#Tyrion lannister quotes honor janos slynt full#
~Tyrion Lannisterĭeath is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. the Hound, and Gregor Clegane, a.k.a.I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come. No doubt he'll be joining Jon Snow's escapades in later volumes-for now though, happy sailings, Slynt. Realizing Slynt is Cersei's man to the core, Tyrion removes Slynt from his command and forces him to join the Night's Watch (9.Tyrion.59). Commander of the City Watch Janos SlyntĮven by Seven Kingdoms's standards, Janos Slynt's tenure on the small council was brief. As the Mountain men drag the Grand Maester away, he screams, "ll I've done has been for Lannister…" (26.Tyrion.162). Tyrion decides to have Pycelle thrown in the black cells. Even so, Pycelle did not have a hand in Robert's death nor did he poison Jon Arryn (26.Tyrion.153). Busted.īringing his Mountain men with him, Tyrion confronts Pycelle and learns that the old maester has been helping the Lannisters for years. When Cersei accosts him about the information found in Pycelle's story, he knows who the traitor on the council is. Tyrion weeds out Pycelle's true allegiance when he feeds Varys, Pycelle, and Littlefinger three different versions of the same story. Grand Maester PycelleĪs the Grand Maester, Pycelle is honor bound to serve the realm and the king, but Tyrion discovers that he's been in the Lannisters' corner for years now. So good luck holding on to that realty, buddy. While it may seem like Petyr is moving up in the world, let's not forget that Harrenhal has had like four owners in this novel alone. For his help in the negotiations, Petyr is granted the castle of Harrenhal and the title Lord Paramount of the Trident (66.Sansa.35). He crafts the story that Stannis's daughter is the result of a premarital affair between Lady Selyse and Patchface, and he also negotiates with Mace Tyrell, convincing the lord to switch sides to the Lannisters'. Petyr's exploits during A Clash of Kings are few. So, yeah, there's some bad blood brewing there. Tyrion does not trust Petyr-he knows Petyr betrayed Ned Stark and that he convinced Catelyn the dagger used by Bran's would-be assassin belonged to Tyrion (18.Tyrion.104). He's a master manipulator and perhaps the most devious man in the Seven Kingdoms. Littlefinger, than we did in A Game of Thrones. We don't learn much more about Petyr Baelish, a.k.a. All we can say is that we hope they are answered soon because this guy totally intrigues us. But how does becoming the Master of Whisperers help that cause? Why does he aid Tyrion, and is he even aiding Tyrion at all? By the end of A Clash of Kings, we cannot answer these questions. He hates magic and those who practice it. That's the closest we get to understanding where Varys's loyalties lie and why he does what he does. If Lord Stannis is one such, I mean to see him dead." (45.Tyrion.28)
All I can say for a certainty is that he called it, and it answered, and since that day I have hated magic and all those who practice it. Was it a god, a demon, some conjuror's trick? I could not tell you and I know all the tricks. Not of the sorcerer, nor his blade, nor even the way my manhood shriveled as it burned. "Yet I still dream of that night, my lord. Left to die, Varys resolved to live, becoming a thief and later a spy once he understood the value of information when compared to gold. The man took Varys home, drugged him, cut off his manhood, and fed it to the flames, chanting all the while. While a boy apprenticing with an actors' troupe, Varys was sold to a mysterious man.
We also learn how Varys became a eunuch in A Clash of Kings. He ultimately admits to Varys, "I feel as though you are the best friend I have in King's Landing, and sometimes I feel you are my worst enemy" (16.Tyrion.138). Yet Tyrion cannot decide where Varys's true loyalty lies. Varys professes that his loyalty is to the realm and that he served both Jon Arryn and Eddard Stark as best he could (9.Tyrion.92). And, of course, he always has a juicy secret to whisper in Tyrion's ear.īut Tyrion still questions whether he should trust Varys as much as he does. Varys also helps Tyrion gain control of the city watch by setting up Ser Jacelyn Bywater as its commander. Varys helps him protect Shae by setting up a secret route to her manse, and later he arranges for her to enter Lady Tanda's service in the Red Keep. Well, that might not be accurate, but he's certainly the political ally Tyrion uses the most. Varys, the Master of Whisperers, is Tyrion's most trusted political ally in King's Landing. Under the reigns of King Robert and King Joffrey, they've mostly just been ruling the realm thanks to the king's lack of interest: Master of Whisperers Varys The small council is a group of advisers who help the king administrate the Seven Kingdoms.
