If you ever woke up one day in the world of ice and fire... find Davos. He's the one character in the entire series that could keep you alive and unharmed.
When Stannis accused him of treaaon because he saved that boy's life, he replied "Same treason you've commited to Aerys when your brother rebelled against him?" That sort of a man is our Davos
Do you mean in a Storm of Swords when he discusses if the people sworn to Celtigars should be trested like traitors? Stannis says it's every mans duty to remain loyal to the rightful king (Stannis) and Davos blurts out "as you remained loyal to Aerys when Robert rebelled."
What amazes me about his character is that even when he lost his sons, he did not lose himself. Any lesser man would have given in to grief but not him. He remained dutiful and still continues to do the right thing even after all that he has lost.
I'm guessing he's early fifties. At least 40 years on sea, starting at younger than 10. Having a number of sons with at least one around 20. I like this character because he's providing the perfect stannis perspective in the books. (The whole reason this character exists of course). Adding that extra layer of mystery with millesandra in the mix. He's also very much a grey character moral wise and reflects on this frequently which makes him that much more human. Love his chapters.
Wimpiethe3 I agree! But in TWOW, he will finally have his own journey (that I won’t spoil in case), and Asha Greyjoy. Ow provides the Stannis POV. Also *melisandre
He isn’t a grey character at all. He’s written as a good guy. Martin fans are so obsessed with calling every character he writes “grey” that it’s absurd.
@@trevorwilson6683 He describes himself as a bit good and a bit bad to melisandre. Not strange if you consider his background. A truly 'good' character would not have become a smuggler. We could get into the whole 'is it even possible to not be at least somewhat grey debate,' but the fact he describes himself that way validates the statement in my opinion. An example of a one dimensional 'bad' character would I think be joffrey. Because he's basicly a psychopath. In a way its the ultimate grey character depending on the enviroment he's put in. Whatever is the most profitable course of action most calculating psychopaths will take, but joffrey is an unstable one so that would make him more prone to abuse others. And this is the rabbit hole...
Technically Davos rose from being a Common born smugler to Lord and the best friend Stannis ever has in the books, I also like how he is always honest towards Stannis while other Highborn only want to take all of the glory and wealth and eventually descend into madness compared to him.
Davos had come too far with Stannis to play coy now. "Last year they were Robert's men. A moon ago they were Renly's. This morning they are yours. Whose will they be on the morrow?" And Stannis laughed. A sudden gust, rough and full of scorn. "I told you, Melisandre," he said to the red woman, "my Onion Knight tells me the truth." "I see you know him well, Your Grace," the red woman said. "Davos, I have missed you sorely," the king said. "Aye, I have a tail of traitors, your nose does not deceive you. My lords bannermen are inconstant even in their treasons. I need them, but you should know how it sickens me to pardon such as these when I have punished better men for lesser crimes. You have every right to reproach me, Ser Davos."
smuggle food into the city and save everyones lives and house and then get your fingers cut off? nope. would have gotten alot more out of the deal if he worked for the tyrells in secret and maybe smuggled in poisoned food or wine etc to weaken the garrison even more
To be honest I don’t really rate Bronn much in the books. He just seems what he is - fighter for hire, though a quick witted one to be fair. I didn’t think he was anything like the sexy Jerome Flynn version on the show lol!
@@tzaph67 I havent watch the show after the season two and that was like 2013 so I cant really remember but I think that Bronn is like an open book so far, very honest. Just like Davos but they have a very diferent moral standard. Thats why I thought on him. Im not english speaker so I ask sorry for the gramar.
Rokkfel To me, I think two former King’s who clearly don’t like one another and have differing views on everything and while assisting Jon, build up their own power base once more, is a much better dynamic then two former second in command of Kings who enjoy following a better leader.
Diego Rodriguez no I get that I really do but I also feel that torment and Davos have a lot to play I mean there’s a reason they’re the seconds to their leaders I mean I can see davos being of a semi advisor to Jon (if he even gets resurrected) and well.....Tormund is Tormund not much different from the show except he’s more blond then Ginger
