What do you think of the possibility that Varys is a Targaryen, either by virtue of the female Blackfyre line or of Aerion Brightflame from his time in Lys? Is there any possibility that Varys’s reproductive capacity was the price demanded by the Faceless Men? If so, who would have been the recipient of the gift? You can feel free to answer questions separately or not – if answered at all.

I’m a hard no on both questions. 

First, I’m very certain that Varys is exactly who he and Illyrio says he is, a former mummer who turned himself into one of the most influential people in Westeros and Planetos. 

Second, not only do I not think that happened, but I think the very idea would be an abomination for the Faceless Men. They’re not psychopaths, they’re a holy order.
