I don't mind justifications being given, but I don't want this thread to be a back and forth debate about who someone is. To sort things a bit, we can categorize these into unknown identities, where we know no public identity for them, and double identities, people we have a name and identity for that may have a true name and other identity we do not know. The ones I can think of are below. Note that I'm using multiple question marks to indicate I have no idea, and undecided to indicate I haven't decided between multiple theories. Unknown Identities: The Hooded Man - Undecided The Corsair King - ??? The Shrouded Lord - Gerion Lannister Quaithe - Undecided Coldhands - ??? Double Identities: Septon Lemore - Ashara Dayne Daario Naharis - Many believe he's Euron Greyjoy Lem Lemoncloak - Ser Richard Lonmouth Haldon Halfmaester - Wales Flowers The Alchemist / "Pate" - Jaqen H'Ghar Hooded Man- Theon Durden or Harwin Corsair King- Gerion Lannister Shrouded Lord- ??? Quaithe- ??? Coldhands- Unknown Raven's teeth captain Septa Lemore- Tyene's mom Daario- Daario Lem- Lonmouth, a nobody, or a bastard of House Dalt...which is the same as a nobody. Haldon- Haldon Alchemist- The Jaq attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevets Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Elder Brother - ????? Could be a known historical figure. Sailor's Wife - Tysha. I don't think she is, but many readers do. Septa Lemore - Ashara Dayne. Tyrion clearly thinks she is someone he knows of, and I don't think the lack of eye color or her age is enough to eliminate Ashara. Hooded Man - ???? I am pretty sure it is someone we have met. Lem Lemoncleak - Richard Lonmouth. makes sense to me Daario Naharis and Ser Shadrick "Mad Mouse" - Nobody in particular. They are who they appear to be.

Thinking about it more though, Tyrion pretty much deduces that she isn't who she claims to be...and for her background to not be revealed it would have to IMO be pretty important. She's a head scratcher for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shrouded Lord - Gerion Lannister Quaithe - Undecided Every time I see somebody bring up this "Gerion Lannister is the Shrouded Lord" thing, my eyes roll so hard that they fall off my damn skull. I know it's fun to theorize about wild stuff and the long wait 'till the next book isn't helping but jesus christ people. There's like negative 0000000.1% proof for this one. Not everyone that disappears from our story is some hidden powerful figure waiting to come back. The Shrouded Lord is literally just a myth, like the lion of the night or any other god/devil in our story. And even if he WAS someone we knew.. what purpose would he serve to Tyrion's story? He's not gonna sail back down the Rhoyne any time soon. Same thing with the Corsair King. He's just a background figure we hear about to flesh out this new area of the world. There is no set Corsair King, in fact there have been a lot of them. They're just some pirate whose goal seems to be raiding random ports throughout the world. As for Quaithe, she does appear to be a more prominent character, but in the end, I don't think she'll turn out to be anyone from Westeros' past. Quaithe is just Quaithe, a sorceress that took notice of Dany and is taking an interest in her. It's possible that she's been working with Marwyn. In fact she may have been the one to first alert him about Dany through the glass candles, but that's really it. Her being Ashara Dayne or Shiera Seastar or whoever else would just be lame.

I agree with most of what you have to say about Quaithe, except I think she's working with Euron. Euron is the most threatening figure Moqorro sees coming to Dany, but he is the only one Quaithe doesn't warn Dany about. Also, Euron has picked up Pyat Pree and the other wizards. For him to have done that he would have had to be in the Qarth/Slaver's Bay area around the time Dany was there. So it is definitely possible that Euron and Quaithe have met. Is it possible that Marwin and Quaithe have met, but time spent in Asshai is the only known similarity between these two characters. As far as who told Marwin about Dany, it was Sam. Marwin may have seen something through the glass candles, but it wasn't until he talked to Sam that he felt the need to head to Dany immediately.

Well, Quaithe does warn her about not trusting the "kraken." The more obvious choice is Victarion, but it may also be a plural and hint at Euron. Her working with Euron is not a bad theory though. It would explain a lot of things, like how Euron threw all of his resources towards getting Dany so fast into the game and ahead of everyone else. He was actively working towards becoming king of the Iron Islands -- the first step to marrying her -- back when most of Westeros just thought she was a made-up story. He would have had to hire a faceless man right around the time she was leaving Qarth; we know Balon died somewhat early into the third book, around the time when Dany was haggling for Unsullied in Astapor. So how and why was he so sure about this girl before everyone else? Quaithe telling him about it while she was leaving Qarth would tie it all together. Also the Pyat Pree connection. It would mean Euron trusts her and knows her well enough to launch this whole scheme into action. 2 hours ago, Lady Blizzardborn said: No faith in the author's ability to make it work and not be lame? None at all. There's already enough people coming back from the past. We don't need Ashara Dayne melodrama or whatever it is Shiera would bring to the table.

However, a re-read made me think their speech patterns were similar and someone (I wish I could remember who, I like to give credit when I can) was persist in giving a good argument and convinced me. Septa Lemore = Ashara Dayne. I am convinced on this one. It is the only answer that makes sense to me. Daario Naharis = descendent of Daemon Blackfyre's second daughter. Haldon Halfmaester = the maester of the Dun Fort at the time of the Defiance at Duskendale. I really have no evidence for this except there was a different maester in the Dun Fort at the time of the Defiance and could potentially be the only person left alive who could say what happened from the POV of those inside the Dun Fort. How did Ashara change her eye colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luddagain Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The Sailor's wife is obviously Gerion's wife - he is the sailor which means Lanna is the probable heir to Casterly rock.

By that logic Tyrion should have noticed the resemblance to Jon and Arya (mostly Jon since he didn't interact with Arya much, if at all) and commented on it. Since he didn't Lyanna is out. There's also that whole she died in her brother's arms thing to contend with. Conclusion: Lemore = Lyanna is much, much, much less likely than Lemore = Ashara. As for Melony, we don't know whether Melony is Melisandre's daughter, Melisandre herself, or really what her connection to Melisandre is at all (although Melony is probably Melisandre herself). Furthermore, how would Melony instruct someone in the Faith of the Seven since Melony was sold to a Red Temple and would therefore be a Priestess of R'hllor?

Conclusion: Lemore = Melony is not at all likely. Faking your death is way easier than changing your eye-colour/ finding someone to glamour it. We dont know what happened to Melony and we dont know who she is in relation to Melisandre - and not knowing provides a better chance than a character who has to be changed with magic to work. That said, I'm well aware that this is a story where magic and glamours do occur, but still: so far as we know there are only 3 possible ways: Melisandres glamour-tricks, the Faceless Men's faces and Bran + Varamyr skin changing humans I'd pretty much rule out the FM and skinchanging so that leaves us with glamour, which needs some form of jewellery or other clothing but Lemore doesn't wear anything in her morning bath routine.

We don't know. GRRM revealed only as much about Lemore's appearance as he wants the reader to know at this point. If GRRM didn't want Tyrion to notice Lemore's eyes he would have exposed Lemore's breasts for Tyrion to stare at. Oh, wait, he did. When the reveal on Lemore's identity is made, GRRM wants the reader to go "Wow! What?" not "Who?". Ashara is the only missing female in the book that could elicit that response in the average reader.
