open/close all folders
In General
- Adaptational Name Change: Downplayed in Drogon's case. In canon, he was named after Drogo alone. Here, he's named after both Drogo and Logan, changing his name to Drogan.
- Our Dragons Are Different: Under Daenerys's command are her three dragons. While young, they have the potential to become an immense force of power, even by themselves.
Daenerys Targaryen*
Daenerys Targaryen, Stormborn, Firestar
The last of the Targaryens, or so she believes, Dany seeks to establish herself as a ruler.- Adaptational Badass: Throwing herself on Drogo's funeral pyre gave her fire powers.
- Her time with Viktor filled out the knowledge she was lacking to go with her natural smarts. She learns to play the Qartheen like a fiddle by outright rejecting their gifts and forcing them into tedious rituals before they can meet her so she can show dominance. She also listens more to the counsel of her allies and plots to ensure Yunkai can never be a threat to her or the slaves again, even if her enemies retake it.
- Badass Boast: When accepting Barristan and Bruce's fealty, she also delivers a firm warning."But betray me and I will be the Conqueror, Ser Barristan. I will bring my wrath with fire and blood. And I will see if the Hulk is truly as unkillable as you claim."
- Break the Cutie: Her reaction when all of her illusions regarding her family are brutally ripped away.
- Composite Character: She's still Daenerys in her backstory and goals, but she gains Pyro's skill set with her ability to manipulate fire - though she chooses Firestar's codename.
- Crazy-Prepared: After mastering the ability to swallow fire, she takes to keeping a flame in her stomach at all times to burn out any poison she might ingest.
- Entitled Bastard: She still has shades of this, even after Viktor's tutelage - while she believes that she must be a competent and just ruler, and she's decidedly realistic about her prospects for allies in Westeros (especially after having her illusions of her family brutally shattered by Viktor), she also believes that she deserves to be Queen of Westeros simply because of who she is.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Logan considers her this, since she was upset about Viserys' demise in spite of him being a Big Brother Bully to her.
- Lady and Knight: She may consider Logan a substitute big brother, they still fit this, since she's a highborn girl and he her faithful protector.
- Last of Her Kind: After Viserys' death, she's the last remnant of House Targaryen. Subverted with The Reveal about Jon Snow's true parentage as well as Mystique being Duncan Targaryen's daughter and Magneto being a Blackfyre, so they are her distant relatives.
- Like Brother and Sister: Her relationship with Logan, who enjoys telling her crude jokes and protects her.
- Never a Self-Made Woman: Actually aims to subvert this, as her greatest fear is that she'll always be defined by the actions of others and her relation to them rather than her own.
- Never Gets Drunk: Once she starts keeping a flame in her stomach she no longer gets intoxicated, as any wine she drinks gets consumed by the fire before it enters her system.
- Playing with Fire: After unlocking her mutant powers, she can control fire in addition to her canon immunity to it.
- Required Secondary Powers: Alongside her pyrokinesis is a complete invulnerability to fire and heat. This allows her to make contact with the flames she controls and even keep fire in her stomach as a back-up.
- Troll: She gets back at the pretentious denizens of Qarth by carrying out conversations in Dothraki (which they don't understand) and coming up with her own ridiculous rituals that the Pureborn's messengers have to go through to talk to her.
- Wreathed in Flames: Following a Die or Fly moment courtesy of the Juggernaut, her powers evolve and she becomes a lot more like the Human Torch.
- Xenafication: By the end of Book 2, she's become more combat active in things, thanks to her fire powers. By the time Book 3 starts, she's even alters her clothing to reflect this, abandoning dresses in favour of Khal-like outfits.
Logan
Logan, the Wolverine
Dany's loyal bodyguard, Logan has no memory of his past before he joined the Dothraki.- Adaptational Wimp: He starts as a perfectly vanilla human, his "claws" being three blades linked together. That is, until the bonfire activates his mutant gene while fusing the blades to his new retractile bone claws. Please note that said "Wimpification" is merely comparison to his comic counterpart- he's still highly feared and skilled otherwise.
