!House Targaryen

[[folder:Daenerys]]
!!Daenerys Targaryen
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daenerys103.png]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/EmiliaClarke

Daenerys Targaryen is the final surviving member of the Targaryen family that once ruled over Westeros. Having hatched three dragons and gathered a loyal army of her own, she has begun overthrowing many of the Free Cities with the intent of abolishing slavery and one day returning home to regain the throne that her family lost.
----
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
-->'''Asher''': ''[after trying and failing to pet Viserion]'' I don't think he likes me.
-->'''Daenerys''': You still have your hand, don't you?
* InsaneTrollLogic: She believes that Asher must have provoked Drogon into attacking him and accuses Asher of having hurt her dragon if he shows her the tooth or has the one who was burned by him show their burns. Drogon is a giant fire-breathing, carnivorous Dragon.
* MamaBear: Daenerys is ''very'' defensive of her dragons.
* MovingTheGoalposts: Reneges on her deal with Asher to give him the Second Sons after completing a mission for her. That said, if you inform her that Beskha was Dezhor's former slave, or follow her orders to not kill any of the masters, she will at least compensate with enough gold to hire ''different'' mercenaries. Otherwise, she kicks them out. If you managed to win her favor, she ends up regretting this decision.
* NotSoStoic: She's largely stony-faced and maintains an icy tone, but when proof of Drogon's whereabouts is provided she shows a great deal of concern. She is also amused and slightly impressed if Asher has the courage to try and pet Viserion.
** If you managed to win her favor during Episode 5, [[spoiler: she will express genuine regret for how she treated Asher in the credits of Episode 6, thinking that things would have turned out better had she done more to help.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Averted. She is rather cold towards Asher, acting suspicious, distrusting and immovable. She becomes more reasonable if you either follow her orders not to kill any of the Masters, or inform her that Beskha was a former slave if you don't. In either of these cases, she still won't lend Asher any of ''her'' soldiers, but will reward him with enough gold to hire fighters of his own. She also retains Malcolm in her service, with the strong implication that upon her return to Westeros, she and her forces will be very strong allies for the remaining Forresters.
* WasTooHardOnHim: [[spoiler: If you won her favor during Episode 5, Daenerys' narration to Missandei during the credits of Episode 6 will have her express regret at the way she treated Asher, and she states that things probably would have turned out differently had she offered more help.]]

[[folder:Croft]]
!!Croft
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/croft104.png]]
->'''Played by:''' Adam Leadbeater

Croft is member of the Mercenary Army known as the Second Sons. He commands the Hellhounds and has a past with Asher and Bheskha. Currently in service to Daenerys Targaryen.
----
* EasilyForgiven: Asher and Bheskha took out his eye and stole from him. He doesn't seem to hold a grudge.
* EyeScream: He lost his eye at some point, which is implied to be the result of Asher's actions.
* {{Troll}}: He has Asher beaten and threatens to maim him when they reunite. Just when it seems he's about to brutalize the boy, he bursts out laughing.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** His reunion with Asher is to chew him out for the loss of his eye. He's just {{trolling}}, though.
** He calls out Beshka drinking before an important mission and deviating from the objective to kill her former master, Dezhor zo Raza.

->'''Played by:''' Jaye Jacobs

Leader of the freed pit fighters in Essos. Has a history with Beskha.
----
* ActionGirl: A surviving pit fighter, with the scars to prove it.
* AnnoyingArrows: [[spoiler:In the fight between the Forresters and Whitehills in episode 6, Amaya puts up a ''very'' good fight, lasting almost the whole battle and killing many soldiers with her spear. Unfortunately, a spear still isn't a good weapon against crossbows, and Amaya is finally killed by receiving a minor spear wound and then being shot with arrows.]]
* BashBrothers: Used to be with partners with Beskha.
* BlingOfWar: She wears a full suit of flashy golden armor.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler: Killed by arrows in the final battle.]]

!!The Beast
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/samoajoe.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250: "We'll take what we want, and kill anyone who stands in our way."]]
->'''Played by:''' Wrestling/SamoaJoe

* BadassBoast: "My master only fed me when I won. I won '''''a lot'''''".
* FatBastard: His master only fed him when he won, and he's obese.
%%* HeroicSacrifice: He's killed trying to hold the portcullis open at the Whitehills' ambush.
* ImAHumanitarian: He's strongly implied to be a cannibal.
* MadeOfIron: Capable of moving and fighting despite several incapacitating wounds.