The Talisman Yeah. That would make sense. If Melisandre tells Devan or the Queen to do something, odds are they’ll do it. I don’t think the Wildlings will be coming to Jon’s rescue, seeing as how they’re “leader” at the time in Tormund is at Hardhome and unless Mance is a teleporter, there’s really no one that can lead whatever is left of the Wildlings on the South of the Wall.
The Talisman I think Rickon will be playing a much more important role in the books then he did in the show. If GRRM hadn’t already confirmed there would be no new POV’s, I would’ve bet money Rickon becomes one in TWOW
There's a ton of lore this channel hasn't covered. The new book wont be very long now. And with the lackluster ending of the tv series speculation will only be on the rise not dwindling. This still is a very relevant and fun subject in my opinion. Hell there are a number of lotr channels going over that lore today. Even though all canon info about that world has been basicly fully released some good time ago. These are works that will be relevant enough even a hundred years after their release to still talk about.
Francesca Heather-Hayes Jon is quite interesting in how you can trust him. Obviously he wasn’t exactly trustworthy when talking about the wildlings as he betrayed them (sort of) but when talking about a dance with Dragons he schemes against Stannis’s back with the help of Aemon to protect Mance Raider’s son. Honestly Davos is the only person you could really just trust, alongside Stannis and Ned.
I swear everytime i read davos chapter i always cant wait which part he talks people into joinig him and stannis. One of stannis greatest feats was getting davos loyalty. He is his ace in the game of thrones.
I agree! Just imagine Stannis sitting on the throne and Davos as the best Hand of the King advising him! Furthermore Stannis always listen to Davos because he knows he always speak truth, holy shit that would be a much better westeros.
Davos best Hand of the King ever, even without fingers! xD Just think it for a moment, one street orphan born in the poorest place of all Westeros, becoming Hand of the King, the second in comand of all Westeros for his own achievements as a good adviser, not for being a noble like EVERY other player on this history (besides Varys). Thats one of the things that make me say "Stannis is my only king!".
If i had a choice between watching Dumb&Dumber season 8 again or be severely tortured to death Bolton style, i would run into Ramsays arms crying with joy.
S H Mate, you’ve obviously never come near being tortured lol! I’d take Season 8 and bow and scrape with gratitude if necessary, rather than become the plaything of sicko Bolton! 😂
I really enjoyed this vid, thanks. I find Ser Davos more interesting as the story proceeds. His character is I think more complex than the show was able to portray. His love for his wife and sons for instance. Yet this simple boy from flea bottom holds his own with high lords. I think there may well be some interesting surprises for us before his story ends!
One of the best characters and on the show only Tyrian can best him in speeches and that’s only early on in the last seasons Davos gave the more compelling monologues
Ooohhh! 🎶 Who delivers the onions across the sea? DAVOS SEAWORTH! A hand to the king who's not so friendly? DAVOS SEAWORTH! His nautical smugglin be somethin ye wish! Especially when, there's just no more fish?! DAVOS SEAWORTH!
I think he's an allegory for the goddess Lady Luck. Lady Luck is a whore. She gives and she takes. And remember the gods are real in this world. He was very lucky in his smuggling career, but it cost him his fingers. He kept the bones literally as a lucky charm. He was lucky to meet the girl of his dreams, and have seven sons. Seven sons is another blessing of Lady Luck. But then in the river battle he lost three sons and barely survived himself, washing up on an island, and lost his lucky charms. That was the price Lady Luck took for saving his life. Now he wonders if she still smiles upon him, or if his luck is running out...
I always got excited in the books when reaching a Davis chapter. He provides an interesting insight as one of the few low born main characters and has tons of great interactions and dialogue. Plus hes just super likable
Davos is deadass one of the most under appreciated characters of all time. Love this man. LOVE HIM
Easily my favorite character.
If you ever woke up one day in the world of ice and fire... find Davos. He's the one character in the entire series that could keep you alive and unharmed.
Don’t get on his ship at the Blackwater though, in fact just don’t go to the Blackwater.
Also he probably wouldn't do anything unethical while keeping you alive.
I’d like to find him and maybe hang out w Tyrion
Unless your last name is "Baratheon" or "Targaryen".
Nah if I was in the World of Ice and Fire I would squire for Jaime Lannister.
When Stannis accused him of treaaon because he saved that boy's life, he replied "Same treason you've commited to Aerys when your brother rebelled against him?"
That sort of a man is our Davos

