A memorable scene from Season 2 of A Game of Thrones. Jaqen H’ghar leaves Arya with only an old iron coin, and two words to say to any Braavosi she meets; Valar Morghulis. Apparently the meaning of this phrase is in a High Valyrian dialect and translates to ‘All men must die,’ or ‘All men are mortal’

  1. GeorgeR.R.Martin Spoiled us from the begin who was Jaquen Hghar but no one noticed it……every time we see Jaquen you can hear a harp playing in the background…who else we know use to play harp?????yes!!Rhaegar!!

  2. I think ss2 jaquen and the guy died by poison in ss5 was arya's sword teacher (i believe in the theory which the braavossi sword master was a faceless man). When arya killed meryn trant, she had to pay for a death by her own so this faceless guy offered his in return because she was his old student
    Well, here my theory: this faceless guy was give a task by Iron Bank to eliminate the Baratheon dynasty due to their huge, unpayable dept. The men disguided as Syrio Forel, worked in house of the new hand-lord Stark. He waited to a chance when king Robert visit his friend to kill the king in the disguide of lord Stark or one of Starks. By doing that, the faceless assassin could creat a huge chao in westeros, weaken her defend and the iron bank would fund the Baratheon's nemesis- the last Targs to take the throne (kind of thing iron bank will do when a king refuse to pay the dept). Unfortunately, king robert died by the hand of queen cercei, the chao lead to the attack at house Stark, the assassin managed to saved arya, defeated the intruders and disguided as a prisoner name Jaquen. In ss2, after all the event, Jaquen gave Arya the coin to recruit a new assassin which would pay for his fail mission. Jaquen took part in her training and quickly rose a mentor-student kind of love for Arya. When Arya killed Meryn, this faceless assassin offered himself first to suscide for having a forbidden personal feeling and to teach Arya a last lesson. In short, he lived his life as a great teacher.
    Well that is all, i know my theory has a lot of holes but i am not good enough to identify them, hope you guys can help. And please, forgive me for my bad English (i'm from Viet Nam). Have a good day

  3. I just love the simplicity of this scene. The slow camera pan, the music when he turns around and has a new face, then walks off… Such a great show!!! Thank goodness they didn't screw up the books…

  4. I read the books first and I have to say good god what did they do to Theon? at the end of book 2 when Winterfell is ransacked by Ramsay and he surrenders to him, that never happened in the show. Even Barristan Selmy hiding his identity, nope, he immediately tells who he is. they ruined Qhorin too. The show is good, but the books are so much better
