Corvo the Crow Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 No matter what he does, our dearest Onion Knight seems to lose his freedom one way or another. First, he is stranded on a rock after battle of blackwater, then he's imprisoned in Dragonstone, then captured by Godric Borrell and finally Manderly puts him in a cell. Who will be next?

I hope it isn't Cersei, Daenerys or fAegon, that's for sure. They'd have him killed on general principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aejohn the Conqueroo Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Probably his wife. "WTF do you mean Skagos!?! Last I heard you were dead in Whiteharbour and then you went to effin' Skagos to look for some one else's kid? You know you have your own here, don't you?"

Lord Lannister Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 His fingers, his kids, his freedom, his sanity... Davos can't get a break. Out of all the characters in these books, I feel Davos deserves something of a happy ending more than most before it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaenara Belarys Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I hope he isn't imprisoned again. My man Davos needs a big break after serving King Teeth Grinder, alongside all the other idiots (Clayton Suggs, Godry Farring and the rest of that lot).

James West Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The most likely captor for Davos are the Skagosi. And it won't be a grudge. He's just part of their main course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Davos probably won't deny it or renounce Stannis to save his own skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aebram Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 As a former smuggler, he was probably imprisoned more than once before we met him. So he's used to it. But I do like the man; I share the hope that things will go better for him as the story goes on. I'm always impressed by his integrity: he keeps his oath, no matter what happens. I love that scene where he has to give some bad news to Stannis, and Stannis threatens to have his tongue out: and he says, "It's your tongue; do with it as you will." I'd love to read a novella about his early days. I envision him as an "honest criminal" who used his skills to evade taxes, piracy, and blockades, and never cheated or betrayed his clients.

chrisdaw Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Maybe the Boltons, they'll probably take Rickon and Davos might be with Rickon when they do. His arc isn't about freedom/captivity though, it's about language. Both on his rock and in front of Manderly he stood up and told the truth, even though the truth was likely to get him killed. Talk, words, language, negotiation and keeping his lord on the path of right with the right words is what the Onion Knight is all about. What mega kingmaking Westeros saving deals will Davos negotiate, and what evils will he persuade his lords from are the questions to be asking.
