15 Most Prominent Game Of Thrones Characters (Yet To Appear In The Show)

6. Skahaz Mo Kandaq - 145 Mentions

Daenery's long excursion to Meereen also sees her deal with all manner of locals as she spends the best part of two books there, which will likely become the best part of three books given that she's in no position to depart for Westeros yet as of the end of A Dance With Dragons. Her chapters are rarely the most riveting, with George R.R. Martin even confessing to making her spend far too long dealing with the day-to-day running of the city.

Skahaz mo Kandaq is a nobleman who sides with his city's conquerer, shaving his head to become known as the Shavepate. He leads the Brazen Beasts, a group of freed slaves and fellow citizens who oppose the Sons of the Harpy in a shadowy civil war that was simplified on screen. His loyalty to Daenerys' appears to be absolute, in contrast to Hizdahr zo Loraq, who is strongly hinted to be the head of the Harpy on the page but was the subject of a swift and quickly forgotten death on screen, and the seemingly untrustworthy Reznak mo Reznak, whose allegiances have not yet been revealed despite him racking up 107 mentions of his own.

Daenerys has already been in Meereen for three and a half seasons as of the end of season six, where she has finally set off for Westeros and left her book storylines behind. Adding all of the political machinations behind them would've just prolonged her stay even longer, which wouldn't have been feasible given that the series' is now approaching its endgame.
