Kiwi, After twenty years, that's all I recall from my high school German class. The Berliner comment was meant to reflect John Kennedy's comment during the Cold War (the Cold War sounds like it involves the Night's Watch)... Ich bin ein Berliner. I had no idea a berliner was a type of bagel. I love bagels.

Of course deuche is not Deutsch... I was trying to get the point across to Lotm about his lackadaisical spelling and grammar. I'm trying to be a more positive and helpful poster. I know I was harsher with you... I'm sorry. I was wrong. I do appreciate the format of your posts immensely. Now I can easily concentrate on the content. English must be your third or fourth language... that's something that most Americans are unfamiliar with. I'm glad that my rude behavior did not keep you away from the forums.

Lubbock, I see you spelled Varys as Vaerys. No, I'm not coming down on you for spelling. I once proposed that Varys might be some long lost Targaryen that came back to wreak vengeance upon the Arryns, Baratheons, Lannisters, and Starks. Varys could have been changed from Vaerys. Or Varys might be the nickname of Viserys/Visaerys just like Dany is short for Daenerys... and maybe how Arry (the name Yoren gave Arya) might be the childhood name for Aerys.

Basically all that is to say Who is Varys?

If he meets up with Dany as you suggest, what will he tell her? He could tell her lots about her father, her father's bastards, Robert, Robert's bastards, Cersei, Cersei's bastards, the passages of the Red Keep, Tyrion, Littlefinger, the Maesters, and the Faith. If anyone knows about the hidden Targaryens, it's Varys. He'll know whether he himself is a Targaryen. He'll know whether Tyrion is a Targaryen or a Lannister. He'll know if Aerys has any other children. He'll know if baby Aegon is Young Griff, Quentyn, Alleras, or if he's dead. He'll know which houses will support a Targaryen return. He might possibly know if Ashara=Quaithe. He might know if Rhaegar and Lyanna were legally married, ergo he might know who Jon Snow is.
