and if there is no longer another attacking NW character then Jon Snow will stop participating as well.

Clarification question: after using his ability, do I have to kneel John Snow? — ovidenov 1
No. — mplain 238
Assuming there are no modifiers in play to give him other icons -As he only has an intrigue icon, is he only considered participating in intrigue attacks? — Luke@me 21
No. Icons are necessary for being 'declared' as an attacker. Jon Snow is not declared normally, but rather his game text says he is participating automatically when the conditions are met (standing, another attacking NW character). @Luke — scantrell24 3392
So if I have an monocon character attacking in a military challenge (strength =1) Jon Snow participates, even without a military icon to bring the strength up to =5? — Luke@me 21
Correct. — scantrell24 3392
