Eunuchs game of thrones wiki

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, different regions are known to make eunuchs in different ways. Some only remove the testicles but leave the shaft of the penis intact, while others remove all external genitalia, both the penis and testicles. The slaver-city of Yunkai , for example, is known to make eunuchs by removing only a slave's testicles, but the slave-masters of Astapor make eunuchs by removing everything, penis and testes, such as when they make the Unsullied.

A eunuch with only the testicles removed but not the penis will still lose the will to partake of sexual activity, but other slave-masters like to be sure by removing the penis as well. In real life, if an adult man has his testicles removed, he can still achieve an erection. If a boy has his testicles removed before puberty, however, it is difficult to impossible for them to achieve an erection with the remaining shaft of the penis - due to the lack of hormones during the puberty years that would normally be supplied by the testicles.

This is a moot point for the Unsullied: both their testicles and penis shaft are removed when they are no more than five years old. Kraznys actually explains within the novels that eunuchs can sometimes achieve an erection if they only have their testicles removed, so this is why the Astapori cut off all of the Unsullied's genitals, just to be sure.

How that sort of person found himself on the King's Council, I will never know. So I've always wondered, do eunuchs have a phantom cock? Next time you think about naked girls, will you feel an itch?

They are very impressive on the battlefield. Less so in the bedroom. After seizing the city, the Unsullied carry out Dany's orders to crucify of the city's Great Masters for the slave children she found crucified on the way to Meereen. During that time, Grey Worm begins to develop feelings for Missandei. Barristan later watches the Unsullied taking down the crucified bodies of the Great Masters when he receives a letter from a little bird incriminating Jorah. After having an audience with an elderly slave named Fennesz and hearing about the lawlessness at the refugee centres, Dany agrees to send her Unsullied to restore order.

As a symbolic gesture of a new era, the Unsullied pulled down the large golden harpy at the top of the Great Pyramid. One of the Unsullied, named White Rat , enters a brothel and is entertained by a prostitute. He is then murdered by a member of the Sons of the Harpy , an insurgent organization opposed to Daenerys' rule and dedicated to restoring the old ways. Together, Grey Worm and Daario raid the house of a member of the Harpies and discover him behind a false wall.

Daenerys intends to put the Harpy on trial but a former Meereenese slave named Mossador murders him. To show that she is impartial and fair, Dany executes Mossador. This sparks much outrage among the former slave population and they haggle with both their former masters and the Unsullied guarding Dany. After ambushing several members of the Second Sons with help of the same prostitute, the Sons of the Harpy lure Grey Worm and his Unsullied patrol into the catacombs.

There, they are ambushed and many of the Unsullied are killed. Grey Worm is saved by the intervention of Barristan Selmy, who is killed by the Harpies despite killing all the remaining insurgents. As a result, Dany agrees to marry Hizdahr zo Loraq in order to forge stronger ties with Meereen.

At the urging of Hizdahr, Dany agrees to reopen the fighting pits in order to appease the Meereenese. Several Unsullied accompanied her to a fighting match where the exiled Jorah defeats the other combatants. Dany is furious at encountering Jorah and orders the Unsullied to take him away. Before the Unsullied can comply, the exiled Tyrion Lannister arrives and announces himself as Jorah's "gift.

Unable to forgive Jorah, she exiles him but allows Tyrion to remain as her advisor. Unsullied guards are present at the gladiatorial match at the reopened Daznak's Pit. Many Unsullied are killed when the Sons of the Harpy launch an attack on the arena. However, the Unsullied fight off their attackers and protect Daenerys with the help of Jorah and Daario. In the end, the Harpies force the Unsullied and their Queen to the centre of the arena. During the fight, the Unsullied kill many of the Harpies.

Shortly later, the dragon Drogon arrives and Dany flees the city on his back. Having recovered from injuries, Grey Worm agrees to take command of the Unsullied and help Tyrion keep order in the city.

Meanwhile, Jorah and Daario embark on a mission to rescue Danenerys and bring her back to Meereen. There, the spymaster Varys strikes a deal with Vala. In return for sending her and her son to live in Pentos , Vala reveals that the slave-trading cities of Astapor , Yunkai , and Volantis are secretly aiding the Sons of the Harpy.

Using this information, Tyrion gets Varys to use his spy network to initiate contact with the leaders of Astapor, Yunkai, and Volantis. As a former slave, Grey Worm thinks that the peace treaty will not work but publicly supports Tyrion.