Trevor Wilson yh ik, but he does mainly exist initially for a viewpoint to Stannis, but in twow he will have another purpose
@@trevorwilson6683 He describes himself as a bit good and a bit bad to melisandre. Not strange if you consider his background. A truly 'good' character would not have become a smuggler.

It’s really cool how a seemingly uninteresting character could make a really good spin-off show. Really goes to show how good GRRM’s writing is.
5:05 " LEFT HAND"
5:12 *davos holds out right hand*
lol
Book/TV differences, calm down
He cant read. Give him a break. He pribably doesnt know his left from his right.
The actor is left handed. That’s why they changed it.
Seaworth->sigward->onion knight
Davos was a character that D&D could not possibly ruin
We need more of these!
One of my favorite characters from the books.
He does talk about his parents, son of a crabber. Only in the show. Good video!
Absolute legend this Character Ser Davos Seaworth is ⚔️
Wow as both an ASOIAF fan and a Dark Souls fan I’m so disappointed I never made that connection before
"May I offer you an onion in this trying time?"
- Ser Davos Devitto to Stannis Baratheon
He makes me cry.
Always loved his chapters.
Davos has all the cheat codes of ASOIAF world
Him and the spider were the characters i was hoping to see survive the games happy to see atleast he did.
*I am Siegmeyer of Catarina!!!!!!!!!!*
Davos was like Bronn, rose from the bottom and survived what most didn't to become knights and eventually members of Bran's small council....
All the food to smuggle, he picks onions to smuggle lol,
smuggle food into the city and save everyones lives and house and then get your fingers cut off? nope. would have gotten alot more out of the deal if he worked for the tyrells in secret and maybe smuggled in poisoned food or wine etc to weaken the garrison even more
One word for the man, Love.
One of best characters
Very well done my friend
yo so before he went to westeros he helped the chosen undead to link the first flame?
What do you use to make videos and is it free?
hes my goat of got
amazing video!!!
Am I the only one who noticed he uses the Curve cologne font in his videos? There's a nugget for ya.
The Han Solo of Westeros.
If you are a famous smuggler you are doing something wrong
Could you make something about Bronn? I've read only two books and get almost nothing on him but maybe you know something else.
There really isn't much backstory on him as of yet
There's not much about him in the books, they gave him more attention in the show because he's charismatic and the fans liked him
All we know is his mother hit harder.
To be honest I don’t really rate Bronn much in the books. He just seems what he is - fighter for hire, though a quick witted one to be fair. I didn’t think he was anything like the sexy Jerome Flynn version on the show lol!

He was the best Davos deserved, everything he got in Game of thrones.
When I was reading the second book this was may reaction-Holy s**t!Davos has 7 sons.
Awesome guy
There is another
Siegward
Davos is a well worded hustler and ended up on the small council...big ups brother
I always liked him
The Great Onion.
5:12
left hand? well that looks like right to me...
Goddaaamn i got money god daaamn i got onions
possible darks souls reference?
Davos of Catarina
He said he was a son of a crab fisherman
Could you do some Witcher stuff?
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Mance and Stannis will probably take the roles that Davos and Tormund had in the show.
Diego Rodriguez I can see that but I also see Stannis dying as well
Rokkfel To me, I think two former King’s who clearly don’t like one another and have differing views on everything and while assisting Jon, build up their own power base once more, is a much better dynamic then two former second in command of Kings who enjoy following a better leader.

What the hell is that abomination of a thumbnail! Sir Davos would never wear anything like that
You should start making ' Stranger Things' videos.
GOT is no more fun to talk about.
Its not GOT its ASOIAF and its fun and its always be fun. Books>>>> tv show.
It is
Also learn how to use proper grammar

The onion knight is the only person you could trust in the world.
Manuel Moreno not even Jon Snow? (I do trust the Onion Knight, but I trust Jon Snow too - and probably Maester Aemon too come to think of it!)

@@tzaph67 manuel meant the onion knights from the dark souls series
No, you can't. He betrayed stannis 2 times.
Siegmeyer and siegward yes!
The dark souls reference works waaaayy too well for this nickname
I think The Onion Knight is such an awesome nickname too because of the Dark Souls character.
are you ever going to make dark souls videos?
Possibly my favourite crossover ever! Jesus I can't wait for Elden Ring.

@Vice TOLUCT I mean they do have some similairites.

Stannis lucked out in finding Davos and making him his Hand. One in a billion chance and its done him well.
Davos best Hand of the King ever, even without fingers! xD
Just think it for a moment, one street orphan born in the poorest place of all Westeros, becoming Hand of the King, the second in comand of all Westeros
for his own achievements as a good adviser, not for being a noble like EVERY other player on this history (besides Varys).
Thats one of the things that make me say "Stannis is my only king!".
Mance Rayder was the same. And Littlefinger was the absolute lowest of lords. Most merchants were probably of higher status than him.
@@starwarfan8342 little fingers father got him to be a chilhood friend and rub elbows with the lords of 4 of the 7 realms, thats a big leg up
Among all plots and treacherys in the books, Davos is probably the only man you can trust, providing that you have proven yourself a worthy person.
"Davos isn't the most interesting character in the series"
Me: A lie, take it out
Can you make a video on all the religions in Game of Thrones
One of the greatest men in westeros
I want Book Stannis on the Iron Throne with Davos as his hand
I want Davos on the Throne.
Davos would be a decent hand.

Well obviously he’s from Catarina and joined the order there, he was good friends with Seigemire and Seigelinde you know.
At 5:05 it reads left hand, but a few seconds later he Davos shows his right hand with missing joints? Any reason for this?
The actor playing Davos needed to look good with a sword at times, so they changed it for the show because that was his main hand.
But does he have a sword able called Storm Ruler? Hmm?
I THINK NOT
Love the amor design in the thumbnail
Trust no one... Except Sir Davos, you can always trust Sir Davos.
