kleevedge Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Varys is a boy, I feel since losing his testicles so early he didn't have a chance to properly go through puberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A woman sidled into the light; plump, soft, matronly, with a round pink moon of a face and heavy dark curls. Tyrion recoiled. 'Is something amiss,' she asked. Varys, he realized with annoyance. 'For one horrid moment, I thought you had brought me Lollys instead of Shae …'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would certainly be a no. 6 hours ago, HelenaExMachina said: I've been trying to post this reply for two days, clearly there is a conspiracy to bury the thread Thank you so much!

You've voted in most of my threads so far, and I do appreciate it. I have an ambition to some day find an unpopular theory that you will actually support. Any suggestions? I'm okay with simply voting up or down on your polls which are based on crackpot and/or unpopular theories. I don't generate a whole lot of theories myself because I am content to wait and see how GRRM presents new information in the upcoming books.

But of course there's no penalty for being wrong, either. You don't even have to cut off your nose. I'm considering polling "Bolt-On" at some point. Surely, you'll support that!

BalerionTheCat Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I believe him an eunuch. I believe him a Blackfyre child. Sold into slavery with his sister after Maelys' defeat. He became an unsullied and was bought by Illrio. His mummer story and childhood friendship with the cheese monger is fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall any clues to him being a Blackfyre child or him being raised Unsullied but we do know that, like Varys, the Unsullied all receive a "root and stem" castration so it is possible that his story of being castrated by a sorcerer is a fabrication and he really does have that warrior background. Unsullied who work as household guards are known to succumb to the only vice left to them which is food and often grow fat. If Varys was once an Unsullied maybe he has a name in his past like Cockroach or Rat Tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had Rhaegar's son in keeping, he would not have tried to unlash Dothrakis and as mad as his father Viserys. Illrio doesn't seem to run a charity institution either. These two seem particularly set to reign on Westeros, thru their fake Aegon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to "no", but wouldn't it be more fun to turn out wrong and have Varys luring all Margaerys, Myrcellas or Ariannes into a marriage race against each other just to marry Aegon himself at the end?

You mean there is a textually established incident of a young girl temporarily adopting the disguise of a young boy among complete strangers, one of whom (Gendry) still manages to see through her ruse after a few weeks. It's not as if Varys would have to maintain his disguise for decades under intense scrutiny at the heart of Government where one false slip would be all a rival like LF needed to get rid of him or one jolly jape by Aerys or Robert at his expense would have a rather awkward denouement.

I was only making a little joke, not a serious argument. But I guess you're trying to tell me you're in the "no" camp. If so, then thank you for your vote.