Later, the slave-trading cities break their peace treaty with Tyrion and launch a naval bombardment of Meereen. Recognizing that diplomacy has failed, Tyrion gives Grey Worm command over the city's defenses. Grey Worm proposes that his Unsullied not fight on the beaches and instead hold the pyramid. Shortly later, Daenerys returns on her dragon Drogon. The next day, a group of Unsullied escort Daenerys and Tyrion when they parley with the leaders of the slavers' cities at the Great Pyramid.

The slaving cities' representatives, Belicho Paenymion , Razdal mo Eraz , and Yezzan zo Qaggaz demand that Dany and Tyrion surrender the Unsullied and Missandei in return for being allowed to leave Meereen unharmed. Yezzan states that the Unsullied and Missandei are to be auctioned off to the highest bidder and her other two dragons are to be slaughtered.

Dany corrects them, saying they are there to discuss the slavers' surrender, not hers. As they mock her, Drogon arrives and lands beside Dany. She climbs on his back and rides out to sea. Viserion and Rhaegal break free from the pyramid dungeon and join Drogon in destroying the ships attacking the city, allowing Dany to capture the remainder of the slavers' fleet.

After the emissaries' bodyguards flee, Missandei announces that one of the slavers must die, and Belicho and Razdal quickly give up Yezzan. Yezzan is allowed to leave so that he can spread word of Daenerys' power. When Daenerys sails to Westeros with her fleet, together with the combined Greyjoy, Tyrell, and Martell armadas, some of the Unsullied are seen standing together on the deck of a ship, led by their commander Grey Worm.

As their initial attempts are rebuffed, Grey Worm leads a team through the secret tunnel beneath the castle, which had been created by Tyrion to smuggle prostitutes.

The Unsullied overcome the paltry Lannister garrison only to discover that the bulk on the Lannister forces have evacuated Casterly Rock in order to march to Highgarden and sack it, in order to both take House Tyrell out of the war and to bolster the crown's depleted treasury. The Unsullied march through the Winter town on their way to Winterfell. Daenerys, Jon, Missandei and Grey Worm travel amongst them on horseback. After arriving at the castle, they make camp outside Winterfell's walls.

When the army of the dead attacks, the Unsullied bear the brunt of the Wights attack. The dead crash into their phalanx formations and roll over them. The Unsullied cover the living's retreat slowly moving back towards the trench.

Grey Worm collapses the bridge, leaving a large number of his soldiers trapped on the other side to make a last stand against the dead.

Grey Worm leads a small group of Unsullied to protect Melisandre , while she attempts to light the trench. Grey Worm and the remaining Unsullied fight for their survival after the dead breach the wall. Most of the dead Unsullied are briefly reanimated by the Night King , but are destroyed when Arya kills him. The tally in the aftermath of the Battle of Winterfell reveals that the Unsullied have been reduced to roughly half their number.

They take part in the Battle of King's Landing , besieging the city and later slaughtering both its defenders and civilians. Bran , who is elected as the new king, appoints Tyrion as his new Hand and sentences Jon to the Night's Watch. Grey Worm along with the Unsullied then decide to leave Westeros and sail for Naath.

Given that High Valyrian is an inflected language, the endings change depending how it is used in a sentence - i. They begin their training at five years old, when their genitals are fully removed. They are also given a puppy to look after, and at the end of the first year they must strangle the puppy to death.

If they refuse, they are killed. Only one in three survives the training regime not one in four, as said in the TV series. They are given a beverage called the "wine of courage", which over years numbs their body's ability to feel pain. Upon being given the spiked cap which is the symbol of their rank, they must go to the slave market, kill an infant slave before its mother and pay the slave owner for his loss.

It is often less difficult for them to kill the infant than the puppy - they don't know the infant, but were made to take care of the puppy. Their training is utterly brutal, designed not only to train them for combat but to strip them of any empathy, individuality, or sense of self-worth, in order to create soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their own lives if so ordered. Unsullied do not have permanent names, instead choosing new names at random every day, which are written on pieces of paper and then drawn by lot from a jar.

Even these temporary names tend to be demeaning descriptors such as "Grey Worm", etc. The extremely harsh training regime results in warriors who are unemotional, numbed against pain, and ferociously disciplined. They never loot or rape, they will hold against superior numbers, and will take their own lives if ordered to.

According to linguist David J. Peterson , the Dothraki respect the Unsullied so much that the Dothraki language does not derisively refer to them with terms that mean "slave" or "eunuch", etc. Due to pronunciation differences, this loanword became "Dovoeddi" in the Dothraki language. Unsullied serve under their own officers and function as small private armies which can be bought and sold. However, they are not mercenaries but slave-soldiers; they don't choose whom they serve, whom they fight, or if they are ordered to their deaths.

Though they are ferocious warriors, the Unsullied can become lazy if their mettle is not tested in battle.
