Varys survived the most dangerous rulers in Game of Thrones by mastering one powerful rule: never let anyone see which side you truly support. This deep character analysis explores how the Spider manipulated the Mad King, survived Robert Baratheon, weaponized his harmless image, built the mysterious Little Birds network, and quietly influenced the fate of Westeros. From his terrifying encounter with the Red Priestess to his final decision to support Jon Snow over Daenerys Targaryen, discover why Varys survived for decades—and why choosing a side ultimately led to his death.

It's obvious Varya was the smart one and accepted his death with much courage while writing his letters I don't know wny he left his rings. But i know he was tryinvg to posion the Dragon Queen ...ah, who knows, in the booka, we'll see. Good job, aa usual, Nick.

8:31 Why is Varyes wearing the Iron Born's sigel? Isn't that Theon's family's crest? Another curious thing caught my my eye. When we saw that man writing in that book, the writing on one page was facing him, and the other page was facing the wrong way. Believe it or not, that's an actual "Thing" . There are people who learn how to read upside down. Aside from being a cool thing to show off at parties. It's a very valuable talent to master. It's on the same level as t football coaches hire lip-readers to see what the other coaches are telling players which plaLy to use. Seeing things on blueprints or specs before the bid dare is released gives the contractors/ builders/EVERYONE a heads up on their bids because they'll know EXACTLY what they'll need to buy or rent or WHATEVER! It just means they will place a seriously excellent bid, and THAT'S how you get'er done!😅 .(....and yes. .. my dad showed me how to do it!🙃)

Spiders or any insect for that matter survive by staying in their lane. As soon as they step outside of that lane that's when they get STOMPED . He was a spider crawling all over Lions, Stags, Wolves, and Dragons and it was tolerable for a while because which one of those animals would honesty care if an itsy bitsy spider was crawling on them lol but you know what I think ? truth is, he may embody the traits and intelligence of a spider, but deep down he knows the truth.. He's A Dragon, the Spider was the ultimate cover but his pride is what got him killed. That Dragon Pride. And ironically enough, he was executed by Drogon 😂😂. Poetic Justice once again 🎉😂 BTW Dany was big on not being challenged for the throne and EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD THAT, EVERYONE BUT VARYS.

Spider had Kings blood. Only kings blood is valuable with fire and magic.
