Draco_Dracul Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 My bet is that is has something to do with the limits of Davos's loyalty. My guess is that Davos will be put in another Edric Storm situation, except this time the only choice is do something unconscionable for Stannis or betray him once and for all. Anyone born in Kingslanding with an unkown father could be... There's something about Davos that just bugs me.A smuggler by nature should be treacherous, not be the most honourable man in Westeros.It's constantly mentioned there are old sellswords and bold sellswords but there are no old bold sellswords.Surely there are no old honourable smugglers?Actually a bit of honor could get you far as a smuggler. If people know you aren't going to stiff them, they are less likely to gut you like a fish. If you get a reputation as being good, and keeping your end of the bargain people normally bereft of honor will be less likely to screw you because it means whoever takes your place might be the one screwing them.

Florina Laufeyson Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Davos is God. Of course! He is the god of onions and awesome. Thats an interesting little tidbit. I wonder just what Davos' big secret is. Probably something awesome because its Davos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davos has more than a bit of honour. Smuggling is all about going outside the law for personal gain but every time Davos is presented with a choice between right/honourable and personal gain or gain on the behalf of Stannis he chooses honour.

Rhaegar's Love Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 It could be that his wife and two younger sons die (I've always had a bad feeling about their survival) and that causes him to question what he has really been supporting/sacrificing for all this time. He could easily end up becoming a kingmaker, though for which king it's hard to say. Or crazy stuff ends up happening and he becomes King himself (okay, extremely unlikely but this would make me happy) or a dragonrider (again extremely unlikely). Whatever it is, I'm just glad it seems like Davos is going to become even more bamf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florina Laufeyson Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Whatever it is, I'm just glad it seems like Davos is going to become even more bamf. Yes. My dream is that he teams up with Jon. Oh man, a girl can dream. Davos is actually my third favorite character in the series. The dude is just great. Hes like Ned with a lot of street smarts. <333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSnow House Stark Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 He is actually Jons dad. Davos + Old Nan= Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude is just great. Hes like Ned with a lot of street smarts. <333 Florina Stark, I completely agree! I think it would be epic if he ended up being a figurative "Lightbringer", especially if Jon is AAR. Imagine that drama: Stannis thinks he's been wielding LB, turns out to actually be his Hand whose had enough of this noble bickering (especially after the loss of his remaining family) and helps lead the true fight against the Others. Jon takes whatever throne and makes Davos (who has taken the Stark kids under his wing and become an adoptive father to them) Hand. Yes, this is totally entering dream territory but like you said... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okaythen Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 GRRM- Dont leave the cast before the end since you will be... hmm somehwat, you know, the most important character. I don't know if this is a joke but this and/or "You are one of the few survivors" theory seems most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not in the face Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I believe in the GNC and I believe Davos will mess up all their plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuggling is all about going outside the law for personal gain but every time Davos is presented with a choice between right/honourable and personal gain or gain on the behalf of Stannis he chooses honour. Many smugglers saw themselves as performing a valuable service for the community by allowing people to get goods at a lower cost. If Davos changed significantly since his smuggler days, it's possible that's what he used to justify it to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthien Targaryen Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Stannis will go too far trying to execute Asha. Davos saves her, marries her, kills Euron and rules Pyke wisely. That would be awesome...i do hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shearstone Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Davos retrieves Rickon, The GNC happens and Stannis is told to bugger off Rickon is our King. Stannis tries to burn Rickon out of revenge and Davos kills him to stop him siding with the North? Or similar thing but Davos takes Rickon to the wall for his brother instead of Manderly and Mel tries burning him for Kings Blood and he kills Mel? My guesses but they don't strike me as secrets as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The whole asoiaf story was just a dream and at the end Davos wakes up and is the only real character, but he's actually living in 21st century lancashire, UK and is a long distance truck driver. Omg, I think I just blew the whole thing apart :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bent branch Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 This seems like an appropriate time to reveal one of my little secrets. I have been unable to shake the feeling that Davos died on the Blackwater and has somehow been resurrected. It seems like all the other gods have a representative or two somewhere around. Davos would be the representative of The Seven. I know this doesn't really make any sense (that's why I try to ignore this feeling). Anyhow, it will be fun to find out what secret GRRM told Liam Cunningham. I hope the next book comes out soon(ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a similar theory somewhere on this board but it was The drowned god not the seven that saved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
