Game Of Thrones: 10 Questions We’re Asking After 'Sons Of The Harpy'
7. What Does Melisandre Want?
Melisandre is basically a walking question mark, with no real indication of her motives or end-game, with the only set-in-stone fact about her being that she's not shy when it comes to seduction and manipulation. She's obsessed with noble blood, especially if it's flowing through a bastard son's veins, with Gendry being leeched in Season 3.

Power to make life, power to make light, power to cast shadows, suggests she wants another shadow baby like the once she created with Stannis to wipe out Renly Baratheon.
