He and Tyrion travelled to Meereen, and despite being separated in Volantis, the two eventually joined Daenerys's Small Council, ruling in her name following her disappearance. He was a skilled manipulator and commanded a network of informants across two continents.Īlthough he feigned support for her assassination while serving under King Robert Baratheon, Varys's true loyalties were eventually revealed to be to Daenerys Targaryen (though she herself is initially unaware of this), as he believed her rule would be the best way to preserve peace and prosperity in the Seven Kingdoms. Varys, popularly known as the Spider, was the eunuch Master of Whisperers on the Baratheon Small Council until he was forced to flee King's Landing with Tyrion Lannister. ' Storms come and go, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling.' ―Varys to Tyrion Lannister