[[folder:Bloodsong]]
!!Bloodsong
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nov_bloodsong_waiting.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "You all see this cockless Westerosi? He's come to order us to battle like our Masters did! I kill no man because another orders me to. I kill a man because it pleases me"]]
->'''Played by:''' Paul Nakauchi

High-ranking pit fighter, and current champion of Amaya's arena. Skilled with numerous weapons.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: One of his taunts to Asher is that he'd sooner "bend him over to fuck than fight". It's unclear whether it's intended for intimidation or if he legitimately thinks Asher is attractive.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: It seems he hails from Yu Ti, the setting's counterpart of Asia, and he loves to boast about himself.
* BladeOnAStick: His default and signature weapon is a glaive.
* CombatPragmatist: Fights dirty, as befitting a seasoned pit fighter, and compliments Asher if he takes the opportunity to sucker punch him before their fight officially starts.
* DuelToTheDeath: The pit fighters force Asher to fight Bloodsong in one in order to gain their respect. Asher can choose to spare him, however.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: You can literally do this to him while he's on the ground if you decide to spare him, as opposed to helping him to his feet- in fact, this is the best option for keeping the respect of [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority the rest of the fighters]] that doesn't involve killing him.
* OptionalPartyMember: If Asher decides to spare Bloodsong, he will join those going to Westeros, seeking a worthy death now that he's been disgraced among the pit fighters.
* ShamelessSelfPromoter: He really plays up the crowd, even waving to the audience during a leg triangle choke-hold.
* TrashTalk: He seems to revel in it.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:If Bloodsong was spared in episode 5, he will appear in the Battle of Ironrath in episode 6 and put up a good fight, taking down Whitehill soldiers with his spear. However, Bloodsong doesn't appear after watching the Whitehills break down the gate in horror, so it is unclear whether he lived or died in the battle.]]

!Others

[[folder:Tazal]]
!!Tazal
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tll_tazal_tavern.png]]
->'''Played by:''' Brian George

A commander in the Lost Legion with a grudge against Asher.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: After retrieving Tazal's sword Asher uses it to chop off the former's right hand.
* AssholeVictim: Few players can resist the idea of breaking his neck; he shows absolutely no redeeming factors, murdering the man that he was supposed to retrieve, stealing the gold that Asher was supposed to be paid and attempting to have Asher killed.
* DefiantToTheEnd: He continues to threaten Asher even as he lies wounded on the floor.
* KneeCapping: If you choose not to break his neck Asher will to this to Tazal instead.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: If you choose to break his knee instead of his neck, he will escape with his life and continue to have his men hunt Asher.
* StarterVillain: For Asher's storyline. Tazal usually becomes this, due to him being such an incredible asshole that players can't resist killing him. If he isn't killed, his men continue to hound Asher and Beshka until they get to Meereen.

[[folder:Dezhor zo Raza]]
!!Dezhor zo Raza
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sow_dezhor_scared.png]]
->'''Played by:''' N/A

One of Mereen's Great Masters.
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: Grovels for his life as Bheskha threatens to murder him.
* AssholeVictim: A slave master who has children battle animals and one another. You are given the choice of either leaving him alive to be punished by Daenerys, allowing Beskha to murder him in revenge for her past, or killing the bastard yourself.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Letting Beskha kill him could be seen as this.
* OhCrap: When he realises the warrior woman beating the shit out of him is a former slave he abused.
* {{Sadist}}: Said graphically by Beskha on how he would enjoy forcing kids to fight for their lives.
* SlashedThroat: One of his potential deaths.
* WouldHurtAChild: Oh yeah. He was a slaver who forced kids to fight each other to the death for his own entertainment. That literally goes without saying.
[[/folder]]

* BaldWomen: Keeps her head shaved.

* NotSoStoic: She's largely stony-faced and maintains an icy tone, but when proof of Drogon's whereabouts is provided she shows a great deal of concern.

* InsaneTrollLogic: She believes that Asher must have provoked Drogon into attacking him and accuses Asher of having hurt her dragon if he shows her the tooth. Drogon is a fire-breathing, carnivorous Dragon.

->'''Played by:''' Samoa Joe

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Averted. She is rather cold towards Asher, acting suspicious, distrusting and immovable. She becomes more reasonable if you either follow her orders not to kill any of the Masters, or inform her that Beskha was a former slave if you don't. In either of these cases, she still won't lend Asher any of ''her'' soldiers, but will reward him with enough gold to hire fighters of his own.

* {{Badass}}: Croft is an experienced mercenary, and handles himself accordingly.
** Best displayed right after Asher and Beshka destroy the brazier at the end of Episode 4. They realise that Croft hasn't joined them yet, get worried for a moment... and then the tough old bastard comes limping over, telling them to stop their bloody whimpering, 'cause he's not dead yet. Bear in mind that he just took down at least five men. With an injured leg. BY HIMSELF.

BadassArmy: They prove to be surprisingly effective against the Whitehills.
BloodKnight: Comes with spending your entire life fighting
