7 MIA Game Of Thrones Characters (Whose Fates Will Probably Never Be Revealed)

Part of Daenerys Targaryen's season six storyline saw her kill off a significant number of Dothraki Khals and unite the race behind her in advance of her conquest of Westeros. Since then they've been used to great effect, engaging the Lannister armies whilst the Unsullied were held under siege at Casterly Rock. She already had a Dothraki contingent by her side once before, however.

Said contingent was admittedly small and made up of remnants of the khalasar that served her husband, Khal Drogo, following her to Qarth in the series' second season. This journey claimed the life of Rakharo, a composite of Dany's three bloodriders from the books. He remains alive in those, with his departure on the show forced by actor Elyes' Gabel's decision to take up a role on Body Of Proof.

Out of nowhere then came the original character of Kovarro, the epitome of what TV Tropes defines as a 'suspiciously similar substitute'. He served Dany throughout the rest of season two and was by her side when she condemned Xaro Xhoan Daxos and Doreah to a long and slow death in the former's treasure chamber.

Kovarro then disappeared before season three and bar the occasional background appearance, the Dothraki were forgotten about in favour of the Unsullied. No Dothraki character has done much of note since A Clash Of Kings, so their absence wasn't nonsensical.
