And the meek shall inherit Westeros: How Game of Thrones celebrates reversals of fortune

GREY WORM 1.0: MERCENARY SLAVE

Grey Worm is a member of the Unsullied, a band of warrior-slaves. Taken from his village as a baby, Grey Worm has no memory of his life before becoming an anonymous minion of the Good Masters of Astapor. On top of that, castration has left him physically disfigured. His future, like that of all his fellows, is bleak: the most he can look forward to is a quick death on the battlefield.

GREY WORM 2.0: FREE MAN and TARGARYEN ARMY GENERAL

Once set free by Daenerys Targaryen, the Unsullied decide to remain loyal to her and elect Grey Worm as their commander. Grey Worm enters his queen’s inner circle where he learns to voice his own opinions and even becomes a peer of the famous Barristan Selmy. He also starts a burgeoning love affair with Daenerys’ right-hand woman Missandei, and despite some physical obstacles, it looks like the two kids are really hitting it off.

At the moment, Grey Worm is part of the Targaryen armada heading for Westeros. Even bigger glories might lie ahead for this former slave.
