Other than the fact that he appears several times and gurrm says everything but LOL HI IM VARYS! Shit, it might even say that at some point.

Shit, Astr0, that isn't even a fucking reveal. You might be the only book reader who didn't put it together.

I'd like to know if podrick is rocking a long spear in his pants or a corkscrew gonzo dick or what. I find that the funniest part of the season.

That's a pretty good analogy really.
Only in the sense that it is a very secondary character that is well liked and share a similar profession (both for hire, both implying adventures that happened outside the story), but Fett does and says nothing so he really is a blank canvas for the viewer to project their fantasies, while Bronn is a more fleshed out character with a broad range of interactions.

yeah I thought jaqen being the alchemist was all but confirmed. But the truth is that it doesn't matter if jaqen is the alchemist or if it's a different faceless man. In fact I almost hope that no other characters are revealed as being Jaqen ever even if there's circumstantial evidence that it is Jaqen. (Unless we get a short prologue/epilogue type story with an internal monolouge of jaqen thinking about arya and whatever shit she pulls in the last book. As long as it's kept internal it doesn't break the continuity of the faceless man's character).
I hope no one is ever confirmed as Jaqen, because even if they are, he will be a completely different person by a different name. For all intents and purposes anyone then could just wink and be like HEY IM Jaqen.

Probably my favorite one off character ever, really hope is never comes back.

I did not know that Varys was the jailer either, put me in the stupid group I guess. I thought that Varys was just using a disguise to avoid suspicion, not that he was actually the jailer.

The Honey Badger of Westeros comes with a better theme song.

Bronn would knife you in a second if he had a reason to. It wouldn't even have to be a good reason.

It's hinted in book one with Ned Stark with something like "he looks and sounds like Varys with stubble", but in later books both Jamie and Tyrion say pretty much say "wow Varys is also the jailer". Also Varys kills Kevan Lannister and is an Aegon Targaryen supporter.

Actually it's confirmed that the person who visits him is Varys. They have a conversation with each other. Or do you mean the jailor who was ignoring him and giving him water?

Rugen is indeed Varys. ApparentlyGRRM confirmed it in a commentary.

This is one of those plot points that is very, very obvious but also, if you just read the books, completely inconsequential. It really doesn't matter if Varys is playing the jailer or is the jailer. The only reason it was ever discussed is because it's a bit of a lynchpin in several other conspiracies, like Syrio=Jaquen!

jaqen new identity is the dude in oldown
Isn't that pretty much confirmed? iirc they were described identically, so either it's Jaqen, or someone else who's appearance Jaqen copied.

the maesters hate magic and want all dragons dead
Not 100% sure about how it worked, but the evidence seems pretty strong if that maester mage dude at the end of AFFC is to be believed.

Armed with this knowledge I am more convinced than ever that Syrio = Jaqen.
