In terms of his end, I kind of like the idea of Varys trying to explain his Master Plan to Aegon once he’s gotten the young man on the Iron Throne, only to get Falstaffed:
Varys’ tragedy imho is his relationship with Aegon, whatever his heritage, and not Illyrio. It’s going to fail even though Varys’ plan worked to perfection — and at a key moment plotwise, Varys will probably even have to reveal everything to Aegon to keep him from doing something brash ala Quent re: Dany’s dragons. (My guess is that Arianne witnesses this, because it’s even more tragic from her perspective)
