Mrstrategy Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Which fictional character good guy or villain would makes the best chief of intelligence for ned stark if he wanted to chose a loyal Northern version of master of whispers specially to match wits with people like baelish or varys and monitors vassal like Bolton or prospective enemies like Tywin lannisters or cersei lannisters ? https://www.ranker.com/list/most-manipulative-movie-characters/anncasano https://crimereads.com/fictions-most-manipulative-masterminds/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_secret_agents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fool Stands On Giant’s Toe Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hercule Poirot was my first thought.Abbé Faria from The Count of Monte Cristo was my second. Herc would be to delicate for the North. Faria as a Maester could work. Next I thought what whispers are there to hear in the North? Only White harbor and Barrowtown. The most interesting place would be the Three Sisters. A Mercer company of crusty old hedge knights that had success as sell swords in their youth. With cargo ships to travel and gather info. Or a retired Hedge Knight turned Innkeeper. His sons as barkeeps. Harbor master.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here's Looking At You, Kid Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Ned was a country boy in the big city. He would need somebody who grew up in the city. Forget the real historical figures. He needed a native of Kings' Landing. The man doesn't have to be smart in an educated, intellectual way. But he has to be streetwise. Davos would do.

Fool Stands On Giant’s Toe Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The position would require a man to have many field agents. Either that or spread word by bards of coin for information. A secure form of communication and the head organizer to compile, sift and see what’s pertinent and actionable. A lord should be doing this by hosting and guesting. A Lords skill in gossip would be a key responsibility for any dynastic House.Movement towards Opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of the North Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I don't feel any need to go outside ASoIaF itself on this question. If I were Ned and I could choose, I'd go with the best Master of Whispers there ever was: Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
