Game of Thrones/Characters/Essos: Difference between revisions

{{quote| ''"I will have not your body burned. I will not give you that honor. The beetles will feed on your eyes. The worms will crawl through your lungs. The rain will fall on your rotten skin until nothing of you is left but bones!"''}}

* [[Death Is Dramatic]]: Surprisingly combined with [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]].

* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: An infected cut from a fight with a fellow Dothraki is what does him in.

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Of the "[[Anti -Hero]] across the eye" variety. Though, it has to be noted that the scars are real. Actor Jason Momoa got them after being attacked with a broken bottle in a bar.

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: With Daenerys.

* [[I Am X, Son of Y]]: "I, Drogo, son of Bharbo..."

* [[The Obi -Wan]]: To Daenerys.

* {{spoiler|[[One -Scene Wonder]]: In "Valar Morghulis" the House of the Undying makes Dany hallucinate him and Rhaego. He manages to be just as badass and loving in this scene as he was before, and combines it with an awesome [[Blasphemous Boast]]: when Dany wonders how he can be here, he replies "Maybe I told the Great Stallion to go fuck himself and came here to wait for you." [[Badass|She thinks that sounds like the sort of thing he would do]].}}

* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: As expected from a khal of the Dothraki.

{{quote| "The one with the largest braid is the biggest pimp. So... mine's the largest!"}}

* [[This Means War]]: Up until "You Win or You Die," the politics and power struggles surrounding the Iron Throne of Westeros don't mean much to Drogo. Then [[ItsIt's Personal|things get personal]].

{{quote| ''"This must not be."''}}

* [[Duel to Thethe Death]]: Gets into an impromptu one with Jorah Mormont when he threatens to stop the potentially life-saving but forbidden ritual that Dany has ordered for Drogo. He loses.

{{quote| ''"A khal who takes orders from a foreign whore is no khal."''}}

* [[Death Byby Adaptation]]: He survived the book.

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Sports a badass one above his left eyebrow.

* [[The Starscream]]: Because Drogo accepts the will of a ''foreign whore'', which results in [[Duel to Thethe Death]].

{{quote| ''"Why don't you take a look at [[Empty Shell|your husband]]? Then you will see exactly what life is worth, when all the rest is gone."''}}

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Invites ''tons'' of it, both in-universe and out. For a start, Drogo's catatonia and Rhaego's death may have saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and she has a point when she chews Daenerys out. Most of the fandom seem torn between seeing her as [[Good Is Not Nice]] or as [[Good Powers, Bad People]].

* [[Anti -Villain]]: Genuinely believes that killing Rhaego and rendering Drogo helpless was for the greater good, and may be right.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: May be a [[What the Hell, Hero?]], depending on your outlook, but either way it's a doozy.

{{quote| '''Mirri Maz Duur:''' Saved me? Three of those riders had already raped me before you saved me, girl. I saw my god's house burned. There, where I had healed men and women beyond counting! In the streets I saw piles of heads. The head of the baker, who made my bread. The head of a young boy, that I had cured of fever just three moons past. So tell me again exactly what it was that you saved.<br />

'''Daenerys:''' Your life.<br />

* [[Kill It Withwith Fire|Kill Her With Fire]]: her punishment for the death of Rhaego and saving Drogo's life but leaving him brain dead.

{{quote| ''"Do you think the path from poverty to wealth is always pure and honorable? I have done many things, Khaleesi, that a righteous man would condemn. And here I am. With no regrets."'' }}

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]}}: {{spoiler|Unless he somehow manages to escape from his impenetrable vault before he starves or runs out of air.}}

* {{spoiler|[[False -Flag Operation]]: He stages the robbery of the dragons at his palace, which includes [[Bad Boss|killing several of his bodyguards]].}}

* [[The Farmer and Thethe Viper]]: Played with. He is legitimately grateful to the leaders of Qarth for letting him enter the city as a boy {{spoiler|but since he thinks Qarth should open its doors to the world, he has the other members of the Thirteen (minus Pree) killed so he can accomplish this as the King of Qarth}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Sealed Room in Thethe Middle of Nowhere]]}}

* [[Self -Made Man]]

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: By making an alliance with {{spoiler|Pyat Pree}} and proposing marriage to Daenarys, he will accomplish his [[Rags to Royalty]] plan either way; either Dany refuses to marry him, so he {{spoiler|betrays her and Pree makes him king of Qarth in exchange for her dragons}}, or she accepts, in which case he would presumably screw over {{spoiler|Pree}} and conquer Westeros with her dragons. Unfortunately, his plans [[Spanner in Thethe Works|failed to account for one important thing:]] {{spoiler|''The dragons''.}}

{{quote| ''"The Mother of Dragons will be with her babies. She will give them her love and they will thrive by her side. {{spoiler|[[False Reassurance|Forever]].}}"''}}

* [[Adaptational Badass]]: {{spoiler|His [[MesMe's a Crowd]] ability doesn't show up in the books.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]: Takes the place of the Undying Ones}}

* {{spoiler|[[Kill It Withwith Fire]]}}: {{spoiler|Burned to death with dragonfire at Daenerys' command.}}

* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: Xaro Xhoan Daxos dismisses his so-called powers as parlor tricks. {{spoiler|It's actually [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] on his behalf as Xaro and Pree are in cahoots.}}

* [[MesMe's a Crowd]]: He can create copies of himself. Intially, the copies don't seem to be able to do that much apart from stand around and talk, {{spoiler|but it later turns out that they are able to kill on command}}. When "killed" they collapse into nothingness, leaving behind clean clothes.

* [[The Un -Smile]]: And a creepy, creepy, creepy one at that.

{{quote| ''"Unlike you I do not have exalted ancestors. I make my living by trade and I judge every trade on its merits."''}}

{{quote| '''Daenerys''': I am not your little princess. I am Daenerys Stormborn of the blood of old Valyria and [[Catch Phrase|I will take what is mine]]. [[Badass Boast|With fire and blood, I will take it.]]<br />

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: To quote the man himself, "I am merely a trader of spices."

* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: He nicely deconstructs Daenerys' self image; pointing out that she ''hasn't'' got an army, she ''hasn't'' got any allies in Westeros, despite what her [[Yes -Man|advisors]] have been telling her... and she ''hasn't'' got his ships either.

* [[No -Nonsense Nemesis]]: So far, his 'villainy' has consisted exclusively on knocking Daenerys off her high horse.

{{quote| ''"I am no one."''}}

* [[Armor -Piercing Question]]: Asks Jorah if he'll betray Daenerys again the second time they meet.