- Badass Normal: Before he met Dany or gained his mutant powers, he was famous amongst the Dothraki for killing twenty men in the span of a minute.
- Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Averted in Book 2, after his mutation triggered. Jorah started to call him Wolverine - for a diminutive species of bear from his birth island - and Dany's khalasar followed suit.
- Deadpan Snarker: He is brutal, ruthless, and experienced on the battlefield... but he will never stop trying to take the piss out of a situation.
- Disappeared Dad: Unknown to him, he is Lyanna Mormont's father.
- Friend to All Children: The aforementioned twenty men he killed? It was because they offered children as slaves to Khal Drogo, so he would not attack their city.
- Healing Factor: Near the end of Book 1, he gains this after his mutation is activated.
- Identity Amnesia: His past and identity before joining the Dothraki is a complete mystery to even himself. He lived in Westeros at some point.
- Like Brother and Sister: For all his crass behavior, he's much more supportive and protective of Daenerys than Viserys ever was.
- One-Man Army: Killing around one hundred men to bring the guy responsible for Drogo's demise back to Dany? Definitely this.
- Papa Wolf: He definitely qualified when he murdered twenty slavers for offering children as merchandise to his khalasar. He also freaks out when the Undying give him a vision of a daughter he might have. And of course, he's devoted to Dany's protection.
- Platonic Life-Partners: No sexual desire whatsoever towards Daenerys. He only wants to protect her.
- Super-Senses: While his senses were already at the peak of what any human could achieve, his mutation made him an "apex predator", as Dany calls him.
- Undying Loyalty: He jumped into the funeral pyre with Daenerys only because he swore himself to her.
- Would Not Hit a Girl: He won't hurt women or children. The only exception he makes is when he attacks the woman who tries to kill Daenerys.
- Wolverine Claws: He starts off with a hand-held set before the bonfire makes his mutation kick in, fusing the metal to his bone claws.
Jorah Mormont
Ser Jorah Mormont
An exiled Westerosi knight who serves as Dany's adviser.- Armor-Piercing Question: When Daenerys refuses to believe her family was filled with madmen because Viserys always told her otherwise, Jorah asks why she would rather believe her abusive brother who tried to murder her unborn child instead of an entourage with genuine love for her.
- Butt-Monkey: He becomes a favorite target of Wade's mockery, with references to Iain Glen's other roles.
- Composite Character: The vision in the House of the Undying shows that he's going to become this world's equivalent of Cable.
- Eye Scream: Loses his left eye when the Juggernaut rampages in Meereen and causes rock shrapnel to fly everywhere.
- Future Badass: While plenty badass already, he's shown to become the Westeros version of Cable in the House of the Undying visions of the future.
- The Exile: As per canon, was exiled from Westeros for trading in slaves.
- Mistaken for Racist: Wade accuses him of being racist after killing Black Tom (who, it should be noted, isn't actually black).
- Number Two: Is Daenerys' chief adviser, whom she plans to make her Hand when she retakes her family's throne.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Even after all his screw-ups, his greatest wish is regaining his father's love and pride.
Viktor Vondam
Viktor Vondam, aka Doom
The last of a noble house of the Vale who fled to Essos after being horrifically burned and approaches Dany for an alliance.- 24-Hour Armor: He's always wearing his armor, which helps hide his many scars.
- Adaptational Heroism: He was friends with Jon Arryn and is thus far allied with the heroic Daenerys, though we'll see how far that goes. Mr. Chaos has stated that his interpretation of Doom is that he's a morally grey hero of his own story, willing to make the hard choices so that his people can prosper.
- Alliterative Name: Viktor Vondam.
- Aloof Ally: Viktor is primarily interested in improving his adopted home Qarth rather than travel with Daenerys on her quest for the throne. But he still gives Dany advice and a loan for her trip to Slaver's Bay after she helped deliver Qarth to him.
