As noted elsewhere, he's like a blue-haired, sober Jack Sparrow.

And you gotta have blue hair.  

[Alex Baratheon]

But...Jack Sparrow isn't the same when he's sober.
And I hate the blue hair.

I hate Dario Naharis. A lot.

That is all. I better go.

[JKeats]

He's got that blinged out grill all the honeys loves.

You're a bad person.

So is Daario.
He butchered the other mercenary leaders and defected to Danny's side. Just to get in her pants. Why else is he there? She was blind enough to begin with, and now he's seduced her and made the whole thing even worse. The girl can't think straight.

But, I hope the Yunkai'i send him back to her. Via catapult.

And why do YOU like him so much? Just because of the hair?

He's not my favorite character, but I never understood all the hatred.

Strongbad said it best.

Oh, well, I also like the cocky, arrogant guys.  So sue me!

Daario seems to be a pretty simple, straightforward guy in his manner and in his appetites. I guess I can see the appeal for a teenage girl who seems to have a thing for bad boys, but the guy just makes me gag. He sends up all kinds of warning flags as a man who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near power.

Just about everyone makes stupid mistakes at some point in their romantic lives, and Dany's no different in that regard, but the stakes are so much higher. Her mistakes and her indiscretions when it comes to Daario have the potential to hurt a lot more people than just her. Her willingness to put it all of that on the line for such a jerk is bound to be annoying to many readers.

I'm not big on wishing death on characters, but Daario is one I wouldn't miss.

[drigoly]

i like him, he is just too cool to hate ^^

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She's blinded by his attitude, all of his bad boy behavior seems charming to her. But, she was actually thinking of sacrificing the rest of the Yunkai'i hostages for Dario. I don't know, I've always thought that if it weren't for him, Danny wouldn't be in the mess she's in now.

Um.  No.

For better or for worse, Daenerys owns responsibility for her own circumstances.  If anything, if I recall correctly, Daario was trying to get her to stop sitting around and coddling the half-conquered slavers anyway.

"Have you forgotten who I am?"

"No.  Have you?"

Sorry, I think he's an ass. I don't want him to die a horrible death or anything but he gets on my nerves quite a lot.

I don't have the exact quote, but IIRC, he was the one who told her to go ahead with the wedding to Hizdahr and use the gathering to " clean house " , getting rid of most of the Meeren nobility who he suspected of supporting the Sons of the Harpy. He wanted her to stay there, so he could go ahead with another Red Wedding.
That would have put her in a lot deeper shit than she was in.

Kittyhat, count me in for Daario's fan club

I like the hair, the clothes, the arrogance, everything! well, maybe not the golden tooth...
the thing with arrogant guys is that either you want them so bad just to break them or just to feel wicked yourself. And don't get me wrong, this is not my attitude in real life, just a feeling... and I also like the fact he's dangerous and lethal. You never get bored when you have Daario around. Of course there's a great possibility losing your head... both metaphorically or literally speaking...

[SerMixalot]

maybe this is GRRM's version of a "cool guy"  which is disturbing!

[The Knight of ...]

Hold on, let me caress the naked ladies on my sword hilts.

[Sworn Shield]

Well with Jorah back in town and Victarion wanting to pursue Dany, somehow I think Daario might not survive too long in the next book.

[Noimporta]

I don't get the Jack Sparrow comparisons. Jack is whimsical, witty, and has a crazy unpredictability that makes him charming. Daario has a blue beard.

[Affcwasmyfavorite]

I'm in the camp that hopes he gets sent back to his Queen via catapult as well >
Though his death isn't worth the loss of her bloodrider or unsullied captain or whatever he was.

I'd love to see Daario try and fight/tame one of her dragons though then get bit in half..he's a neat character but I view him more as a speedbump in Dany's road to Westeros.

Isn't Daario whimsical, witty and crazy unpredictable (that makes him charming)??? and on the top of that he has a blue beard! he's a post punk rock idol!!!
