Biography[]
Background[]
He is a member of the Sons of the Harpy.[1]
Game of Thrones: Season 5[]
When Daario Naharis and Grey Worm search the Son's house in Meereen, they initially find nothing. Grey Worm was quick to assume they hit a dead end yet Daario tells that Unsullied who had forgotten how to fear fail to comprehend when someone's in hiding, before stabbing the wall behind him, causing the Son of the Harpy to fall out. With his leg injured, the Son is subsequently arrested. Daenerys Targaryen consults her advisors and Mossador urges her to kill him to send a message to the Sons of the Harpy. Ser Barristan Selmy advises her to exercise caution, suggesting that he might have valuable information; Daario insists the Son doesn't, as he had already questioned him, and suggests giving him a fair trial as a way of maintaining the equality among the citizens, to which Daenerys agrees. Before the trial can take place, Mossador enters the Son's cell; the Son contemptuously declares Daenerys an outsider, who would never be mother to the slaves, no matter how many times they call her "Mhysa". Mossador murders him and dumps his corpse in public, his face covered by his harpy mask and writes "kill the masters" on a wall in his blood. He is executed as punishment for this.[1]
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there is no parallel to this character. The Brazen Beasts (an army of watchmen formed by Daenerys) have taken dozens of the Harpy’s Sons, and those who have survived their capture have yielded names when questioned sharply, but the identity of their leader remains unknown.

Notes[]
- ↑ In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 5 in 302 AC.
