History Characters / GameOfThronesDaenerysCourt

* AmbiguouslyGay: Several characters accuse him of being gay, although Varys eventually admits to being asexual. Not that Varys could have [[GroinAttack done]] [[EunuchsAreEvil much]] with anyone in any case, particularly since he was castrated as a child.
-->'''Oberyn Martell:''' We have some lovely boys on retainer, but...You did like boys before? ''[Varys shakes his head]'' Really? Girls? Hmm. I hope you won't be offended when I say I never would have guessed.\\
'''Varys:''' Not at all. But I was never interested in girls, either.\\
'''Oberyn Martell:''' What then?\\
'''Varys:''' Nothing.\\
'''Oberyn Martell:''' Everybody is interested in something.\\
'''Varys:''' Not me. When I see what desire does to people, what it's done to this country, I am very glad to have no part in it. Besides, the absence of desire leaves one free to pursue other things. [an aside but pointed glance at the Iron Throne]

* DisabilityImmunity / NoSell: As Ros discovered, it's very hard to seduce someone who has no genitals.

* MissingStepsPlan: Vary's ethos in a nutshell. He wants to build a better realm that protects the common people. So he serves the royal government, if the government is not doing its best, he then decides to nurture a rebellion even if the guy in charge of that rebellion (Viserys) is plainly going to be worse than the incumbent. Somehow, after a series of events, this will create a better realm for the smallfolk.

** His initial disobedience toward Daenerys and tendency to sleep on her has also drawn comparisons to [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Charizard.]] Like Charizard, Drogon eventually respects and regains love towards their master/"mother" and obeys their every command again.

** Needless to say, this is considerably different from the novels, where Aegon Targaryen is ([[AmbiguousSituation believed to be]]) live and well and has actually secretly been under Varys' tutelage for years, who has been grooming him to be king. Varys' spywork on Daenerys is instead motivated by determining just how much of a threat she can be to Aegon's legitimacy and instead settles that the best solution would be if the two could have a political marraige.

* GutturalGrowler: Viserion and Rhaegal have a raspy roar compared to Drogon's. This is more pronounced after he becomes a wight.

** To his fellow younger ''Kingsguard'' brothers while missing part of his armor: "Even now I could carve through the five of you like carving a cake!"

* TheAlliance: Upon reaching Westeros, she is supported by an alliance consisting of the Dothraki Horde, the Unsullied army, House Tryell and the Reach, Ellaria Sand and Dorne, Yara and Theon Greyjoy and half the Iron Fleet, Tyrion Lannister, Varys, and (tentatively) the Second Sons mercenary company. The Westerosi allies are quickly knocked out by co-ordinated strikes by Cersei, Jaime, and Euron. Afterwards, the alliance includes the Starks (and, by extension, the Vale and the Wildlings) after Jon Snow pledges himself to her when she promises to defeat the Night King and in gratitude for saving him and his group. A nominal truce exists with the Lannisters to fight the White Walkers, but Cersei [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder only pretends to agree to join Jon and Daenerys in the battle for the living with no intention of honoring the deal]].

Formerly a slave owned by Kraznys mo Nakloz who he used as a translator, now with Daenerys as of "Walk of Punishment". Dany technically freed her after asking for and accepting her as a gift from Kraznys, but Missandei continues to serve her as a scribe, linguist and handmaiden.

* EnemyMine: With Tyrion, who he initially takes prisoner and intends to give to Daenerys to gain back her favor, fully expecting she'll execute him. After the two almost died during the journey through Valyria and after being imprisoned as slaves, they seem to have accepted each other as partners in the mutual enterprise of escaping a very bad situation.

** To Melisandre, who he dislikes out of prejudice for magic. Both of them were born poor and slaves, are foreigners to Westeros, but circumstances led Melisandre to turn to magic and prophecy for help and support while Varys ended up hating magic to become a formidable KnowledgeBroker. Both of them believe in serving the greater good and will do what it takes for the sake of their ideologies and as Dany reminds Varys, they are both FormerRegimePersonnel paying court to her.

* DyingCurse: [[spoiler:Her final words on the city walls of King's Landing is "Dracarys", the war cry that triggers the dragonflames. Daenerys and Grey Worm who hear this, more than fulfill her wrath on the city of King's Landing the following day]].

* InformedAttribute: He's presented as a great all-knowing chessmaster and presents himself as someone interested in the general good of the realm. Yet throughout Seasons 1-4 he gets OutGambitted by Littlefinger (who kills his mole Ros, and murders Joffrey by working with Olenna Tyrell), by Daenerys herself who both survives his assassination attempt, and then births three dragons, then Tyrion kills Tywin and finally his supposedly loyal "little birds" get subverted by Qyburn, and he somehow fails to unearth information about the drying of Tywin's goldmines.
