3. Varys IS Twitter

Varys always knows everything, all of the time, from all corners of the city, but he barely ever needs to move a muscle. That's because he's definitely got a smartphone hidden in his robes somewhere, or better yet, he could actually be Twitter itself, in human form. Think about it, he knows everything all of the time. Whenever somebody drops a huge bombshell of breaking news to him, Varys' response is usually a smug grin and a riddle to suggest that he already knew this hot-off-the-press information long before it was brought to him by one of the main characters.

Varys is his very own social media feed.
