Makes No Sansa Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I think the Tattered Prince is what his name says he is: a Prince. It was there for us to see, as well as him keeping his name a secret, speaking High Valyrian, having a special fondness for Westerosi people...I think he is a descendant of Aerion Brightflame Targaryen who was exiled/sent on holidays by his father Maekar I to Lys and had a son. He could also be Rhaegar himself, but that would mean all his background story is all made up, but who knows.I just happen to think he is a Targaryen, no matter how tired you are of freaking secret Targaryens, LOL.

Lady Wylla Manderly Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Lame answer but yeah... I AM sick of secret!Targs theories. One or maybe TWO of them has merit, but the rest are just... I mean if it were that simple, we would have found some of Brandon Stark's (Ned's bro) said bastards scattered around the North as well. I think sometimes a sellsword is just a sellsword.

He is no ordinary sellsword, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, or sometimes a silver haired person is just a silver haired person, etc...Fine irony, bro, but if he was chosen to be Prince of Pentos, then, whether he is a Targaryen or not he will be important, at least for the Essosi thing going on. Remember he wants to take Pentos not as Prince but as King. Our fellow poster the Scorpion King made a good point, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply didn't have much opinions/theories about this and I have seen too much of secret!Targ theories so I took the easy way out and decided not to believe it until it's proven. Bro.

Bright Blue Eyes Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 There is another secret Targ. Right during Cerseis walk of shame, halfway to the Red Keep. The silver-haired guy there. He stands next to a fat woman with a beard. That's probably his dragon.What, why don't you believe me? Everybody knows any person in Westeros is a secret Targ, unless they are Syrio Forel, a Faceless Man and probably still a Targ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Eater Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I think the tattered is the former good brother of illyrioThat's a plausible theory.I think the Tattered Prince is who we have been told he is. I also have had enough of the secret Targ theories with no evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter209 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hot damn.How old is he, again?No age given for Gerion, but the Tattered Prince is 53."The Windblown went back thirty years, and had known but one commander, the soft-spoken, sad-eyed Pentoshi nobleman called the Tattered Prince. His hair and mail were silver-grey, but his ragged cloak was made of twists of cloth of many colors, blue and grey and purple, red and gold and green, magenta and vermilion and cerulean, all faded by the sun. When the Tattered Prince was three-and-twenty, as Dick Straw told the story, the magisters of Pentos had chosen him to be their new prince, hours after beheading their old prince."
