NOW PANIC and FREAK OUT!

Viserys

It’s difficult to sympathise with such an abominable character — what with his abusive behaviour towards Dany — but you don’t grow up with the moniker “Beggar King” and survive with your wits intact.

The short period of Viserys’ life that we do see in the book (and in the television show) reveals little more than anger, frustration, pride and a burning desire to become more than he was at that point: a beggar. 

There’s no going around it. Viserys was a hateful, hateful man. But at that moment, portrayed by the beautiful Harry Lloyd, where he believes that he finally gets the army he deserves, for that brief instant Viserys is human. 

Not a caricature of stupidity, arrogance and empty pride. 

But a person. 

He simply wanted to go home.
