A girl would do this and a boy would do that, and a man has duties.
His eyes usually shaded as he spoke in the most profoundly wide generalizations. Game of Thrones‘ Jaqen H’ghar (Tom Wlaschiha) was very laid back for a killer, laid back in that 1970s California have-you-never-been-mellow kind of way.

We will not answer it here, sorry! If you want your question about the series answered, we recommend that you: Per our policy, we do not answer meta questions here. This blog is for reblogging purposes only. A man does not fly like a bird, but one foot moves and then another and one day a man is there.”Īsoiafuniversity is an archival meta blog. On the morrow, at the turn of the moon, a year from this day, it will come. Doesn’t matter, “at the end of every road stands Him of Many Faces, waiting.” Maybe one might mess up and get killed themselves, like the Sorrowful Man who went after Dany. And speaking of the common Braavosi, considering how fearful and respectful the sailors on the Titan’s Daughter are of Arya, giving her gifts and making sure she remembers their names (so she personally can’t ever target them), and considering how respected the euthanasia pool in the temple seems to be, you can believe the people of Braavos are well aware of what the Faceless Men are and what they can do to anyone who might cross them.īut yeah, maybe not all Faceless Men are as skillful as Jaqen. So… eleven, out of how many possible Faceless Men, in a clandestine manner unnoticeable by the common Braavosi… not exactly something that could be predicted for a “preemptive strike”. Only the lordling and the fat fellow arrived by the front door the rest came by secret ways, through tunnels and hidden passages. Sure, sometimes they’ll meet, but:Įleven servants of the Many-Faced God gathered that night beneath the temple, more than she had ever seen together at one time. Oh, strike the temple, you say? But besides some acolytes and servants and maybe a priest or two, nobody actually lives there. Similarly, Jaqen never touched Weese – he just fed meat tainted with basilisk blood paste to Weese’s dog, who then went mad and ripped his throat out. Arya herself never touched the man, never even got that close to him. Arya slipped a gold coin coated in poison into the purse of one of the agent’s clients, and when the client paid him, the agent bit the coin to check its quality, and died soon after of a heart attack.
The insurance agent who was Arya’s first official target was worried someone was out to get him, so he had two bodyguards who were always around him, one who even was his foodtaster. A former acolyte discovered to have betrayed secrets, who the Faceless Men then leave blinded, deafened, paralyzed, and with a face of horror, could be an object lesson good enough for anyone.Īnd strike whom? Like, besides the fact that a Faceless Man may have any face at all, completely unknown to his target, there’s several examples of how unstoppable and undetectable their methods are. You don’t have to kill someone to punish them. –The plague-faced priest, ADWD, The Ugly Little Girl Next we will take your ears, and you will walk in silence. Just because the Faceless Men are unwilling to give the gift of death to anyone not “marked and chosen” by the Many-Faced God, doesn’t mean any acolyte can just get away with whatever they want.
