10 Game Of Thrones Characters We Never Saw Die

10. Xaro Xhoan Daxos

Last Seen:

In Season 2, Episode 10, being left to die, locked inside his own impenetrable (and empty) treasure vault by Daenerys, who has taken the only key.

Could He Still Be Alive?

The self-proclaimed King of Qarth was all about plotting and deception. The whole point of the vault and what it represents was about show rather than substance: a grand and supposedly unbreakable door which served to convince people that what was stored behind it must be the untold wealth that Xaro was rumoured to possess. Instead, of course, the vault was empty.

Which does beg the question of what else he was lying about. The idea that he would have died from being locked in an impenetrable vault does rather rely on the notion that he was telling the truth about breaking into the vault being impossible and the only key being the one in Daenerys's possession. Given his track record with the truth, though, that may not be the case. He could easily have secreted a key elsewhere or built in an escape route as part of his various schemes.

Daenerys' escape from the warlocks of the House of the Undying leaves them still pursuing her in the following season, which means that Xaro's allies still exist and both retain a grudge against the Mother of Dragons. If Daenerys's plot was still Essos-based this would mean that Xaro's return was definitely a possibility. As it is, though, he's just too far on the other side of the world still to be relevant to the story.
