Despite this, Tony wants to replace it with an armor of his own make as soon as possible.

Arya Stark's "dancing" teacher. Supposed to be a mere Braavosi traveler, but reveals himself as much more than meets the eye.
----
* ActionGirl: She takes on Meryn Trant and his goons unarmed and ''wins''.
* AdaptationalHeroism: This series opts for the [[Film/XMenFilmSeries Fox X-Men]] characterization of Mystique as a complex AntiHero who cares about her fellow mutants and voluntarily associates with Magneto's Brotherhood, rather than her comic counterpart's unfailingly selfish sociopathy.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her true appearance is blue-skinned with crimson hair.
* ComplexityAddiction: Sabretooth accuses her of this, that Mystique enjoys complex games simply because she's bored and could do far much more without constant scheming.
* CompositeCharacter: "Syrio Forel" is actually one of Mystique's disguises, and she's explicitly replacing Jaqen H'gar as the one who inducts Arya into a shadow organization.
** Chapter 22 of ''A Crack of Thunder'' complicates it even more, revealing she is the [[spoiler:daughter of Duncan the Small (Aegon V's firstborn) and Jenny of Oldstones]] - and that she got her mutation because of the magic her mother was exposed to in [[spoiler:the Tragedy at Summerhall.]]
* CorruptTheCutie: Subtly grooms Arya to favorably consider the cause.
* TheCynic: Blatantly considers the Iron Man a fool for protecting fickle people who will turn against him the very moment he falters.
* GenderBender: The male Syrio is just one of many identities the female Mystique has used. She then disguises herself as [[spoiler:''Jaime Lannister'', no less]].
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Arya's first idea when she sees her mentor's real appearance is that Mystique is actually a fairy.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When she was younger, before meeting Magneto, she had to do many things she is not proud of, but if she had not then she would have died.
* IHaveManyNames: In the first book, she used three names: Syrio Forel, Ravan and Mystique.
* LostOrphanedRoyalty: She is the daughter of [[spoiler:Duncan the Small and Jenny of Oldstones (and, thus, Aegon V's grand-daughter), born during the Tragedy at Summerhall, like Rhaegar.]]
* MasterActor: Very much so.
** She fooled the entire Red Keep for months when she pretended to be a Braavosi swordsman then she plays the distressed commoner to the hilt when she escapes the Stark purge. She even instructs Arya on the behavior she must use to be unnoticed.
** She then successfully manages to fool ''Tywin Lannister'' into thinking she's [[spoiler:Jaime. Even more impressive since, after hearing about the "impostor" Sansa, Tywin was especially on guard for an impostor]].
* MasterOfDisguise: Being a shapeshifter has its perks.

----

[[/folder]]
A mysterious group, composed of people with great powers, who are preparing to come out of the shadows and reveal themselves to the world.
----
* AdaptationalNameChange: Their name is altered from "The Brotherhood of Mutants" to "The Brotherhood of the Blackfyres".
* CompositeCharacter: Given some of the author's notes and reveals, the Brotherhood is a composite of the Faceless Men and Young Griff's faction (for a given fan interpretation of Young Griff being a Blackfyre).
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Magneto sacrificing the Bloody Mummers for the ritual that [[spoiler: mutates Arya and Gendry]] also manages to hatch a purple dragon, later named Lockheed after the Valyrian god of the dead.
* TrueCompanions: It's noted that they all view each other as family.
* VitriolicBestBuds: They often try to murder each other only to rally together in order to defend one of them.
[[folder:Magneto]]
!!Erik Blackfyre, a.k.a. Magneto
Mystique's master, he's first mentioned in the first book, being implied to be raising an army in the shadows for some purpose. Finally makes an appearance in the last third of the second book, having hidden himself as the Maester of Harrenhal in order to put Arya and Gendry to the test, and finally revealing he is the son of Daemon Blackfyre, and thus a potential claimant for the Iron Throne.
----
* ActorAllusion: His musing about coming precisely in time and claiming of the title "White Pilgrim" are a ShoutOut to [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf]].
* TheDreaded: Doom is proudly unaffected by the House of the Undying's attempts to show him his greatest fear and desire, but he still freaks out a bit upon seeing he'll be meeting Magneto soon.
* FantasticRacism: He's very dismissive of mundane people.
* TheGhost: Only name-dropped in the first book, but won't be long to appear if Arya's arc progresses. [[spoiler:He finally does in the second book, having hidden as the Maester of Harrenhal.]]
* LastOfHisKind: Given that the Blackfyres were all but extinct in canon, he might be the last of his family name.
* MagnetismManipulation: This is the Master of Magnetism we're talking about, so this goes without saying.
* MasterOfDisguise: Made everyone in Harrenhal believe he was the castle's [[spoiler:kind Maester.]]
* TheMentor: How Syrio presents him.
* NightmareFetishist: When he learned of Raven's existence, he insisted to see "the real her", and was obviously insatisfied when she tried to take the classical Targaryen looks. Only when she finally showed him her blue skin, he claimed her perfect.
* OneManArmy: He easily slaughtered the Bloody Mummers, [[MuggingTheMonster who believed he would be a nice kill]].
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: As a Blackfyre, he's distant cousins to Daenerys, [[spoiler:Mystique, and Jon.]]
* TheResenter: Is none too pleased that his cousin Daenerys is making waves in Essos, when he considers himself the true heir to the Iron Throne.
* TheRival: As a Blackfyre, he's this to Daenerys.
* StealthMentor: Has been carefully testing both Arya and Gendry in order to see whether they are worthy of [[spoiler:gaining powers.]]
* StoryBreakerPower: Do remember that Dark Age weapons and armor are made of ''metal''. However, it is downplayed compared to the comics. The smallfolk wear ''significantly'' less metal than modern humans (no zippers, while buckles and metallic buttons are primarily for rich people), and several weapons that are common in medieval times are a lot easier to adapt to have no metal on them than guns, meaning that his powers are significantly less useful against, say, some random peasant bandits armed with wooden spears they got by simply sharpening a pole, or even just quarterstaves they got by removing the spearheads from their spears. Or any archer who isn't wearing armor, or is only wearing leather armor, hearing of his powers and deciding to simply remove their arrowheads and either use stone arrowheads or sharpen the arrows shaft instead.

