Talk:Illyrio Mopatis

Designs on Westeros
​Illyrio Mopatis brokered and an alliance with Khal Drogo's khalasar, cementing it with the marriage between Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen. So I'm wondering just why the free city of Pentos would have a vested interest in Westeros. Unless i'm mistaken, Pentos pays tribute to the Dothraki hordes to prevent them raiding their lands. As Khal Drogo commands the most credible Dothraki force in Essos, I can sort of see why they would undertake a complex project to ship them all from their shows to bother someone else in another continent. But what interests the Pentoshi about the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros? Did Illyrio and his peers wish to set up Viserys as their puppet-king, who would give government positions in Wesertos to Pentoshi oligarchs in return for their assistance?
