An eunuch and Master of Whisperers of (supposedly) Lysene origin, no one really knows who Varys is. Although he is one of the King's advisors, he is the most mysterious member of the Westerosi government - and in some cases, he ''is'' the government. He is the grand puppeteer of Westeros, and openly admits it. Unlike others who manipulate people for their own gain, Varys has much, much greater goals that are still unknown, though he claims he acts "[[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans for the Realm]]." While Littlefinger is sneaky and clever, Varys is deceptive and downright scary. He conducts himself almost in a child-like behavior, but the one asset he possesses - information on everyone - is so important that he is often more powerful than the King.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite his own ruthless and ammoral streak, Varys doesn't seem to like excessive bloodshed, and only seems to kill if he views it as necessary. When Cersei expresses her wish to put to death the Gold Cloaks deserters after the Battle of the Blackwater to make an example of them, Varys sighs and suggests that these men could still be useful should be sent to the Wall, to reinforce the Night's Watch against the Wildlings' threat, though he's ignored by Tywin. He also [[spoiler: knock out the guards watching over Tyrion instead of killing them]].

A Pentoshi merchant, trader, and money-changer who rose from nothing to become the richest man in Pentos. He was Jaehaerys I Targaryen’s Master of Coin.

* NoRespectGuy: While in Pentos he was shunned by his countrymen and denied a place in the magister’s council because of his low birth. After moving to Westeros to become Master of Coin, he had to put up with being despised by the smallfolk and blamed for everything just because he was a foreigner and didn’t worship the Seven.

Maegor's Pentoshi mistress (later the third of his wives) and Mistress of Whisperers. She was said to practice sorcery and alchemy. She was executed by her husband in 48 AC after confessing to poisoning his other wives (resulting in their children's deformities and stillbirths).
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Only mentioned in ''[[Literature/TheWorldOfIceAndFire The World of Ice & Fire]]''.
* AndShowItToYou: Maegor cut out her heart with Blackfyre and fed it to the dogs.
* AssholeVictim: She was known throughout Westeros as the only wife of Maegor who loved to partake with his cruelty onto others, so it’s so surprises that no one mourns her.

* BastardBastard: She was rumored to be the illegitimate daughter of a Pentoshi magister and she eagerly participated in Maegor's atrocities.
* BullyingADragon: Possibly a deliberate example. [[spoiler: Her confession to Maegor about poisoning his children in the wombs of his wives happens before anyone gets to torture it out of her. It's been theorized that, far from being that terrified of having to take what she's doled out all her days in King's Landing, Tyanna might have known she was a dead woman walking and so decided to goad Maegor into killing her ''quicker''.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:After admitting that she had lied about Alys's infidelity ''and'' poisoned Maegor's other wives, causing them to give birth to deformed monstrosities, Maegor cut her heart out with Blackfyre and fed it to his dogs. It's still a better fate than a lot of her victims got, though...]]
* TheDragon: To Maegor.
** CoDragons: For a time, she ruled King's Landing alongside Maegor's Hand Edwell Celtigar.
* DirtyCoward: Could dish out torture, but couldn't take it. Barely had the torturers begun to heat up the torture implements that Tyanna immediately confessed to poisoning her fellow queens.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: From a simple tavern dancer, to a courtesan, to queen of Westeros, Mistress of Whisperers, and Maegor's personal TortureTechnician.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She was the only bride of Maegor who shared his penchant for cruelty, and spent her reign torturing, killing, and conspiring to bring about the deaths of thousands.
* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Part of Tyanna framing Alys for adultery is accusing her of this, claiming that she viewed Ceryse Hightower as a threat and would have done ''anything'' to secure her place as queen, including bearing another man's son. In fact, this was Tyanna's schtick, as she clearly didn't want any of Maegor's wives to give him children if she couldn't.]]
* HighClassCallGirl: She was a courtesan in Pentos, before Alys brought her back to Westeros and Maegor made her one of his queens.
* InSeriesNickname: She was known as "the king's raven", on account of her black hair and her influence over Maegor. She was also known as the mistress of whispers and the mistress of spiders.
* LadyMacbeth: [[spoiler:Some of Maegor's worst offenses were instigated by her, including his murder of Queen Alys and her entire house after Tyanna (falsely) claimed that Alys had cheated on him.]]
* LoveInterestTraitor: [[spoiler:Tyanna was apparently Alys's lover as well as Maegor's, and Alys bringing her to Westeros helped her to become queen. Didn't stop her from apparently poisoning her sister queen to damage her pregnancy, clearly framing her for adultery, and ''definitely'' torturing her for nearly two weeks straight until she finally died.]]
* MasterPoisoner: [[spoiler:She claimed to have poisoned Maegor's other brides so that their children would be born twisted and deformed.]]
* TheMedic: She treated Maegor after he fell into a coma following his Trial by Seven against Ser Damon Morrigen and six Warrior's Sons.
* TheMistress: Served as Maegor's mistress for several years before he married her upon becoming King.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler:She lied to Maegor that Alys had cheated on him, since the stillborn child she gave birth to couldn't ''possibly'' be his. He responded by murdering Alys's entire family, with Tyanna herself torturing Alys to death. She might well have repeated the process with her husband's 'Black Brides' if it weren't for one of them, Jeyne Westerling, ''also'' giving birth to a deformed stillborn, rousing Maegor's suspicions.]]
* TheSpymaster: Worked as Maegor's Mistress of Whisperers.
* TortureTechnician: She tortured Maegor's enemies—including his nephew Prince Viserys, who she "questioned" for nine days before he died; and his second wife, Alys Harroway, who likewise died after the better part of two weeks as punishment for the stillborn child she had birthed.
