Littlefinger's rival when it comes to the political machinations of Westeros, Varys has two key advantages over his fellow web-spinner: 1) he knows how to adapt, and 2) he isn't - as far as we know - interested in power for himself.

That has stood him in great stead so far, and there are few people more capable of playing games and helping causes than Varys. His breadth of knowledge and contacts make him a hugely valuable advisor to Daenerys, and also mean that he'll be capable of doing whatever is necessary to stay alive. He's certainly backing the right horse as things stand, and you get the feeling that no matter what happens, the Spider will always find a way to survive.