[[folder:Syrio Forel/Mystique]]
!!Syrio Forel, a.k.a. Mystique
Arya Stark's "dancing" teacher. Supposed to be a mere Braavosi traveler, but reveals himself as much more than meets the eye.
----
* ActionGirl: She takes on Meryn Trant and his goons unarmed and ''wins''.
* AdaptationalHeroism: This series opts for the [[Film/XMenFilmSeries Fox X-Men]] characterization of Mystique as a complex AntiHero who cares about her fellow mutants and voluntarily associates with Magneto's Brotherhood, rather than her comic counterpart's unfailingly selfish sociopathy.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her true appearance is blue-skinned with crimson hair.
* ComplexityAddiction: Sabretooth accuses her of this, that Mystique enjoys complex games simply because she's bored and could do far much more without constant scheming.
* CompositeCharacter: "Syrio Forel" is actually one of Mystique's disguises, and she's explicitly replacing Jaqen H'gar as the one who inducts Arya into a shadow organization.
** Chapter 22 of ''A Crack of Thunder'' complicates it even more, revealing she is the [[spoiler:daughter of Duncan the Small (Aegon V's firstborn) and Jenny of Oldstones]] - and that she got her mutation because of the magic her mother was exposed to in [[spoiler:the Tragedy at Summerhall.]]
* CorruptTheCutie: Subtly grooms Arya to favorably consider the cause.
* TheCynic: Blatantly considers the Iron Man a fool for protecting fickle people who will turn against him the very moment he falters.
* GenderBender: The male Syrio is just one of many identities the female Mystique has used. She then disguises herself as [[spoiler:''Jaime Lannister'', no less]].
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Arya's first idea when she sees her mentor's real appearance is that Mystique is actually a fairy.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When she was younger, before meeting Magneto, she had to do many things she is not proud of, but if she had not then she would have died.
* IHaveManyNames: In the first book, she used three names: Syrio Forel, Ravan and Mystique.
* LostOrphanedRoyalty: She is the daughter of [[spoiler:Duncan the Small and Jenny of Oldstones (and, thus, Aegon V's grand-daughter), born during the Tragedy at Summerhall, like Rhaegar.]]
* MasterActor: Very much so.
** She fooled the entire Red Keep for months when she pretended to be a Braavosi swordsman then she plays the distressed commoner to the hilt when she escapes the Stark purge. She even instructs Arya on the behavior she must use to be unnoticed.
** She then successfully manages to fool ''Tywin Lannister'' into thinking she's [[spoiler:Jaime. Even more impressive since, after hearing about the "impostor" Sansa, Tywin was especially on guard for an impostor]].
* MasterOfDisguise: Being a shapeshifter has its perks.
* TheMentor: Ned Stark enlisted him to teach swordmanship to Arya, but he ends up taking a more prominent role in her education about the wider world.
* OhCrap: Upon realizing she'll have to give Arya TheTalk.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: She's actually the daughter of [[spoiler:Duncan the Small, making her Daenerys' first cousin once removed. Also, as Magneto is a Blackfyre, he's a more distant cousin.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: It's noted that for all that she and Toad bicker, they'd instantly fight to protect each other if necessary.
* YouAreInCommandNow: [[spoiler:As "Jaime"]], she's left in command of Harrenhal when Tywin goes to ally with the Tyrells.

!!Sabertooth
Another Brotherhood member introduced in ''A Shield of Man'', he's a large beast of a man.
----
* TheBigGuy: Towers over his companions and is the physically strongest of them. Would be TheBrute, if not for his HiddenDepths.
* CompositeCharacter: A meta example of merging various incarnations of the character into one -- his physical appearance is a mix of the two [[Film/XMen1 film]] [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine versions]], while his personality is based on the [[WesternAnimation/XMen cartoon]] and ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' versions.
* CuttingTheKnot: He doesn't believe in complex planning, instead preferring to just charge in and get the job done.
* HiddenDepths: Is a lot smarter than he looks, and kinder towards his comrades than you'd expect.
* MoralityPet: Has a soft spot for Arya.
* MundaneUtility: Uses his claws to uncork bottles.
* RealMenWearPink: He knits in his free time. Arya's brain almost breaks from the strain of imagining musclebound Sabertooth indulging in a granny's hobby.
