Game Of Thrones: 15 Plot Threads The Show Totally Abandoned

4. Quaithe

While we're on the subject of things from Qarth that appear briefly and are then never mentioned again, there's Quaithe, who holds the hotly-contested title for being the most mysterious character to ever appear on the show.

An enigmatic shadowbinder from Asshai, she interacts with Jorah Mormont and is seemingly able to correctly prophecise his passing through Old Valyria, while also taking a keen interest in Dany and her dragons. She's even more prophetic in the books, although the show cut a lot of her key lines.

Even with those changes, though, she's still a highly peculiar figure, from the gold mask to the riddles she speaks, but after just a couple of episodes she's never heard from again.
