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."

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 I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things. ~ Tyrion Lannister “I’ve got every kind of filth down here except the kind I like” ~ Tyrion Lannister I am the god of tits and wine” ~ Tyrion Lannister “We’ve had vicious kings, and we’ve had idiot kings, but I don’t know if we’ve ever been cursed with a vicious idiot for a king!” ~ Tyrion Lannister “Why Is It that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what’s on the other side?” ~ Tyrion LannisterĬut off his manhood and feed it to the goats ~ Tyrion LannisterĪ mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone.The small council is a group of advisers who help the king administrate the Seven Kingdoms.
