@@pnut3844able well, for starters he is a common person. Who had to learn to be a thief and a spy to survive as he traveled along with a troop of actors. He then became a minister across the narrow sea in Pentos, due to his spies, thieves, and political connections there. Once he was noticed as a good spymaster for Pentos he was brought over to serve the realm. He has hundreds, if not thousands of common people on his payroll. He would go and speak with those in Kingslanding nightly, while wearing disguises. So he could leave the keep unseen and return unnoticed. He also hears messages and intelligence from across all 7 realms from his little birds. Meaning he is the most well informed man in the court, and Kingdom for that matter, He is the only “lord”, who was elevated from among the commoners. And the only one to actually interact with them, more than To say “Fetch my horse boy”.

They made the other queen...older.. but as beautiful as she was distasteful. Qweenly , overconfident, controlling, arrogant and antisocial. They knew that you wouldn't choose her. Yet the qween you choose was obviously the worst...she was so bad that , unlike Cersi, her own people turned on her...including the spider...the imp...and even John Snow...a man who loved her. Her own nephew. Cersis brother came back to her and most of her people died fighting. Your hatred for the Scrip is misplaced. You are really angry because you made a bad choice..

When you see his reaction to the script behind the scenes you can tell the emotions this man portrayed on screen were genuine.

[@bbcoward2954]

If you have dedicated your years to studying history, fables, the humanities and philosophies, then you will relate to this scene. The sacrificial lamb is likely always the lamb that is more self-aware than the others. Tyrion was just the clever fox who chose to self-preserve and observe rather than act. It took the burning of Kings Landing and the death of his brother for him to stand up. But Varis was not a coward and put everything on the line knowing the consequences. It begs the question of us all of how we wish to live our finite lives. The greatest player of the game was undone by a character who believed she was entitled and beyond human, because of her last name and blood magic... That is until Jon put a sword in her belly. She was no great ruler. Instead, she followed her bloodline and became a narcissistic leader who was feared. All she had was a dragon, an army of countless eunuchs and nomadic horse soldiers who lived from plundering. Jon did not demand respect, but earned it, despite being a "bastard" by living and judging on principle. And even Jon was killed because of this but was given another chance by the red priestess. So let this be a lesson to you: Be careful of who you serve and who plays the role of Tyrion in your life. And when it is your time to be burned, do not be afraid, mad, or sad. Meet your fate as boldly as you lived your life.

Your comment had me in tears. Well said.

[@theeimp]

Varys was done so dirty! I don't blame Conleth Hill (the actor) for his disgust. He was the only character who truly put the Realm before everything. He handled his coming death with grace and dignity. The fact he didn't blame Tyrion and still called him friend showed what a class act he was.

[@jackbennett2269]

His speech feels like a speech directly to DnD about his character

[@kishacallwood4017]

One of the MOST HEART WRENCHING Moments ever in GOT. It still wrecks me. Poor Varys. Maybe if he had saved Ned Stark, his outcome would have been different.

[@ibakan]

That's hilarious. Dark...and hilarious.

[@nicobaby350]

Hilarious...he would die sooner

[@crim1188]

Yeah he would've in season 2

[@SouthpawLD]

yeah.. he' would've lost his head too.

[@3baxcb]

​@@SouthpawLD If Varys had succeeded in killing Daenerys, Jon would have certainly cut off his head. Nevertheless, the end would have been about the same except for the brutal assault of Kings Landing.

[@patricklagerberg4387]

Bro was one of the 3 best characters up with Tyrion, man deserved better

[@Blutrache]

Varys is this kind of character you couldn't like so much at the beginning, like Jaime Lannister, but after some events or some choices they've made you can clearly see there is good into them. The more you follow the seasons, the more you start loving them.

Change can be sublet, slow, unnoticed. Even in death she was unaware of the monster she was becoming. Righteousness is a double edged sword.

[@lrlavalais2068]

​@@benmamarsofiane7689Did you not see Game of thrones? How do you guys watch these videos without knowing what's going on? He knew Jon Snow was heir to the 7 kingdoms and was Aegon Targaryen, and he was going to poison this power hungry dragon bitch. His best friend told.

[@Marvolo14]

Actually he was wrong. His betrayal on top of Messandei's death is what made Dany snap. Varys caused the very thing he was trying to stop. And he ignored the fact that Jon did not want to be king.

[@lesigh1749]

@@Marvolo14 Jon doesnt get to not want it, thats why everything screwed up. Danny was ilegitimate, so the realm was going to have more war at some point, theres no way around that. But then she also turned into a tyrant making Varys even more right and Jon even more stupid.

@@Marvolo14Insanity runs in the Targaryen blood, most of them were products of incest and is prone to ego driven violent power trips. Look at her brother, her father, all of them met the same end.

One of the most brilliant actor and character in the show

[@toussaintdaniel7201]

Les deux meilleurs hommes de cette série. Deux grands politiciens. Tyrion, un modèle de courage et d'honnêteté, à un point que son personnage devient carrément poétique. Varys est un grand démocrate, ardent défenseur et fils du peuple.

[@DDDD-hv3ub]

Never seen a scene that screamed, 'we don't know what to do with this character and the show is ending!' More than this one.

[@dirtyvachyna]

I like how varys sending word to all the lord's that Jon is the rightful heir led to literally nothing but his demise. superb writing as always.

[@user-op6kt8pg9y]

​​@@pnut3844ablexactly people though main character she must be a good person, when in reality she started off the first few episodes as an actual victim and pretty much slave but then as she started gaining power her saviour complex grew and grew, take season 3 ep 10 for example when she liberated yunkais slaves and they all hold her above them that was met by massive backlash because it was seen as another white saviour story but that's literally what daenerys sees herself as this foreign saviour come to free everybody so she can be the perfect leader she sees herself as
