JungWheats Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm doing a reread of the series right now, and I just got to the part where Arya ends up in the dungeons. Anyways, do we ever find out anything about the wizard and the bearded man that she sees talking about killing Ned Stark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleighton the Pure Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 My speculations on this is that it could have been Maester Pycelle(bearded man) and the chief of the guil of alcheymists (wizard). Which means someone wanted Ned dead. Could have been Tywin? After all Pycelle was a follower of the Lannisters. Tywin was off fighting battles yes, but Ned was also Hand of the King. A dangerous person who was friends with Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Isn't that Lord Varys in disguise and Illyrio Mopartis that she overhears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lummel Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yes we do. Their identities become clear and quite obvious if, and it is a big if, you pay attention to their descriptions and can match them up to two other characters.Both characters appear in other places in AGOT.One of them is slightly obscure as he appears early on in the book.

Independent George Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It's never stated explicitly, but there are more than enough clues to figure it out. I can't say more without spoiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlackBladder Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Let's just say that the mention of "little birds" is a clue. And the description of the bearded man sounds remarkably similar to a certain Pentoshi merchant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWildWolf Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Yes, you will find out who eventually... You can't really say anything without giving it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtide6 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The plot thickens... I wonder when Illyrio Mopatis will really gain significance as a character. After that he isn't mentioned again in a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out he's pulling a few strings. Maybe Varys is in his service ?
