Together, the two made Arya into a fearless assassin so it’s no wonder many believe Syrio is actually Jaqen.
Actress Maisie once said in an interview with IGN, she has the same theory: “I always was like, ‘Oh, no, I feel like he’s still alive.’ I always had my own theory that he and Jaqen [H’ghar] were the same person.”
However, despite the theories gaining momentum, creators of Game of Thrones, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss responded to Maisie with an unequivocal: “No, he is dead.”
Many also believe that Syrio being alive would undermine the story, as well as Arya’s character arc.
It’s clear, though, that Game of Thrones coming to an end won’t stop fans wondering whether or not Syrio is a Faceless Man anytime soon.
All eight seasons of Game of Thrones are currently available to watch on NOW TV.
