The KING is a FOOL - Varys to Ned Stark | Game of Thrones

In this clip Varys speaks to Ned one on one, claiming that he needed a month of spying on him to determine he was trustworthy enough. He now thinks Ned is a man of honour like himself. Then he proceeds to tell him that the King is a fool and is in danger of being poisoned by the tears of Lys like Jon Arryan was unless Ned saves him.

Lord Varys was not evil...
He really was a politician.

[FirstLast-gllw]

Much respect to Lord Varys. He truly was not in it to betray anyone for his own gain or benefit.

[topmp]

Varys was always very honorable and most of us watching didn't want to believe it.

[supercasualgamer]

Varys is a perfect example of a "public servant"
It was all about the kingdom, to him. He was probably the most consistently loyal character, with that in mind

[licmir]

No one can’t claim that Varys did not warn Eddard… several times.

[THDarksider]

The fact that he was going to bring Ned into his whole thing, I think Varys could have maybe done more to help him out

[williamwilliams]

Comments: Varys is so good! He truly cared about the realm.

People who’ve read the books: 😅

[loganhead]

The best part is varys was pulling strings in the shadows to ideally get visarys on the throne

[chrismurphy]

Varys was my favorite character his way of doing things amazes me. He's neither good nor bad but honorable and respected and relentless.

[PrinceIsot]

Varys and Ned would have done some damage as King and Hand.

[Apolitically-Correct]

Robert was spot on when he called Ned an “honorable fool”

[johnpinkston]

When the books are out everyone will be clowning the TV show Varys so bad. I feel terrible for his actor, he did such a great job

[ciprianodefrancisca]

i didnt know how good varys's character was.

[saberpat]

Its very interesting seeing Varys in the show and then knowing he has young griff in the books, it feels like it's simultaneous what made Game of Thrones so great what how they portrayed Varys but so symbolic of them never really getting the deeper complexity of the books

[alejandrocombat]

Varys was a great character… only to be ruined from season 5.

[jakealcock]

I love how Varys was still honourable and a good man, but just in a different way to Ned.

[caseywhalin]

Ned stark was a bad ass and Varys got a raw deal. Tyrion bitched out and told

[abhishankpaul]

The first season never failed to keep us tense every single moment

[arcticvoid]

Varys was probably the loyalest to the realm--

[ironpump]

Varys is the personification of “Never judge a book by its cover”.
