Interesting idea. Werthead Send a noteboard - 26/07/2011 12:25:11 PM
I say he is not innocent and he is one of Dany's three betrayals. I know this is not a rational explanation on why he is one of the three betrayals, but in the Slave Pit Dany's chapter where she is almost poisoned her hair catches on fire. (This fact is not mentioned during the Drogon confrontation but afterwards in a Barristan chapter and several times in the last chapter for Dany.)


I think the Green Grace is the Harpy, but it's unclear if Hizdahr is a stooge or a willing conspirator. The idea that Dany's hair burns when she is betrayed is an interesting one, though it may simply be down to the circumstances of there being a fire present.
