In the show: Tyrion sailed with Varys to the home of Illyrio Mopatis in Pentos, and then on towards Meereen by way of Volantis. However, when he arrives there he is captured by Jorah Mormont, who is set on taking him before Daenerys himself. Their boat comes under attack from Stone Men as they pass Old Valyria, and while Tyrion escapes contact, it appears Jorah has not been so lucky. There has - as yet - been no sign of Aegon Targaryen appearing. In the books: It is Illyrio Mopatis, not Varys, who sends Tyrion on his way to Volantis, aboard the Shy Maid and accompanied by characters called 'Griff' and 'Young Griff'. Tyiron deduces that these are actually Jon Connington, disgraced former Hand of the King Aerys II Targaryen, and Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar, believed to have been killed as a child during the Sack of King's Landing. It is Connington who saves Tyrion from the Stone Men, and contracts greyscale himself. Connington and Aegon decide not to join Daenerys in Meereen, but rather head to Westerns and stake their own claim to the Iron Throne. What it means: Tyrion's storyline will still play out in a similar manner - albeit without the pig-jousting, probably at the request of Peter Dinklage - in that Jorah has captured Tyrion and is headed towards Meereen. That will no doubt end with Tyrion meeting Daenerys, although it looks as though that meeting will happen sooner on the show than it does in the books. There is currently nothing to suggest Aegon will be appearing in the show, especially as the part of Tyrion's journey we meet him on as already happened, and that Jorah has partially taken on Jon Connington's role. While it's not entirely out of the question they're saving him for a separate introduction in season 6, the more likely scenario indicates he has been cut out completely, implying he will turn out to be a fraud in the books.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
