Okay, if you haven’t yet seen Game of Thrones then you really need to get on it.
You don’t want to irritate Conleth Hill more than he’s already annoyed, do you?
Varys had an unfortunate ending at the hands of Dany.
To be fair, he was plotting behind her back.
He felt that she was going crazy, and so she had to be put down.
In the time leading up to it, he tried to convince Tyrion to side with him.
Tyrion was loyal to Dany, but he ended up being proven wrong only a few scenes later.
Dany used Drogon to burn Varys.
After all, she had promised him that if she ever found out that he betrayed her, she would burn him alive.
She stuck to her word.
