Game Of Thrones: 5 Winners And 5 Losers In 'The Mountain And The Viper'
3. Ser Jorah
Moving back to the character side of things, but staying in the same area, Ser Jorah has had the worst day of his life since Ned Stark exiled him from Westeros for selling men into slavery. As weve already established, Ser Jorah was at one time selling information about Daenerys movements and activities to the Seven Kingdoms, acting as their spy in her camp in a bid to earn himself a pardon for the crimes for which he was banished. Most of this occurs in Season 1, and indeed in early Season 2 Ser Jorah explicitly tells the mysterious masked woman at the garden party in Qarth that he is now fully devoted and loyal to Daenerys. The damage had already been done however, but it would take a further two seasons worth of episodes to undermine him. Unbeknownst to him, Ser Jorahs royal pardon had already left Kings Landing in the time when King Robert was still drinking and bedding whores. Somehow, this letter must have gotten lost along the way, or at least severely delayed, or perhaps nobody could find Daenerys camp because she keeps moving around so much. Nevertheless, the letter arrived, exposing Ser Jorahs treachery, and honestly it couldnt have come at a worse time for him. Daenerys is settling into her new role as the ruler of the conquered Meereen, a task that brings with it a myriad of difficult challenges. Ser Jorah has never been more important to his queen as an advisor than at this point in the story. On top of that, his more than professional affections for her are being tortured by the rivalry of the dashingly roguish Daario Naharis. Daenerys has already taken Daario as a lover which Ser Jorah openly disapproved of and with this latest development, he will not be able to taper the sellswords influence over their queen once Daario returns from his mission to Yunkai. Youve got to feel for Ser Jorah; despite his previous sins, he genuinely does love Daenerys, and only wants to do right by her. Now its anybodys guess what will happen to him. It seems unlikely that he will return to the Seven Kingdoms. With Robert long dead, his pardon may not bare much weight anymore, and he could find himself on the way to the noose pretty soon. A sellsword in the free cities seems like the most viable option, and whilst it may not be the lofty post of advisor to a Targaryen queen, it would at least be preferable to death upon return from exile. That being said, Ser Jorah wont be in the best state of mind for making sensible decisions about his future; we fear that wandering drunk may be the most likely eventuality on his bleak horizon.
