Leonardo Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Jaqen kills him weeks before Syrio even would realize there is supposed to be a fight. Assassination is all prep work; they don't waste time getting great with swords because that's too direct and unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This scenario assumes that Jaqen H'ghar is employed to assassinate Syrio Forel, but the ambush somehow fails and they are forced to actually fight each other. It wouldn't be very interesting otherwise. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't even have a sword so it's gg pretty fast hehe, tbh it's just not a good match up because the FM aren't trained to duel, they're trained to kill you and make it look like an accident.

Kikajon Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thehy are the same person actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 If Jaqen fights fair (doesn't use the poison) Syrio wins. Thehy are the same person actuallySo Syrio wins either way. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksniffer Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thehy are the same person actually Kika, now this is a theory i can get behind. since syrio is just presumed dead, and jaqan appears in cage immediately following the supposed death... ...yes it is all clear to me now...

Gustaf Stark Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It all depends on the situation, as someone above me mentioned. FM aren't really trained to fight such as the first sword of Braavos. So in a duel I think Syrio would win pretty easily. But it's an impossible question due to the fact that they're two very different types of killers.

Nah, he slew Meryn Trant and took his face. So the FM have two operatives in Westeros now, one travelling and one permanently stationed in KL. It was Syrio who alerted Jaqen that there was a talented possible recruit in the area. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