- Body Horror: He wears a full set of armor to hide the scars from a blacksmith accident.
- Brutal Honesty: He states upfront to Dany that he considered her brother Rhaegar a fool who was unworthy of his allegiance, and her father a madman who very likely caused the death of her mother, thanks to his frequent abuse of his wife. He also tells her that her kind heart is a weakness, and warns her not to edit her past to make Viserys sound like a victim when he wasn't. He also doesn't hold back on telling Dany the full truth about the madness of House Targaryen.
- Composite Character: Takes the part of Doctor Doom and Xaro as the one who invites Dany into Qarth. Not interested in marrying her though.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: From an exiled lord of Westeros, to a mocked vagabond to King of Qarth. All thanks to his brilliance and Iron Will.
- Gender Is No Object: He doesn't actually dismiss Dany's claim to the Iron Throne just because she's a woman. This attitude stems from his mother having been the true power in his house.
- Last of His Kind: Jorah is flabbergasted when he reveals his birth name, since House Vondam was believed to be extinct.
- The Mentor: A very no-nonsense, rather harsh one towards Daenerys.
- Noodle Incident: Has had past encounters with Illyrio Mopatis who is apparently this universe's version of Franklin Storm and his children.
- No-Sell: The visions of the House of the Undying have no effect on him, as he's too in control of himself to be hindered by old fears or seduced by his desires.
- Oh, Crap!: A very subdued one, but the prospect of encountering Magneto - which he sees in the House of the Undying - doesn't exactly thrill him.
- The Rival: Very much dislikes Rickard Reed and his team, though they aren't personal enough to be arch enemies yet.
- Take Over the City: In chapter 49 of A Crack of Thunder, he seizes control of Qarth from the Pureborn and the Guild when they weaken themselves fighting each other following the deaths of the Warlocks and Thirteen.
- Third-Person Person: Occasionally does this, using his nickname.
Wade
Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool
First seen in a vision in the House of the Undying, Wade is a sellsword who pledges himself to Daenerys at Yunkai.- Body Horror: Daenerys is horrified by his scarred body even more than by Viktor's, describing it as a combination of Greyscale, the Melting Wax, the Cracking, and a few others. Even her dragons wince at seeing him unmasked.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: He's constantly referencing the story's author, and even gets into an argument with him in one chapter's opening notes.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Deadpool is still just as wacky as ever. Not only is he insane, he is constantly making inane comments or sexually harassing other key advisors. However, he knows the ways of war quite well, demonstrating tactical knowledge of foes in a concise way that keeps Daenarys's group safe. Moreover, he was the one to raise the concern that Daenerys' growing dragons had to learn who and what they were allowed to eat, and not. Particularly to ensure they did not start eating people under her protection. This competence is a large part of why she tolerates him.
- Composite Character: He's a mercenary captain who attaches himself to Dany's retinue, so it seems that he's both Deadpool and Daario. Though unlike Daario, Wade isn't nearly as charming.
- Fourth-Wall Observer: The rest of the group thinks of him as a religious zealot who believes his own god Chaos controls everything in the world. In fact, in classic Deadpool fashion he's talking about Mr. Chaos, the story's own author. Seen even more when he hopes his upcoming fight will be as good as Magneto's attack at Harrenhal, which he should have no way of knowing about.
- Healing Factor: As per canon, he is able to heal several life ending injuries like being impaled by many swords and knives.
- Hidden Depths: Surprises Dany when he casually reveals he's fluent in Old Valyrian.
- Klingon Promotion: Kills the leaders of the Second Sons and Stormcrows so that he can take control of both companies.
- My Nayme Is: Averted. As he lampshades, his name doesn't have a "y" thrown in to make it sound more exotic.
- No-Sell: He heals so well that being impaled through both chest and back at the same time just annoys him.
- Walking Armory: He has a ridiculous amount of swords and knives on his outfit.
