A Song of Ice and Fire/Characters/House Targaryen: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[Death Faked for You]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Red Herring]]: Quaithe's prophecy mentions six characters who seek Daenerys over the course of the book. All of them map closely to other visitors--Tyrion, Quentyn, Victarion, Moqorro, Connington--but the last is a "mummer's dragon." Mummers are traveling actors and a "mummer's [noun]" is slang for a counterfeit version of same. Varys was once a mummer. Does GRRM have something his sleeve? ...Or does it just mean that Young Griff is a dragon who is under the overall care of Varys the mummer?}}

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: {{spoiler|Despite recieving all the standard education for a prince Aegon's also been brought up as a relatively ordinary boy, learning the skills a commoner needs to survive, such as treating wounds and cooking. Varys thinks this will be good preparation for being a king who will do everything to help his people; whether he's right remains to be seen. He also insists on leading the upcoming attack on Storm's End from the front.}}

** {{spoiler|That may or may not be a wise idea, as Storm's End has basically never fallen. The odds of Young Griff contracting a fatal case of arrow-through-head are significant.}}
