{{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!"''}}
 
The "Khal" or leader of a nomadic Dothraki tribe or "khalasar" and a renowned warrior. He contracts to marry Daenerys in exchange for a promise to win Viserys the crown of Westeros.
Line 21:
* [[Braids of Barbarism|Braids]] ([[Beard of Barbarism|And Beard]]) [[Braids of Barbarism|Of Barbarism]]
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: Normally a rather taciturn fellow, but when he makes a speech, a SPEECH will be made. The sprays of saliva and wild flexing gesticulations are just icing on the cake.
* [[Death Is Dramatic]]: Surprisingly combined with [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]].
* [[Defrosting Ice King]]: He starts off as brutish and [[Stoic]], but overtime his heart is softened by Daenerys.
* [[The Dragon]]: How Viserys sees him. Drogo, on the other hand, ignores Viserys entirely whenever possible and has no interest whatsoever in his agenda.
* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: An infected cut from a fight with a fellow Dothraki is what does him in.
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]: Speaks only enough Westerosi to, say, diss Viserys, but he is an intelligent and charismatic war leader.
* [[Empty Shell]]: After the ritual performed by Mirri Maz Duur to save his life.
Line 43:
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: [[Justified]]. Dothraki only cut their braids when they are defeated, and Drogo's has never been cut.
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: As expected from a khal of the Dothraki.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Or in this case lots of [[Guyliner|eye makeup]]. Also, as Jason Momoa put it on the comentary:
{{quote| "The one with the largest braid is the biggest pimp. So... mine's the largest!"}}
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Newly embarked on one, thanks to the assassin Robert sent for Dany.
* [[The Stoic]]
Line 60:
[[File:Qotho-001_4099.png|frame]]
 
{{quote| ''"This must not be."''}}
 
One of Khal Drogo's bloodriders.
Line 70:
* [[Cassandra Truth]] / [[Only Sane Man]]: Well, he was right about not trusting the witch after all.
* [[The Dragon]]: To Drogo.
* [[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.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]
 
Line 77:
[[File:Mago-001_3481.png|frame]]
 
{{quote| ''"A khal who takes orders from a foreign whore is no khal."''}}
 
One of Khal Drogo's riders.
Line 84:
* [[Braids of Barbarism]]: Sports a rather long one.
* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Drogo slits his throat and pulls his tongue out from the wound itself.
* [[Death Byby Adaptation]]: He survived the book.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Sports a badass one above his left eyebrow.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]
* [[Spiteful Spit]]: After Drogo orders him not to rape the Lhazareen women.
* [[The Starscream]]: Because Drogo accepts the will of a ''foreign whore'', which results in [[Duel to Thethe Death]].

Line 109:

{{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."''}}
 
A healer and wise woman of the Lhazareen, taken as a slave by Drogo's khalasar. Daenerys takes her under her protection.
Line 121:
* [[Evil All Along]]: Hates the Dothraki, and had a hand in the catatonia of Khal Drogo and the death of Daenerys' unborn son. Of course, this is a group that just wiped out her community for no good reason.
* [[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 />
'''Mirri Maz Duur:''' Why don't you take a look at your Khal? Then you will see exactly what life is worth, when all the rest is gone. }}
* [[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.
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]
* [[Rape and Revenge]]
Line 137:
[[File:xaroxhoandaxos_6799.jpg|frame]]
 
{{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."'' }}
 
A merchant prince of Qarth and member of "The Thirteen", the ruling elite of the city.
Line 151:
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Offers it to Daenerys.
* [[Blood Oath]]: Cuts his hand and shows the blood as part of his jurament to stand for Daenerys and her people.
* {{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|[[Karmic Death]]}}: {{spoiler|Dany seals him and Doreah inside his impenetrable vault.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Mock Millionaire]]}}: {{spoiler|He's not nearly as wealthy as he appears. His impenetrable vault is actually empty. That being said, Dany seems to believe that the valuables he has lying around his mansion can sell for enough money to buy a ship.}}
Line 160:
* [[Rags to Riches]]: His parents never owned a single pair of shoes. Xaro himself arrived at Qarth with nothing. Now he's the richest man in the richest city in Essos... {{spoiler|but only as far as appearances go.}}
* [[Rags to Royalty]]: Accomplishing this is his reason for wanting to marry Dany. {{spoiler|In "A Man Without Honor", he has Pyat Pree assassinate the other eleven members of the Thirteen, allowing him to become the King of Qarth.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Sealed Room in Thethe Middle of Nowhere]]}}
* [[Self-Made Man]]
* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]: Has Pyat Pree murder all the rest of the Thirteen to crown himself the King of Qarth.}}
* [[Token Minority]]: And it actually becomes something of a plot point
* {{spoiler|[[Treacherous Advisor]]}}: {{spoiler|He helps Pyat Pree capture Dany's dragons in return for his help assassinating the other eleven members of the Thirteen so he can become King.}}
* [[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''.}}
 
== Pyat Pree (Ian Hanmore) ==
Line 171:
[[File:Pyat-Pree_9220.jpg|frame]]
 
{{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]].}}"''}}
 
A Qartheen warlock loyal to the "Undying Ones" and another member of The Thirteen.
Line 182:
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* {{spoiler|[[Bullying a Dragon]]: Turns out that telling Dany he plans to keep her imprisoned there forever while his vulnerable original form is standing right in front of her fire-breathing dragons was a bad idea.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]: Takes the place of the Undying Ones}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]]: To Xaro Xhoan Daxos.}}
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]
Line 190:
* {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]}}: {{spoiler|He wanted the power of Dany's dragons ... he got it}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Kill It Withwith Fire]]}}: {{spoiler|Burned to death with dragonfire at Daenerys' command.}}
* [[Lean and Mean]]
* [[Lookslike Orlock]]: Might not suck blood but damn if he doesn't look the part.
Line 204:
[[File:Spice-King-GoT_3245.jpg|frame]]
 
{{quote| ''"Unlike you I do not have exalted ancestors. I make my living by trade and I judge every trade on its merits."''}}
 
Another member of the Thirteen. Second richest man in Qarth after Xaro Xhoan Daxos and owner of its biggest merchant fleet.
Line 212:
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: There's no Spice King in the books, just the Ancient Guild of Spicers, a trade guild rival to the Thirteen, who are also a trade group and not the rulers of Qarth. However, his appearance and tone are quite similar to the way [[Adaptational Badass|Xaro Xoan Daxos]] is described in the book, to the point that some readers may have assumed he was Xaro when he first appeared.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:
{{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 />
'''The Spice King''': Yes, My Lady, but not with my ships. }}
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: To quote the man himself, "I am merely a trader of spices."
Line 220:
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Referring to Qarth as “the greatest city that ever was or will be.” Likewise, calling himself a “[[Just the First Citizen|trader of spices]].”
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: When the Thirteen begin to turn her away, Daenerys indignantly points out that they promised to “receive” her and her people. The Spice King deftly counters this, saying they have indeed ''[[Double Meaning|received]]'' (met with) her.
Line 233:
[[File:GOTQuaithe_5285.jpg|frame]]
 
{{quote| ''"I am no one."''}}
 
A priestess from Asshai, now residing in Qarth.
Line 246:
* [[The Omniscient]]