- Wild Card: This is Wade's pitch to Daenerys on why he'd be good on her Small Council. Her advisors are cautious, overly loyal or lack creativity. But he can pitch the outside the box plans to give her better ways to win.
Domino
Domino
A slave used as a translator by the Good Masters of Astapor, who is recruited into Daenerys' service when she liberates the city.- Action Girl: Was partially trained as an assassin after being enslaved, before being recruited as a translator instead.
- Adaptational Badass: Missandei isn't a fighter and simply serves as Dany's herald, while Domino was trained as an assassin by her first master.
- Born Lucky: Events always play out for the best for her, even if at times it doesn't initially appear so. She can weaponize this during battle, her actions triggering chains of events which wipe out enemies while helping allies.
- Composite Character: Her physical description and initial role as translator shows that she is Missandei with Domino's luck power.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Appears in one of the future visions in the House of the Undying in Book 2, but isn't properly introduced until Book 3.
- Supreme Chef: Somehow manages to make great bacon with just some expired cheese and flour. Even she doesn't know how.
Grey Worm
Grey Worm
The commander of the Unsullied forces that Daenerys liberates from Astapor.- Gag Penis: If you believe Deadpool. Which may not be advisable.
- The Stoic: As per canon, he almost never shows emotion. Except when dealing with Wade.
- Undying Loyalty: Is utterly dedicated to Daenerys.
Chaos
Chaos
Wade's god... or at least that's what everyone assumes, considering he is always referencing him being in control of things. In reality the author of the story.- Author Avatar: I mean, look at the description box above! He's the one who can move things around.
- The Ghost: Canon, anyway. In non-canon Wade and Chaos have bickered.
Barristan Selmy
Ser Barristan Selmy
A former member of the Kingsguard to both the Mad King and Robert Baratheon, before being dismissed by Joffrey. He eventually joins Daenerys in Meereen to pledge his loyalty to her.- My Country, Right or Wrong: How he justified joining Robert after Aerys and Rhaegar's deaths — loyalty to the realm as a whole rather than its monarch. This is why he's sought out Dany, wishing to provide Westeros with a good ruler in light of the impending long winter.
- My Greatest Failure: Barristan makes it clear on their first meeting that he regrets not joining Daenerys and Viserys in exile when they were children.
Bruce
Bruce of Tarth, aka the Hulk
A minor Westerosi lord who traveled to Old Valyria is search of a cure for his cousin Brienne's illnesses. He succeeded, but in the process was cursed to transform into a massive green beast known as the Hulk when he gets angry. Becomes Meereen's champion so he has an opportunity to defect to Daenerys in exchange for a pardon and permission to return home to Westeros.- Berserk Button: The High Sparrow is this to Bruce, due to how he treated Brienne when she was a sickly child. When speaking of him, Daenerys can tell that the anger he's showing is his, not the Hulk's.
- Big Brother Instinct: He braved Valyria in spite of the extremely high odds for him to suffer a Fate Worse than Death because he wanted to cure his cousin Brienne from her debilitating weakness. He succeeded beyond his wildest dream, only to be forced in exile and away from her — leading him to join Daenerys as the Targaryen queen is his best bet to get a pardon and be reunited with Brienne.
- The Exile: Courtesy of Jaehaerys the Wise's edict, none who visited Valyria's shores is allowed to go back to Westeros. He decides to join Daenerys' party as she would get him a pardon for this.
- Find the Cure!: He couldn't stand the idea of Brienne dying or being bedbound for her whole life, so he went everywhere he thought had a potential way to help her. He finally stumbled upon the answer when he visited Valyria.
- The Ghost: After being first mentioned by Brienne halfway through Book 2, he doesn't appear until Chapter 46 of Book 3.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Valyria is implied to be a wasteland filled with Eldritch Abominations unleashed when the Valyrians opened a door better left alone, so going there is a guarantee of a gruesome demise. Bruce lived to tell the story of his adventure.
- Split Personality: How Bruce describes the Hulk.
