Direwolfsigil Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Honestly, this is more believable than him being Rhaegar IMO....You dont hang around for 20 years without being noticed when you were the most popular person in westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olligarchy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 An excellent question! :bang: Really.The problem with Darkstar being influental in any capacity for the rest of the series is rather low. I'll make a set of bullet points below.Gerold Dayne has no power or influence. He is of a CADET branch of House Dayne, and as such cannot command large armies or wealth required to become an important antagonist.Gerold isn't dangereous enough on his own to be a danger either. He isn't -that- good a fighter when compared to the best in the series.He isn't smart enough.I really don't get this facination with Gerold Dayne... I just don't.

Jon's Queen Consort Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I believe that Darkstar is a funny-not really a threat villain, Dany is/will be the main villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshio.Keepiru Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Darkstar will turn out to be GRR Martin's version of Garet Jax. Or maybe I'm just really really drunk :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Paul_Aaron Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 That thing when people say Darkstar "couldn't even kill a girl" is by far one of the most ignorant things said on this forum. Please stop insulting your selves people who say that. You're better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I believe that Darkstar is a funny-not really a threat villain, Dany is/will be the main villain.Right. The others are just misunderstood. They really just want to settle down south of the wall and live peacefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dove Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 1. For a character such as Darkstar, we are unable to characterize him by looks alone. We must use his speech."I am a man of a night."This brings several (6-7) questions to mind.Is Darkstar a Night's Watch deserter?Is he collaborating with the Others? He could be a wight after all.Is he the Great Other, bane of all life?But then it hit me. One person could not do all the things done by Darkstar. The answer became clear. Darkstar isn't a person, it's an ideal. There are multiple persons working under the Darkstar name. This is the only explanation of how he could be helping Arianne while simultaneously betraying her and cutting off a child's ear.Possible canidates for the Darkstar group:Gerold DayneMore names will unveil themselves as more information unveils itself.But I do know one thing. We have not seen the last of Darkstar.I'm backing this dark horse until the cows come home. I am eagerly awaiting more Darkstar in future installments of GRRM's "A Song of Ice And Fire" series.I'm starting to think that with Darkstar assuming the role of the Great Other, Daario might actually end up as AA in direct opposition. I'll need to formulate my thoughts on the matter first, but I think his sword hilts are the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Right. The others are just misunderstood. They really just want to settle down south of the wall and live peacefully. yes and that has exactly the same possibilities with Dany being a hero and not her papa's daughter.

CMPunk Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm New to all this but really what is the fascination with 'Darkstar'? Yeah ok he is a mysterious character and all that but still. He has been in what 10 Pages Maximum and mentioned 5-6 times in 5 Books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenlyIsNotRight Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm New to all this but really what is the fascination with 'Darkstar'? Yeah ok he is a mysterious character and all that but still. He has been in what 10 Pages Maximum and mentioned 5-6 times in 5 Books.What makes Darkstar so fascinating is that despite his very brief appearance in AFFC, Darkstar is described as being "the most dangerous man in Dorne", his allegiance to "The Night" and there is just a general air of mystery around his connections to House Dayne. I think its pretty inevitable that Darkstar has a part to play in the grand scheme of the series, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mother of The Others Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 If he's not awesome on his own, it's time to start looking for awesomeness kickstarters. Something we could attach to him so that its awesomeness would rub off onto him. We've got some awesome locations we still haven't seen hardly at all in the Reach region, which are just a quick donkey ride north through the western pass in the Dornish mountains. Perhaps he'll make a name for himself by attacking one of these strongholds where he'll employ whirling dervish skills to kill the boss there. Urinating on everything, he'll claim a victory for Dorne like the knight of flowers did for Tyrells, and everyone will wake up to a world where Dorne is making an impact and changing the map. If you rearrange the letters in Darkstar you get...RAD STARK. Coincidence? I think not. This bears repeating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faint Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Should we find it suspicious that we do not have the Dayne family tree? I mean, not only do we not know how Gerold Dayne is related to the other Daynes in the story, we do not even know the parents of Edric Dayne despite the fact that he is the Lord of Starfall.

StarkDragon Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 We have not seen the last of Darkstar.Why is his name in Purple? Is this that 'Darkstar is secretly a Plum' thread again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshio.Keepiru Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Darkstar is the "Weapons Master." No matter how good you are with whatever weapons you choose. Even hands and feet. Darkstar is better. No one is witness to any duels he has fought because to keep his true abilities a secret he not only killed the one unfortunate enough to be his opponent but he also killed any witnesses. Man, woman, child, smallfolk and nobles alike. It was a necessary evil...*edited for grammar & spelling* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Noone Sword Of The Day Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 i think he will have some significance within the series but people IMO are over thinking his actual role... just because he has a cool name like Darkstar doesn't mean he will be the main antagonist of the series. However having said that i do like the idea of 'Darkstar' being several different people although, i think it is also very unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Raven Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Why is his name in Purple? Is this that 'Darkstar is secretly a Plum' thread again?Becauase Darkstar is of the night! Or more likely just twilight. He's dippy enough to be a vampire that sparkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Are there any other people with dark in their name? Or an anagram of something that could mean dark if you look at it the right way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakman Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Darkstar will not be the main antagonist. But he will play a significant role in the drama unfolding in Dorne, with Aegon, and the Second and Third Targaryen invasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulled Wino Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 His motives are beyond your mortal understanding.in simpler terms, darkstar=igninoc. He does whatever he wants, to whomever he wants, at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
