<P> Varys (season 1--present) portrayed by Conleth Hill . Varys, sometimes called The Spider, is a major character in the second, third, fourth and fifth seasons . He initially appeared as a recurring character in the first season and debuted in "Lord Snow". Varys is bald and tends towards fat, due to his castration . He is the Master of Whisperers, the King's foremost spymaster and intelligence agent . He holds no inherited title, castle or lands in Westeros, but is called "Lord" as a courtesy due to his position on the council, which traditionally is made up of high lords . He is a skilled manipulator and commands a network of informants across two continents . He often puts on the public persona of being nothing more than a pudgy man well suited to the pleasantries of court life; humble, obsequious, fawning, and a little effeminate . This is simply a facade that Varys has developed, which often leads those who do not know him well to underestimate him as a cheerful and vapid flatterer . In reality he is a cunning and ruthless manipulator of court politics, on - par with Master of Coin Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, with whom he frequently spars . </P> <P> Shae (season 1--4) portrayed by Sibel Kekilli .

In turn, Shae becomes protective of Sansa and attempts to help her in any way she can . In Season 3, she becomes jealous of Tyrion after his marriage to Sansa and is confronted by Varys, who urges her to leave the Seven Kingdoms, which she refuses to do, thinking that Tyrion has something to do with Varys talking to her . In Season 4, Tyrion is forced to send Shae away from King's Landing on a ship after her presence is discovered by Cersei and his father is told, insulting her in the process . Shae, however, does not leave King's Landing, and resurfaces at Tyrion's trial for murdering Joffrey, where she falsely claims that both Tyrion and Sansa were responsible for Joffrey's death . It is revealed, however, that Shae was having an affair with Tywin . After Tyrion is freed by Jaime, he finds Shae sleeping in Tywin's bed, making him realise the horrible truth .

She then travels with him to the wall, and during this journey she seduces him . However, when confronted with killing an innocent horse farmer for the watch who scaled the wall, Jon escapes the wildling's clutches on horseback . But while resting, Ygritte manages to catch up with Jon at which point she confesses her love for him and then, blinded by tears, shoots him multiple times while he escapes towards the wall .
